ÅródmieÅcie is a relatively small district. The entire width of ÅródmieÅcie could be walked in roughly 25 - 35 minutes. The length of the district, however, would be longer by approximately an hour or so of non-stop and brisk walking. The district's geographical location and size makes it the easiest district to get around. Being home to many well-known businesses, governmental institutions, universities, and the center of a tourist's universe means that public transportation is well built up in the district.
By bus
Dworzec Centralny is also a big bus terminus. Note that the stops are named either Dw. Centralny or E. Plater but they are really just next to each other.
On foot
Considering that the strict city center is a flat area whose sides measure only some 2 km, it is a good idea to take a stroll through it. There are two streets that serve the purpose of a promenade, ul. Chmielna, which is fully pedestrianized and ul. Nowy Åwiat , which is closed to traffic on summer weekends
If you start your walk from Metro Centrum this is a popular place where people arrange to meet one another, you can get to the other side of ul. MarszaÅkowska through the underpass. The round building adjacent to the intersection is called the Rotunda. It is a bank branch and the pavement in front of it is another popular meeting place. Going along the ul. MarszaÅkowska you'll pass some department stores and after 500 m or so, turn right into ul. Chmielna. At the end of it, turn left into ul. Nowy Åwiat and go straight ahead. This street, which then changes into Krakowskie PrzedmieÅcie, will lead you to Castle Square and the Old Town.
