located in the very center of Krakow, not more than 10 minutes walk from the Central Market (Rynek Główny in Polish) and medieval downtown of Krakow. Although so close to the tourist center of Krakow the place is very quiet and calm. Along the Karmelicka street (which goes towards the Central Market) there are many bars and restaurants, usually significantly cheaper than restaurants in the neighborhood of Central Market.
Important: the building is in the yard. The gate is closed and it is needed to contact the reception, The doorbell is on the left side of the gate - to contact the reception desk you should choose 111.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Krakow is a very well-communicated city. Traveling between the venue area and the old town takes 20-30 min. A single-ride ticket (valid for 20 min) costs 4 PLN (~0.9 EUR). The tickets can be purchased in the ticket machines at tramway/bus or tramway/bus stops – although those at tramway/bus do not accept credit/debit cards (coins only). There is a very useful site that helps in using the public transport - see this link. It shows possible connections to a given destination and it is also accessible as a mobile app.
FROM THE AIRPORT
The best way to get to the city centre from the airport is to use a dedicated train line. It goes from the airport to the main railway station (Kraków Główny) every 30 minutes and costs around 4 EUR. Different options for getting to the city center from the airport can be found here - see this link.
