How to reach the hotel
From Kraków airport:
There’s a direct train from the airport to the hotel’s neighbourhood, running every 30 minutes. Take regional train SKA1 (ending in Wieliczka of saltmine fame), but you need to get off at Zabłocie station, then walk 6 minutes to the hotel.
From the main train/bus station:
Take regional train SKA1, SKA2 or SKA3 to Zabłocie station, then walk 6 minutes to the hotel.
Alternatively, take tram 3 from near the train station (runs every 8 minutes), and get off at ‘Plac bohaterów getta’, then walk 4 minutes to the hotel.
From the Old Town / elsewhere in Kraków:
The tram stop near the hotel (‘Plac bohaterów getta’) is served by 6 lines: 1, 3, 5, 17, 24, 69. From Rynek (‘main market square’), walk to the ‘Poczta Główna’ stop (‘main post office’), and take tram 1, 3, 5, 24, 69.
Practically all of these tram lines originate from one of the suburbs, go past the old town ring, then head south to cross the river. You need to get off right after the bridge to reach the conference venue.
Other places to stay
Aparthotel Adler (2 minutes away)
This 3-star hotel is 200 meters away from the conference venue, offering rooms at a more afforable rate.
Their website is under redesign, and it’s currently not really user-friendly, but they do operate.
They offer discounts on stays of at least 3 nights.
Write to them directly, or fill in the booking form under ‘Request footer’.
Kraków B&B (7 minutes away)
This small hotel has a dozen or so rooms, perfect for couples or 3 people staying together. Each room comes with a kitchenette. You can have breakfast at a bakery on the ground floor.
Room rates are the lowest in this part of town.
Book directly on their website.
Lwowska 1 Aparthotel (5 minutes away)
This 4-star hotel is right at the tram stop, i.e. 4-5 minutes on foot to the conference hotel. Room rates here are 10-20% lower than at Qubus.
Their website is informative and easy to navigate.
Pro tip: you may be eligible to a 10% discount if you sign up to their newsletter before booking your room. (Open the website, then attempt to leave it — you’ll see a popup where they prompt to sign up to get a discount.)
Elsewhere in town
Kraków has plenty of hotels and apartments of all shapes and sizes. Obviously, the ones in the old town cost significantly more.
The conference hotel is served by 6 tram lines, 5 of which pass through a section of the old town ring, then continue to other neighbourhoods.
A good idea to secure cheaper rates than on booking sites is finding hotels/apartments on Google Maps, then contacting them directly through their websites.

Flying to Kraków (and elsewhere in Poland)
Flights to Kraków
Kraków airport (KRK) is well connected internationally. Check out all 126 destinations on Wikipedia (list) and FlightConnections (map).
It’s easy to reach the conference venue from the airport with a direct train link to Zabłocie station + a 5-minute walk.
Flights to Warsaw
Warsaw airport (WAW) has many more connections, and this may be a good option, especially from longer distances. (List / Map).
From this airport you can either get a connecting flight to Kraków, or take a train: First, take line S2 to Warszawa Zachodnia station, change to a train to Kraków, then take a local train to Zabłocie station. The entire journey from Warsaw airport to the conference hotel can be done in 3 hours. For details, click on the link above or here.
The Polish capital has another airport, Modlin (WMI), farther away from the centre, and served only by Ryanair to a small number of destination. It takes over 4 hours to reach Kraków from here.
List / Map / Getting to Kraków
Flights to Katowice
Katowice (KTW) is 80 kms away from Kraków, and it has an international airport, although mostly used for holiday destinations. There are hourly direct buses to Kraków’s bus terminal, which is right next to the train station – take a local train to Zabłocie station.
List / Map / Getting to Kraków
Flights to Wrocław / Gdańsk
These cities are great destinations on their own right, and it’s worth visiting them before or after the conference. Both have many international flights, and it takes about 5 hours to reach Kraków by train from both cities. There are also direct flights from Gdańsk to Kraków. For trains, you’ll need to cchange in Warsaw.
How to find connecting low-cost flights
If you fly from a European city without a direct flight to Seville, you can find connecting flights on low-cost airlines on the website AZair.eu.
Step 1: Enter your airport of origin and the detination. If you live near several airports, you can enter multiple airports as well; results will include all possible flights.
Step 2: Enter the dates. For the chapest rates, try to be flexible. Enter the earliest possible date of departure, the latest possible date of return, and the number of days you wish to stay at your destination. Please note that most flights in April are not listed yet — these may be available from August or September.
