EXCHANGE OFFICES
We suggest using THIS exchange office (10 minutes from the conference vanue). There is an another exchange office located even closer to the conference venue (in the Prus bookstore, 50 meters from the conference venue) but it offers very disadvantageous rates so our suggestion is to avoid it.
