Travel
Travel by air:
Wroclaw has its own International airport in Strachowice, roughly 12km from the city centre.
Although you can get to Wroclaw by bus from the airport (No 406), this goes to the main railway station, which is some 20 minutes from the hotel.
It is therefore recommended to take a taxi from the airport directly to the hotel. The cost will be about PLN 40.
More information about getting to Wroclaw, and travelling around once you get there, is available at a number of web sites. For example:
