Food is an essential part of culture, and during Decarb Cities 2025, participants experienced Polish traditions through two special meals in historic settings.
🏛 Gala Dinner at the Historic City Hall (Wielopolski Palace)
Attendees stepped into history at Wielopolski Palace, a 16th-century landmark that now houses Krakow’s City Hall. This elegant setting, which has witnessed centuries of change, provided the perfect place to reflect on the transformation of European cities.
🍽 Traditional Lunch at Restaurant Wesele
Participants experienced Polish hospitality in the heart of Krakow’s Old Town. Restaurant Wesele offered a taste of traditional Polish cuisine, bringing regional flavours to the table in a warm and welcoming setting.
As part of the conference, attendees joined a guided site visit to the National Archives of Krakow, led by Jakub Koczorowski, Vice-President of PORT PC. This environmentally friendly and energy-independent building reflects 140 years of history while showcasing modern sustainability.
Powered by a ground source heat pump, the building draws energy from hundreds of metres of underground trenches, demonstrating how the past and future of energy innovation can coexist.
Decarb Cities 2025 partnered with AC Hotel by Marriott Kraków to offer participants a 15% discount on their stay. The hotel, located just a short distance from the city center, provided comfortable accommodations and convenient access to conference venues.