Step 3: Enter the number or maximum changes. In most cases, you’ll go for 1. If you have direct flights by several low cost airlines from your region to Seville, enter 0.
Step 4: Search results are ranked by price (lowest first). You can change the sorting key to departure date/time as well. Check the duration of time between the two flights. If it’s too short (less than 90 minutes), especially in the evenings, you may miss your connecting flight, as it happened to your conference organizer. Morning flights are more reliable to keep their scheduled departure and arrival times, whereas delays are more likely later in the day. Make sure you have hand luggage only so you don’t have to check in again. Also, avoid a stopover in the UK, and you’ll probably have to go through immigration.
Step 5: Prices are indicative only, and usually they reflect the prices a ofew days earlier. In other words, actual prices may be higher.
Step 6: Buy the actual tickets on the respective airline’s website as usual.
Benefits: This website can find routes that may not have thought of before. For example, Milan (MXP), Rome (FCO), or Palma (PMI) may turn out to be good stopover points with cheap fares on both legs of your journey to Seville.
BP25 :: FAQ
Registration / Buying a ticket
How do I register for the conference?
To register for BP25 Translation Conference, click on the Registration button above (opens BPconf.com/BP25/Registration).
Choose whether you need to pay VAT or you can buy without VAT. Select the ticket type below the relevant section.
Click on ‘Add to Cart’ under the items you wish to buy, then click on the blue ‘View cart’ link that appears next to this button.
Click through the Cart page to open the Checkout page. Here, you should enter your billing details. At the bottom of the page, select your preferred method of payment.
For bank and Wise transfers, enter the 5-digit order number in the comment field (starting with 6). DO NOT enter your name or the items you purchased.
There’s no physical ticket, and there’s no QR code.
Once your payment arrives, you’ll receive an invoice, and we’ll keep track of all purchases, so we’ll know who bought a ticket.
You may need to produce an ID card at the event when picking up your badge and conference bag.
Conference prices
See the prices on the Registration page.
23% VAT on all sales
All ticket sales are subject to a 23% Polish VAT.
In line with article 53 of the European Union’s VAT directive, the place of delivery of in-person events is the country where the event takes place.
Also, the reverse charge mechanism cannot be applied, which means that you must pay VAT even if you purchase your ticket as a company.
The good news is that you can claim back this VAT amount if your company has an EU VAT number, or if you are based in a handful of other countries (including the UK and Switzerland).
How to claim back VAT
You can claim back the VAT amount if your company is based in the EU (but not in Poland) and you have a valid EU VAT number.
Check the process for some countries (more will be added soon)
AT BE BG CY CZ DE DK EE EL ES FI FR HR HU IE IT LT LU LV MT NL PL PT RO SE SK SI
You can also request VAT refund if your company is based in any of the following countries:
CH, IS, MK, NO, UK
If your company is based outside the EU, unfortunately you are not eligible for a VAT refund. You can write off the gross amount as a business expense.
You cannot claim back the VAT amount if you purchased your ticket as an individual, no matter where you are.
Invoicing
Since the event takes place in Poland this year, we need to comply with Polish regulations. We use a Polish invoicing software that’s integrated with our WooCommerce shop.
However, not everything is fully automated. Here’s the workflow:
Card payment
You’ll receive an automatically generated invoice right after your purchase. This will have to be manually replaced by a ‘prepayment invoice’, and the automatically generated ‘invoice’ will be cancelled in our system.
Please use only the ‘prepayment invoice’ for accounting purposes. (The document issued must be called a ‘prepayment invoice’ because it refers to a service that will be provided in the future.)
Bank transfer
You’ll receive an automatically generated pro forma invoice that includes the necessary details for your bank transfer.
Once your payment is confired, we’ll manually convert the document into a ‘prepayment invoice’, and you’ll receive this by email.
Remote tickets
Please fill in the form above, under ‘Register for remote attendance’. All invoices will be handled manually for the time being. The VAT treatment of remote tickets is different from in-person tickets.
Registration timeline
The ‘Early bird’ rate is valid for the first 100 tickets sold, or until 28 February at the latest.
The ‘Regular’ rate will be valid for the next batch of 80 tickets, or until 11 April at the latest.
The ‘Late’ rate will be valid from 12 April.
The last day to register for in-person attendance will be 6 May.
For cut-off dates regarding cancellation, see the Cancellation policy.
Information about remote attendance will be available soon.
How much money do I need in total?
During the early bird period (first 100 tickets), the conference ticket itself costs 318€ (+VAT). Later, it will be higher, but not prohibitively higher. If you add two networking dinners (most people do), this will cost 110€ more.
