By the terminal you will find a taxi rank and public bus stop (line 406) that will take you directly to the city center, leaves every 20 minutes to the Wroclaw Main Railway Station (pol.

You can buy a bus ticket at the terminal or at the ticket vending machine at the bus stop. The standard fare for a single ticket is 3.00 PLN, while students pay half price (small ticket machines are also located on board of every tram/bus and operates only on credit/debit cards, no cash accepted).
Be cautious in choosing taxis at the railway station, bus stations and in the city center. Always take an registered taxi (with corporation logos and price list on passenger window) and ask how much is a trip before you get in. An airport transfer should not exceed 75 PLN.

BUSES
An alternative mode of transportation is the inter-city express coach service PolskiBus www.polskibus.com. They connect 22 Polish cities and 6 foreign locations: Berlin, Berlin Schonefeld, Bratislava, Prague, Vienna and Vilnius. The coaches are usually equipped with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.

CARS
When driving a car in Wroclaw, you need to remember that many streets in the centre proper are pedestrian precincts or one-way streets. There is also a paid parking zone established where fees range from PLN 1 to PLN 3 per each subsequent hour - you may always look up the price list on the reverse of the parking sign. For parking in the metered parking zone, you need to pay at parking meters. ATTENTION - parking meters do not give change. Upon payment, the parking meter will print out a confirmation for the driver - a parking ticket to be placed behind the windscreen of the vehicle so that it can be inspected.
We do not recommend to use the car while visiting the city - You should expect traffics in the city center (morning ~7:30-9:00 and afternoon ~15:00-18:00).


TAXI
Licensed taxis need to have a roof top sign with the word "taxi" and the word "Wroclaw" plus the side number on the side doors and the price-list stuck to the window. They need to be quipped with a taximeter and a fiscal cash register.
