First, while arrival by water transportation is entirely possible, it is highly recommended that visitors fly into Aeroporta Zemli (AZM), as transit between the airport and hotels will be much faster and more efficient than if visitors were to come in via any other method. As stated in the original host bid, visitors will be giften a packet upon arrival, which goes through Angradka's public transportation network in-depth, along with a code to give visitors access to the official app, which lets travelers know when the next bus or train is expected to arrive at your closest station. Angradka prides itself on having one of the best public transit systems in Polkopia and, although it isn't in commission as of now, the city is expected to launch its first monorail train within a week of the conclusion of Worldvision.
There are seven designated hotels that are completely booked for the participating nations' delegations, as well as VIP pass holders, and these hotels are located only a short bus ride to the arena. These hotels are some of the most luxurious in the city and come complete with incredible views, immaculate food, and friendly service.
As for leisure, there are plenty of things to do in and around the city. Gradskiy Sad, the city's largest public garden, is located in the center of the city accessible by subway in its most northwest and southeast points. The garden was opened in 1979 and daily history tours are available, where guides walk you around the city and describe the events that have happened within the garden's perimeter, including the revolutionary gallows and burial ground which were commissioned during the Polkopian Revolution, the site of the first LGBTQ+ rally led by Yvon Alkolyev, and the site where revolutionary leader Hans Tillamn was assassinated by the pro-government party during the final days of the Revolution. Besides this, Gradskiy Sad provides picturesque gardens and a quiet, serene place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the busy Angradkan life. Another popular tourist destination is the Fyodorovskiy Krim, located along the outskirts of the city, which is the city's oldest surviving structure. Visitors will be able to tour the walls, visit the city's oldest church and mosque, and see battle reenactments with authentic 17th-century weaponry.
Besides these two popular sites, the city boasts several nightclubs which will be opened for the nights leading up to the contest. Several guest appearances by local celebrities will be sure to attract crowds from around the city, so make sure you get there early! Furthermore, the food culture is incredibly diverse, as the city is home to two of the nation's most prestigious culinary schools, meaning that new restaurants are constantly popping up around the city. From young, aspiring Besenian chefs, to established Axuvian restauranteurs, one can find mouthwatering delicacies on every street corner.
We hope that you enjoy your stay in Angradka and we wish all the contestants the best of luck.
