A week in Lodz - genuine taxi, trams, night safe?

Hi everyone

I'm coming to Lodz in September for a week and I just wanted to ask a few questions

1. How can i spot a genuine taxi, and not the rip off ones which I need to get into the centre

2. Is it safe to use the trams at night?

3. Is it safe to walk alone at night?

4. Would their be any recommendations to visit towns outside of Lodz(for sightseeing), but within close proximity to Lodz itself

5. Where am I able to buy a sim card upon arrival at the airport

Thanks In advance

Kindest Regards

Omar

anyone?

Thank you for the info

If you search under Lodz there's is plenty of information I have posted as I have been here working for the past 2 months and will be here until the end of the year now.

The taxi's and bus/trams are safe to use and pretty much like anywhere else.

19191. Number was changed few years ago.

The name of a company on top. Lodz airport isn't far from the centre anyway.


Yes


Yes, though the usual precautions are sensible.


No. There isn't much worth seeing in the surrounding area, but a trip to Warsaw might be a good idea.


At any newsagent or kiosk. They are labelled either 'Ruch', 'Kolporter' or (the best ones) 'Relay'. There is one at the airport, and the airport one is most likely to have an English speaker in.
