Staying in Grzegórzki: choosing a useful location

Use Hala Targowa and Rondo Grzegórzeckie to understand an accommodation listing here. The western streets put you closer to the Old Town, while addresses farther east can make tram access more important. Check whether your windows face a main road and follow the actual pedestrian route across larger junctions when comparing walking distances.
