f-s-p 832 Posted December 7, 2004 We stayed at the Europejski near the train station. Double room for 3 nights was around 90€, with good breakfast. Like the Krystal in Prague, Europejski is a relic from the 70's, but for the occasional speedway traveller who's more interested in the "after speedway" then the wallpapers in the room its the perfect place for the 4 hrs of sleep every night. Also practicly all the trams stop 100m from the hotel entrance and the main square is on a walking distance. Tip for anyone whos interested, check out "Jahrhundert-halle" in Wroclaw, and the park area surrounding it. They are a couple of miles southeast from the stadium, amazing site. No big surprise that we found it while trying to get to the stadium. I wont admit that we were lost... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hazzman 72 Posted December 7, 2004 Few questions Is it easy to get standing tickets on the day? How much did it cost you for the weekend in Wroclaw? Could I have responses off people who DIY made there way there and possibly who drive there. And who did use a tour company, how much was it and what company you travel with?

The stadium is all seated (benched in the main) but whether people sit down depends on how crazy the section you are in is). I'll give you an example of a weekend I had in Wroclaw in October (for the GP last year we went to Warsaw first and spent a day there then got the train down). Flew WizzAir from Luton on Friday morning to Katowice. Train from Katowice to Wroclaw around 3 hours. Cost of train £8 single first class. Cost of flight free, only tax and charges. Hotel in Wroclaw, £40 per room per night in Mercure Panorama, stayed 2 nights. Probably about 300 yards from main square in town and easy reach of all amenities. Right next to the hotel are tram stops taking you all over the city. So total cost for the weekend was (excluding expenses) around £65 for flight and hotel, £16 for train, say £10 return for bus to Katowice from Airport - I make that £91. Beer is generally around 6zl for 500ml (£1), cigarettes, just over 6zl (£1.05), food to eat out is excellently priced and you can eat very well for under £10 a head including drinks. I was lucky with the Wizzair flights that I got being so cheap, but certainly the Ryanair flights are excellently priced and fly direct into Wroclaw, so no need for the train from Katowice. I'm booked up at the total cost of £35 return from Stansted. It'll be interesting to see what price the travel companies come up with for this trip as it really can be done so cheaply (as can most of the GPs).

Rob B 1,256 Posted December 8, 2004 Yep we've always sorted our own trips for about the last 5 years, never costs us more than £100 each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rico 210 Posted December 9, 2004 Glad to hear that Rob. There was me thinking I was enjoying these cheap trips all by myself (cue song - Don't wanna be all by myself etc etc) Rico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J-D 22 Posted December 13, 2004 Got a good deal on the Holiday Inn by the railway station for the GP last year and must say very impressed. It was the best hotel breakfast i have ever had, which is saying something. The Radission seemed nice too and had a very nice bar area. If you book direct with them, they guarantee to be the cheapest. If i go this year will probably stay there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZKZ Kitten 0 Posted January 1, 2005 It`s a great fun to read about all these hotels in Wrocław As i know Wrocław very well and have to say it`s the one of most beautiful cities in Poland (for me personally) just after the Krakow (Cracow). P.S. Isnt the Ibis Hotel just next to Olympic Stadium? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BilaHora Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) All Wrocław's Olympic Stadium (stadion Olimpijski) is probably the only Olympic Stadium to stage the home internationals of two different countries (football). In 1928, when the stadium was opened, with the name of "Leerbeutel" (which, somewhat strangely, means "empty sack") , Wrocław was part of Germany (and known as Breslau). When Berlin was awarded the Olympics in 1936, Wrocław (Breslau) changed the stadium's name to Olympic Stadium in the hope of being allocated some of the events (Hitler dashed their hopes). However, the German national team did play international matches at the stadium, including a 1935 match against Poland. After World War II, Wrocław became part of Poland and has hosted many of Poland's international matches.

Stayed there last year as well - very nice hotel. Will we be seeing you there this year J-D ?? Rico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugwash 3,208 Posted February 4, 2005 Stayed there last year. This year we're staying at the HP Park Plaza, next to the river, very nice indeed but a bit further to walk to the square. 405 zloty / night, less 20% discount, for a "superior double room" inc breakfast. You can't beat Poland for value for money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
