How to get to the tournament

Commute map

Generally speaking, we recommend taking a tram. Depending on your exact location, the connection can be direct, or may require you to change the tram on one of the stops. The stop you should arrive at is named Ruczaj and the following trams will take you there from the main train station:

  • Tram 52, direct connection with around 22 minutes of commute time
  • Tram 3 → 18, also ~22 minutes of time, but includes a change of tram
  • Tram 50 → 17, longer commute time (32 minutes) due to the route

After leaving the tram, it will be just a 5-minute walk to arrive at the final destination (Jagiellonian University, Faculty of Mathematics and Information Technologies).

If you want to drop by a shop, we can recommend getting off 1 stop earlier, on the Norymberska stop. There is a supermarket just next to the stop. (Please note that because of Polish laws, it will be closed on Sunday)

The tournament venue also offers a free of charge parking space.
