Note that the area of Warsaw is divided into two zones, with zone 1 spanning through most of the urban part, hence tickets for zone 2 are only needed to access the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skm.warszawa.pl\/en\/\">City Train system<\/a> is available, it is not integrated with the other means of transportation (one needs to buy a separate, route dependent ticket) however. It also does not have a stop near the conference venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uber\/Bolt are another cheap options for commuting in Warsaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visa Invitation Letter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-5c257ad2bd4663d567e462689810be82 wp-block-paragraph\">To receive a visa invitation letter you should send an email to <a href=\"mailto:algo2025@mimuw.edu.pl\">algo2025@mimuw.edu.pl<\/a> titled &#8220;ALGO Invitation Request&#8221;.
