Current Trends in Theoretical Chemistry VIII 1-5 September 2019, Kraków, Poland |
Transportation in KrakówThe CTTC VIII Conference Venue (the new building which houses Jagiellonian University’s Faculty of Chemistry) is located at Gronostajowa 2, 30-387 Kraków. The venue’s main entrance is accessed from Łojasiewicza street and can easily be reached by public transport (MPK). From the city center area, you can take trams no. 18 (e.g. stop “Teatr Bagatela”, 5 min. away from “Dom Profesorski im. St. Pigonia”) and 52 (e.g. stop “Teatr Słowackiego”, 5 min away from the Krakow Glowny train station), or bus no. 194. The “Czerwone Maki P+R” direction of all of these routes will take you very close to the conference venue; you should disembark at the “Norymberska” stop (this stop is located near a Kaufland store and is a short walk from the Faculty building – when you disembark, proceed further on foot along the pedestrian path that follows the tram track in the same direction that the tram/bus was going; the faculty building will soon appear on your right).

Below are the prices (in PLN) of some selected tickets in the city transport system MPK:
Tickets can be bought from vendors at some kiosks, from stationary ticket vending machines at some tram/bus stops, or from ticket vending machines installed in the transportation vehicle (using only coins and / or debit/credit card; some of these machines will take only one option or the other). Drivers can sell 90-minute tickets (for 6 PLN) when the vehicle is stopped, but only if the ticket machine that is installed on the vehicle is not functioning. Remember that all tickets have to be validated (with a time stamp) when you start your journey; this is done by inserting your ticket into one of the stamping machines that are installed in every vehicle. |
