Getting here from abroad by...
Location
Our faculty is located close to the central part of Warsaw and is
surrounded by other university buildings: the faculties of
Biology, Chemistry, Geology and the Geophysics Institute. In the
nearest distance, there are also the Heavy Ion Laboratory, the Medical University of Warsaw and
the Interdisciplinary Centre for
Mathematical and Computer Modelling and some other research
institutes as well.
Transport
There are two bus lines from the Warsaw International
Airport: 175 and 188,
which pass very close to the faculty building (you should get off at
Banacha - szpital stop
and turn to Banacha street).
There are also trams 7, 9,
25 and a bus 521 from the Central
Railway Station (destination: Okęcie or
Szczęśliwice, get off at Kino Ochota stop and turn
to Winnicka street).
