The Krakow Festival Office is considering changing the name of a popular Krakow tram/bus stop. The head of the Krakow Festival Office is considering altering the name of the “Centrum Kongresowe” stops to “Centrum Kongresowe ICE Kraków” to make it easier of those going to events at ICE to find their stop.
