Agenda

How to get there

Generally speaking, we recommend taking a tram. The nearest stop to the tournament venue is Zabłocie. Below are example tram connections from the Main Railway Station:

• Tram 50 from stop Dworzec Główny Tunel, direct connection with around 10 minutes of commute time
• Tram 20 from stop Teatr Słowackiego, also around 10 minutes of commute time

After leaving the tram, the building is located right next to the stop — you only need to cross the road. There are many convenience stores in the area, and if larger shopping is needed, Galeria Kazimierz is located nearby, where there is a Carrefour store. (Please note that due to Polish law, the store will be closed on Sunday, 15 February. The convenience stores remain open.)