You’ll need to pay for your flight or train tickets, and this, obviously, greatly varies according to where you live. As a rule of thumb, the earlier you buy your ticket, the cheaper it is.
Accommodation: We have a special deal at the conference hotel (see above). Check other sites as well, as rooms may be cheaper on Booking.com or similar sites during certain periods.
You can save a substantial amount if you can find a roommate to split the costs. If you stay more than just a couple of days, renting a holiday apartment may be a cheaper and more comfortable option, especially if you can split the costs between 3-4 or more people.
Under The Venue section above, you can find information about cheaper hotels in the vicinity of the conference hotel.
You may want to set aside some money for fringe events such as walking tours, day trips, as well as museum entrance fees, meals, and souvenirs.
Where does my money go?
Over half the amount of your ticket covers conference room rental, equipment rental, as well as catering at the event.
We also need to cover speakers’ costs, organizer’s expenses, as well as badges, bags, notepads, pens.
A part of the ticket revenue covers various licences (conference app, a dozen or so software subscription fees, and so on).
Oh, and a sizeable chunk is paid to the coffers as various taxes.
Cancellation policy
We offer a generous cancellation policy. You can find its full text, together with our general terms and conditions here.

The conference itself
I don't know anybody -- can I still go?
BP Translation Conferences have a reputation of bringing people together. We put a special emphasis on welcoming first-time attendees.
Our networking dinners are highly popular, with over 70% attending both the welcome reception and the gala dinner.
The majority of first-timers usually integrate easily into the conference crowd.
Can I see the programme already?
A preliminary programme is already available on the Programme page.
12 May: Morning workshop (AI tools): 9:30 – 13:00, afternoon workshop (Terminology): 14:30 – 18:00. Welcome reception: 19:30 – 21:30
13 May: Conference hours: 9:00 – 17:00. Gala dinner 19:00 – 23:30
14 May: Conference hours: 9:20 – 17:00
The event venue
All conference sessions and workshops will take place at Hotel Qubus (Nadwiślańska 6, 30-527 Kraków, Poland).
All conference rooms are located on the first floor, accessible by elevator or stairs.
BP25 attendees get a special rate at the hotel (see above under ‘The Venue’ section).
Tthe hotel also boasts a rooftop swimming pool, with beautiful view over the old town and the castle.
Staying at the conference hotel allows you to spend more time with fellow attendees, either at the bar or during breakfast.
Networking dinners
We’ll have a welcome reception on Monday, 12 May, in the evening hours; most probably in the hotel’s foyer.
Our gala dinner will take place on Tuesday, 13 May, on a stationary boat on the Vistula river.
These dinners will be included in the Premium ticket. If you’d like to attend only one of these dinners, you can buy a Basic ticket and add the dinner of your choice as a separate item.
It is possible to invite guests to both dinners (by buying an additional dinner ticket).
The conference will end with a farewell cocktail around 17:00 on Wednesday, 14 May — this is covered by all conference tickets.

How to find connecting low-cost flights
If you fly from a European city without a direct flight to Seville, you can find connecting flights on low-cost airlines on the website AZair.eu.
Step 1: Enter your airport of origin and the detination. If you live near several airports, you can enter multiple airports as well; results will include all possible flights.
Step 2: Enter the dates. For the chapest rates, try to be flexible. Enter the earliest possible date of departure, the latest possible date of return, and the number of days you wish to stay at your destination. Please note that most flights in April are not listed yet — these may be available from August or September.
Step 3: Enter the number or maximum changes. In most cases, you’ll go for 1. If you have direct flights by several low cost airlines from your region to Seville, enter 0.
Step 4: Search results are ranked by price (lowest first). You can change the sorting key to departure date/time as well. Check the duration of time between the two flights. If it’s too short (less than 90 minutes), especially in the evenings, you may miss your connecting flight, as it happened to your conference organizer. Morning flights are more reliable to keep their scheduled departure and arrival times, whereas delays are more likely later in the day. Make sure you have hand luggage only so you don’t have to check in again. Also, avoid a stopover in the UK, and you’ll probably have to go through immigration.
Step 5: Prices are indicative only, and usually they reflect the prices a ofew days earlier. In other words, actual prices may be higher.
Step 6: Buy the actual tickets on the respective airline’s website as usual.
Benefits: This website can find routes that may not have thought of before. For example, Milan (MXP), Rome (FCO), or Palma (PMI) may turn out to be good stopover points with cheap fares on both legs of your journey to Seville.
