The centre of Krakow is entirely pedestrianised so that walking between the main sights is both quick and safe. Use the cheap and frequent trams to get to the historic outlying eastern districts such as Kazimierz and Plaszow. Avoid taxis for short journeys as they are expensive.
As of 2008 a single journey on a tram (any distance) cost 2.5PLN. You need to buy your tickets from the machines at most stops and validate them when on board (in the little orange machine).Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
