By car
For tips concerning travelling by car, see the Kraków Travel website: krakow.travel/en.
With limited parking and much of the Old Town a car-free zone, driving in Kraków will be more of a hindrance than a help. What’s more, most tourist attractions are in the Old Town or within easy walking distance, so you won’t need a car, buses or trams unless you’re staying outside the centre.
Free public transport for MIRCIM participants
All conference participants are entitled to free travel on public transportation, including trams and buses, by simply presenting their conference badge. This service is provided in partnership with MPK Krakow (www.mpk.krakow.pl/en). Your conference badge will include a holographic sticker for validation. Please ensure you carry your badge with you at all times to present during ticket inspections. Enjoy convenient and cost-free travel throughout the conference period.
Kraków is served by an efficient network of trams and buses that run between 5AM and 11PM.
