Plan a pilgrimagePoland · YOUR QUESTION, ANSWERED
The Divine Mercy Sanctuary at ul. Siostry Faustyny 3 in Kraków-Łagiewniki is about 5 km south of the Old Town, about 25 minutes by tram along ulica Zakopiańska to the Łagiewniki stops plus a 10-minute walk, or by SKA train from Kraków Główny to Kraków Łagiewniki station, 10 to 15 minutes on foot from the basilica. Stop names changed after 2022 track works, so confirm the current line and stop in the MPK journey planner.
A standard MPK (KMK) ticket covers tram or bus: the 60-minute ticket (8 PLN full fare) is enough for the one-way journey and the 24-hour zone 1 ticket (20 PLN) suits a full day; buy from machines at stops or the mKKM app and validate on boarding.
The John Paul II Centre (Sanctuary of St. John Paul II, ul. Totus Tuus 32, open daily 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.) is a 10-minute walk from the Divine Mercy basilica, so both fit one half day around the 3:00 p.m. Hour of Mercy.
