Parking

Collegium Maius and Collegium Novum

Both buildings are located in zone A of restricted car traffic, which makes it difficult to access the building directly by car. Public parking spots are available on Smoleńsk, Marszałka J. Piłsudskiego, Jabłonowskich or Kapucyńska. Please note that this is a paid parking zone (subzone A).

Auditorium Maximum and Didactic Cenre of the Faculty of Law and Administration

There is no public parking directly in front of the venues. You can park on the street (charged as for subzone A of the Paid Parking Zone). The nearest larger car park is at the National Museum. Parking spaces for people with disabilities are available around the building:

• one space in the underground garage - entry is possible from Krupnicza Street, between Collegium Paderevianum II and Auditorium Maximum. After descending to level minus one, the parking space for persons with disabilities is directly opposite. It is the first space on the right, opposite the lift. To access the building from this space, cross to the other side of the vehicle lane. There the door to the building is located straight ahead. Just behind it, further ahead, is the lift.
• two external parking spaces are located on the side of the Didactic Centre of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University at 33A Krupnicza Street, just after the exit from Krupnicza Street, on the right behind the barrier (these are common spaces with the Didactic Centre of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University),
• one parking space - also external - parallel to the pavement, between the Auditorium Maximum and the Mickiewicza 9A building (shared with the other buildings of the Paderevianum complex).
