Excursion - Arcade Museum

At 14:30, a bus will be waiting for us by the side of the Faculty building (after leaving the building, turn right and walk about 100 m). There is no fixed program at the museum — you simply enjoy playing classic retro arcade machines. We will spend approximately 2 hours inside, but the tickets allow unlimited playtime.

After the visit, the bus will take us back to the Campus, with an additional stop in the Old City (approximate location). From there, you can visit Wawel Castle, take a walk around the historical center, or explore the Kazimierz district.

If anyone wishes to stay longer in the museum (or leave earlier), you can catch tram 22 from the nearby stop “Gałczyńskiego” (direction West). After 12 stops, you will reach “Stradom”, located between the Old City and Kazimierz. From there, you can switch to trams 18 or 52, which will take you directly to the Campus (stop “Norymberska”).
