Getting around in Krakow
Public Transport
Krakow has a very well-connected transportation network. Bus and streetcar stops are in close proximity to facilitate transfers. Sometimes they even use the same transfer hub.
You can find all the recommendations on getting around in Krakow on the official visitor website.
Tickets For Public Transport
There are vending machines at major bus stops where we can purchase transportation tickets with cash or with a credit card. Most streetcars and buses also have this option, but not all of them, so it is recommended to purchase tickets before entering the buses/trams.
We can recommended to install an application that allows you to purchase tickets online on your phone (for example: jakdojade). We remind you that after buying such a ticket, you need to enter the special bus/tram number, which can be found inside the vehicle on a blue board usually pasted near the entrance.
