Directions
A) From the Main Train and Bus Station in Krakow
Tram or Bus To get to the city from the bus station walk through the train station or the Galeria Krakowska Mall to the square in front. Then you�ll have to go under the street to get to the tram / bus stop -- take a look at the map to see where. Before boarding the tram or bus you�ll need to buy a ticket in a kiosk if it�s open (say �bilet normalny�) or from the machine on the tram or bus (with coins only, no notes). Take tram no. 2 or bus no. 522. If you go by tram you should get off at the 3rd stop (by bus it�s the 2nd stop). In both cases the stop is called �Filharmonia�. Follow Floriana Straszewskiego Street (just go straight) and take the second turn if you came by tram or the fi rst if by bus) to the right. You�ll be on Plac na Groblach, and we�re here at No.8.
Walk If you have some time to spare (about 20- 30 min.), the weather is nice and you�re not weighed down by a gigantic backpack, why not walk here? It is a nice stroll and will give you a good fi rst look at the city. Walk through the pedestrian subway towards the city center. Take the exit straight ahead, and after reaching the top of the hill, continue walking to the left. The path goes via Planty (the park stretching around the Main Square area). After a while you�ll see Dominikańska street (with tram tracks) crossing the Planty. Take it to the right. Go straight (it turns into Franciszkańska) until it crosses Straszewskiego street. Then turn left onto Straszewskiego. The First turn on the right is Plac na Groblach. You�ll fi nd our hostel here at No.8.

Train Take the train from the Airport and get off at the Main Railway Station. Follow the instructions given on the left of this page. The train leaves every 30 min and costs 8 PLN. The whole journey takes 15 minutes. You�ll get on the train about 200m from main airport terminal, and there�s a free bus every few minutes if you don�t want to walk. You can buy your ticket on the train.
Bus Take bus No. 292 and get off next to the lower platform of the Main Bus Station (Dworzec Głï¿½wny Wsch�d). Then follow the instructions on the left. The journey takes 45 minutes and requires a one-way ticket (called bilet normalny).
