ABOUT JAGIELLONIAN UNIVERSITY

MOTTO: LET REASON PREVAIL OVER FORCE

Founded in 1364 by Casimir III the Great, the Jagiellonian University is the oldest university in Poland, the second oldest university in Central Europe and one of the oldest surviving universities in the world. Notable alumni include, among others, mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, poet Jan Kochanowski, Polish king John III Sobieski, constitutional reformer Hugo Kołłątaj. Among its students who did not earn a diploma were also Karol Wojtyła, future Pope John Paul II and Nobel laureates: Wisława Szymborska and Ivo Andrić.

BASIC INFORMATION

The University consists of 15 faculties (including the humanities, law, the natural and social sciences and medicine). The university employs roughly 4,000 academics and has more than 40,000 students who study in some 80 disciplines.

The university library is one of Poland’s largest. Due to its history, the JU

PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN KRAKOW

While Krakow has no underground metro system it does have an integrated bus and tram system which runs from 05:00 - 23:00, with night trams and buses continuing less frequently after that.

Check timetables and network maps online at mpk.krakow.pl (which has English functionality), and purchase tickets from the handy ticket machines (also in English) at major stops, on-board most trams and buses, or from the driver immediately on boarding if there is no ticket machine.

Note that the ticket machines at stops take bills and bank cards, but most of those on board trams and buses take coins only, so have some change handy.

Tickets are the same for trams and buses, and are timed, allowing you to change between tram or bus lines within the alloted time. The cheapest fare is good for 20mins at a cost of 3.40 zł.

By our estimation, this is about the time it should take to go 5-8 stops, and ideal for travel around the City Center. If you're going outside the centre, we recommend you purchase a 50min or single trip ticket for 4.60zł.

90-minute (6 zł), 24-hour (15 zł), 48-hour (28 zł), 72-hour (42 zł) are also options.

Most importantly, you must stamp your ticket immediately on boarding the tram or bus in the small machines on-board, even if you bought your ticket on-board. Beware that inspectors regularly travel on the lines handing out costly fines to those without valid tickets, and are notoriously unsympathetic towards tourists. Seriously, riding without a ticket can not only ruin your day, but your entire trip to Kraków .

TAXI

Not the dodgy enterprise it once was, most taxis are reliable and use their metres without any fiddling around. Calling ahead will get you a better fare, but if you hail one from the street make sure it is clearly marked with a company name and phone number displayed, as well as a sticker demarcating prices in the window. Taxis are now legally obliged to give you a printed receipt at journey's end further limiting the likelihood of any funny business. You can expect a standard fare to be about 7zł plus about 2.30zł per kilometre; at night and on Sundays, however, fares increase by up to 50%.

We suggest using a taxi radio:
