Tram

Krakow has an extensive, convenient and cheap tram network. 

The closest tram stop is only one block away (3 minutes walk).  To reach it, turn left when you leave the hotel and then turn left again on the main street (Starowiślna). 

Just hop on, and buy your ticket on the tram (all machines take cash,  contact-less credit card payment option is becoming more and more common).

For more information on the tram network please see the official city tram site (the closest tram stop is marked on the map as "Miodowa").  To go towards the center catch a tram on the hotel side of the main street "Starowislna". 

  • No 3 for the old town & Galeria Krakowska shopping center
  • No 17 & 19 for the main train station
  • No 24 for the old town, anti-clock wise around Planty to Karmelicka street
