is to take a taxi or bus #175. With the same bus it is also possible to go further to the Old Town, however be aware that line #175 is the favourite line
of pick-pockets as well as the ticket control service. With little extra charge, it is possible to buy the tickes from the bus driver. You will probably need another ticket
for the luggage. The tickets must be validated in the bus. or Polski Express bus
and afterwards to take another bus or train. There are also a few direct trains from Warsaw to Zakopane.
