Walking
If you are in the city center (for example, near the Main Market Square), head west towards the Vistula River. You can take Grodzka Street and follow it until you reach the Vistula Boulevards. Once you are at the river, turn left and follow the path along the riverbank until you reach the bridge called 'Dębnicki Bridge'. Cross the bridge and continue straight until you enter the park area. Józef Piłsudski's Mound is located in the Zwierzyniec district, and you will see it on the hill in front of you as you approach from the park.
Public Transportation - Tram
From the city center, go to the nearest tram stop (for example, 'Teatr Bagatela' or 'Sukiennice'). Take Tram line 6 or 8 towards 'Salwator'. Get off at 'Salwator' stop. From there, walk towards the Vistula River, then head up the hill towards the mound. The walk should take about 15 minutes. The mound should be visible from the area.
Public Transportation - Bus
You can take Bus line 100 from the Main Railway Station (Dworzec Główny). Board the bus and get off at 'Piłsudskiego' stop. From there, head towards the park and follow the signs to the mound. It’s a short walk of about 10 minutes uphill.
