Getting there

The best route from Poznań Główny (the main railway station) to the conference venue depends on the station platform, where your train will stop. All routes have similar lenght and all should take 10-15 minutes of walk.

Getting off train on platforms 4, 5, 6 it's best to cross to platform 4 and go towards the bridge (Most Dworcowy). When you come across stairs, go up or use the elevator. Then head left, towards the glass pavilion of the Poznań International Fair. Use the marked pedestrian crossing towards the pavilion. Turn right in front of the pavilion and continue along the Fair buildings on Roosevelt Street. Then use the pedestrian crossing towards Sheraton Hotel. Going straight ahead and passing Sheraton on the left hand side, you should see Mercury Hotel in front of you. All that's left is to cross the roundabout - which you can do either via subway tunnel or using surface crossing on Zwierzyniecka street.
