Travel
By air
Wrocław Airport (WRO) services flights of LOT, Lufthansa, Ryanair and Wizz Air companies. The everyday flights connect Wroclaw with cities in France, Spain, UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Norway.
To get from the Wrocław Airport (WRO) to the city centre you need to take a taxi or a bus no. 106 (206 at night). The map of the city buses and trams you can find here (daily transport) and here (nightly transport) (it is advisable to zoom in the view of the documents). You can also check out this page for communicating in Wrocław (for English version click on the gear in top right corner of the page).
By train
A host of railway companies offer transport services: PKP Intercity and Przewozy Regionalne operate long-haul connections, while regional carriers (e.g. Koleje Dolnośląskie) cater to passengers travelling shorter distances. Depending on your budget, when heading for more distant destinations you can choose among express (Intercity), fast and local lines, both national and international ones.
To guarantee that you have a place to sit on the train, make sure to take out a separate seat reservation. Otherwise you risk spending your journey standing in the corridor for several hours.
For information about train arrivals and departures, go online. You can find the most comprehensive timetable here.
By bus
You can take a bus to reach most smaller towns that have no rail connections. Operated in the past by regional branches of the Motor Transport Company (PKS), today most of these lines have been taken over by private companies. National and international coach lines are also operated by private travel agencies. For timetables and fares, look for information at bus terminals, or check online. With information tending to be patchy, though, planning your journey can be difficult at times. So when charting your journey it is worth visiting e-podróżnik.pl. The website features probably the most up-to-date timetables of almost all major national carriers, both trains and buses. You can buy tickets at ticket windows in bus terminals, or from the coach driver (not applicable to long-haul international travel) prior to departure.
By car
If you decide to travel to Poland by car, please check this brochure for general information and rules.
Depending on your budget, you may choose between higher and lower standard hotels, hostels and apartments. Here, we listed just a few examples of those. For more extensive lists, please refer to accommodation searching engines online, e.g. booking.com, nocowanie.eu.

Poland does not require a VISA for most countries, however, we advise you to check individual needs here.
Additional information can be obtained at the Embassy or Consulate of the Republic of Poland in your country.
The official currency of Poland is “złoty” (PLN). Foreign currency can be exchanged on the arrival at the Wrocław Airport and downtown Wrocław. Bank agencies and automated teller machines (ATM) can be found in downtown Wrocław and at big communication hubs (Wrocław Airport, Wrocław Główny railway station).
Currency Exchange and ATMs at the Airport
Be aware of the currency exchange rate and check with Google currency converter first so as not to get fooled by fraud exchange offices.
More about “złoty” for curious: Wiki
Wrocław has a humid continental climate (Dfb in the Koeppen climate classification). It is one of the warmer cities in Poland. Lying in the Silesian Lowlands between Trzebnickie Hills and the Sudetes, the mean annual temperature is 9.04 °C (48 °F). The coldest month is January (average temperature −0.7 °C), with snow being common in winter, and the warmest is July (average temperature 18.9 °C). The highest temperature in Wrocław was 8 August 2015 (+38.9 °C). The lowest temperature was 11 February 1956 (−32 °C). To see more, check Wiki.
But whatever the weather meets us on May, it is best to have both sunglasses and a raincoat.
Electricity
Since 2003 the electrical power in Poland has been adapted to the EU standards – today there is 230 V current in sockets. Sockets types used in Poland are Type E and Type F, but you may sometimes meet older Type C. If you need an adapter, remember to take one with you.
Time zone
In the winter, i.e. from the last Sunday of October to the last Sunday of March, Poland falls under the Central European Time Zone, that is CET (UCT +1). On the last Sunday of March, we set our clocks to daylight saving time, 1 hour forward in relation to the CET time (UCT +2).
