Tarnów is close to a number of major road routes in all directions and is worth considering as a place to stop off for a few hours or even for the night if you’re on a long journey. Only 80km from Kraków, it's an easy hour's drive between the two if you catch it at the right time, however traffic jams are increasingly common and unpredictable, meaning the journey could take anywhere between one and two hours. The main road (the E4 highway) from Kraków leads right to the market square and the most convenient place to park is ul. Bernardyńska, by making a right on ul. Targowa and then your next left on Bernardyńska. Parking must be paid Mon-Fri 08:00-18:00, Sat 08:00-15:00 (Sun free), with some complicated math dictating the price depending how long you will be there (for example: 1.70zł/1hr, 3.70zł/2hrs, 6zł/3hrs, 12zł/24hrs). Buy a ticket from the kiosk, cross off the proper time and from there the market square and tourist info office just one block to your north.
