Retro-Tram (Saturdays and Sundays in July and August) - line 'T'. Those trams were used in Warsaw a long time ago. The ticket inspector shouted the name of the stop out loud and the construction of the car enabled jumping on and off. The cars were manufactured in the '50s. The tram starts (and ends) its route on Narutowicz Square, from where it leaves every 30 min from noon until 6pm.
- Buses of lines 100 and 180. Do you want to see the greatest attractions in Warsaw in an express way? Then the line 100 is exactly what you need. The bus will take you for a 90 min return trip from Stare Miasto. It will pass Łazienki, a Jewish Cemetery and go around Praga district. Most obviously you can get off the bus any time you want. Normally the bus operates on Saturdays and Sundays, but from July to September it operates every day. Another scenic route from Łazienki to Powązki cemetery is covered by the 180 bus. It operates all year round. The tickets for lines 100 and 180 are the standard municipal transport tickets. The timetables of both lines can be found on the web: www.ztm.waw.pl.
