Free WiFi in Nowa Huta
Nowa Huta, the planned socialist-realist district built in the 1950s, sits about 8 km east of the Old Town. Hotspot density is lower here than in the centre, but the few that exist are placed on the most important plazas — and getting online for half an hour is enough to navigate the whole district.

Plac Centralny is the heart
The whole district was designed to radiate from Plac Centralny (officially named after Ronald Reagan, but everyone still calls it Plac Centralny). The hotspot covers the entire plaza. Stand in the middle, look down each of the five avenues, and you'll understand the urban plan immediately.
Aleja Róż
The pedestrian boulevard running north from Plac Centralny. There is a hotspot at the southern end. This is also where the famous statue of Lenin used to stand until 1989.
Getting around without WiFi
Once you walk away from Plac Centralny, you'll be relying on offline maps until you reach a tram stop. Download the Nowa Huta tile in Google Maps before you leave the centre, and screenshot the locations of the steel mill admin building, the Lord's Ark church and the Cyprian Bazylik square if you want to see them all.
How to get there
Tram lines 4, 10, 14, 16 and 22 reach Plac Centralny from the centre in 25-30 minutes. A single 20-minute MPK ticket (4 zł) does it. See our MPK guide for the ticket details.
