1) Each
ACA 2012 participant has to fill Registration form
as soon as possible (if not done yet).
Otherwise his/her name
will not be included in the list of participants and
a badge, conference materials, etc. will not be
prepared in advance for him.
The badges will play role of passes
to the Conference rooms and social events.
2) It is still possible
room
reservation to be made in Vitosha Park Hotel (see
Accommodation)
3) Arrival
information
Our
advise for reaching the hotel by
taxi: when arriving in Sofia and entering the
Arrivals hall of Sofia Airport, go ahead
to the right corner.
There is a desk of Taxi company named "OK Supertrans".
It is the official taxi company of the Airport. Its
cabs have phone number 973-21-21 written on taxi
sides. Do not
contact other taxi drivers -
some of them can ask you too much. Just go to the
desk and ask for a taxi. A girl/boy should bring you
to your taxi, which is waiting outside. The cost of
taxi transport to Vitosha Park
Hotel
is about 7-8 Leva. In all cases the taxi driver will
be happy if you give him 10 leva or a 5 Euro bill.
He is obliged to take Euro if you prefer so.
Taxi for
departure and for going to other places in Sofia can
be easilyarranged via hotel
reception.
4) Currency issues in Bulgaria
The local
currency in Bulgaria is Bulgarian Lev (Lv.).
1 Euro = approximately 1.95 Lv.
Major international credit/debit cards
can be used for paying the hotel
and for withdrawing local currency (Leva).
Do not exchange much money at the
airport, the rates are not
very good there. You may do that in
Vitosha Park Hotel or
in a bank
near the hotel. The rates there are fair.
5)
Weather
We expect the end of June to be
rather warm with daily
temperature
26-30
degrees. Clouds and showers are also possible for
short time.
