Rita Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 There are no train services serving the airport at Wroclaw but there are two bus services to the city centre. An express service (number 406 ) operated by the municipal bus company runs into town every 30 minutes. There is slightly more expensive service run by a private operator but this only meets some UK flights. Both depart from just outside the terminal building but they stop at different places in the centre. If you travel on the municipal bus with a large suitcase then you must purchase two "express bus" tickets (one for the passenger and one for the suitcase). Express bus tickets are slightly more expensive than the normal bus and tram tickets and, be warned, you can be fined on the spot if you have the wrong type of ticket (or if you have not stamped your ticket using the machine onboard the bus). As regards hotels, I can recommend either the Orbis Hotel Wroclaw or the Hotel Jana Pawla II on opposite sides of the city centre. Both are good quality hotels with very reasonable rates. It is a long walk to the Olympic Stadium from the city centre but tram services nos. 8, 9 and 17 run along this route at very frequent intervals and the journey takes less than 15 minutes. Tickets for a single journey only cost about 2zl and can be bought at any of the Ruch kiosks all around the city. Wroclaw is a great city for a long weekend so make the most of your visit. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanks for the info have booked rooms at the orbis, special weekend rate at £30 per night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Bazarou Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Wroclaw is one of those huge German style sporting parks (it was constructed when Wroclaw (Breslau) was part of Germany). Thus, the entrance to the complex is a long way from the track. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> . . and looks something like this . . . http://community.webshots.com/photo/389048...389051708AXzJRo More on my webshots below including the worlds biggest barbecue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Star Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 (edited) thanks for the info have booked rooms at the orbis, special weekend rate at £30 per night <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When you check in be sure to ask for a room at the front of the hotel - the views of the city centre from the upper floors are really good and you can also see the floodlight pylons of the Olympic Stadium in the distance. The hotel is about 800m from the 406 bus stop in Kosciuszki. The 406 bus back to the airport stops in Podwale which is slighly further away from the hotel (Kosciuszki and Podwale are both one one-way streets hence you get dropped off and picked up in different places). Tram number 17 stops just outside the side of the hotel. Hope that you have a great time. Edited November 5, 2005 by Lucky Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 We have always stayed at the Novotel because its cheep (we payed £20 a night for a double room) , its about 10 minutes walk to a direct to the track tram stop, its straight off the motorway & they guard our car.
