Transportation
Wrocław Airport is small one and it’s easy to get to the city center.
You can use public transportation, from under the terminal runs bus 106 – it goes to the city center (stops Renoma or Central Railway Station/PKP Wrocław Główny), the ride takes about 45 minutes, the fare can be paid contactless at the vending machines on the buses (the ticket is written on the card, not printed on paper, you can choose a single ticket – for a single journey on a single line – or a timed ticket – e.g. 60-minute, daily, 72-hourly for all lines).
We have a useful application jakdojade.pl/wroclaw (easy to navigate also on website) which shows the possibilities of getting anywhere by various means of transport, but google maps also suggest reasonable routes (public transport tab).
If you are going to take cabs, we recommend the MyTaxi or iTaxi app, we certainly do not recommend getting a cab at a taxi stop, especially at the airport and railway station. Wrocław, like other Polish cities, does not have standardized fares and you risk paying huge amounts.
