Public transport

Wrocław has a quite good public transportation  system, which is available 24/7 so you'll have no problem getting to your destinationon a train, tram or bus. Tickets will cost you anywhere from 1.25-3 PLN,  depending on whether you're travelling during the day or night, taking an express bus or buying a discounted ticket for students. If you're anticipating a slightly longer stay it's best to buy a 1, 5, 10, 30, 60 or 90-day pass. To buy tickets look for one of the many kiosks or try the handy automated ticket machines. There are many road works and construction works in the area so when travelling on public transport be prepared for detours and occasional traffic jams.

Taxi

If you feel like having an adventure and enjoy rally racing, your best bet is to order a taxi. Polish cabbies are famous for their aggressive - but effective - driving as well as their  eagerness to share opinions on just about anything. How's the government doing? What's the weather going to be like in a year? Should you invest in bonds? The taxi driver will have all the answers to these important questions. Moreover, he will probably share them with you whether or not you ask. Remember that it's much cheaper and safer if you
call for a cab instead of snagging one from the ranks. The call is usually free and you will save anywhere from 5-30% on your fare.

Cars

Cars, like cabs, are an option for the adventurous... The roads in Poland are far from excellent and Polish drivers in general share some of the aforementioned cabbie  characteristics. Add to that some unusually complicated road signs and strict limitations on traffic within Old Town areas, and you've got yourself a potential headache. All in all, it's probably better to use the surprisingly good public transport. If you do decide to take your own wheels, however, remember that most parking spots in and around the centre are not free. Get a parking pass from a kiosk or from the automated machines which dot the street. And don't forget to drive on the right. In Poland it is prohibited to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs (remember, in Poland beer is also alcohol). If a car is brought to Poland it should be insured at the border. The cost of insurance depends on the size of the car and can be estimated at 430- 650 € per year.
