About Renting a Car at Wrocław Center

Wrocław is Lower Silesia's capital and one of Poland's most dynamic cities, with a fantastic medieval Market Square (Rynek) and 112 islands connected by over 300 bridges. Eight car rental companies in the downtown provide good opportunities to explore the region. Wrocław is located approximately 340 km to the southwest of Warsaw and 270 km to the northeast of Prague.

From Wrocław's downtown, it's approximately 70 km to Wałbrzych and Książ Castle, 90 km to the Kłodzko Valley and approximately 180 km to the Czech border town of Liberec. Wrocław Copernicus Airport (WRO) is located just 10 km to the west of downtown. Park your rental car at one of the large parking garages at Galeria Dominikańska or Arkady Wrocławskie and explore downtown on foot.

Wrocław's street network can be confusing with all the islands and bridges - download an offline map before you set out. Plan a visit to Centennial Hall (Hala Stulecia), a UNESCO World Heritage site approximately 3 km to the east of Rynek. How long does it take to drive from Wrocław to Kraków?

Approximately 270 km via the A4 motorway, approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes. Motorway toll applies. Where are the car rental companies located in downtown Wrocław?
