The district's internationally known address is the Polish Aviation Museum at Aleja Jana Pawła II 39 - the largest aviation museum in Poland and one of the leading in Europe. The collection includes more than 200 aircraft (from pioneers of First World War aviation, through the famous PZL P.11c fighter, bombers, helicopters and Cold War-era MiGs) displayed both in hangars and outside on the wide runway of the former Rakowice-Czyżyny airfield. It is a weekend destination for families with children, aviation enthusiasts and organised groups.
Across Aleja Jana Pawła II, at number 41, operates M1 Kraków shopping mall with an Auchan hypermarket, a favourite shopping ground for the residents of Nowa Huta and Czyżyny. The AGH UWND campuses (Faculty of Computer Science, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatic Control, IT and Biomedical Engineering) gather thousands of technical students - from across Poland as well as from Ukraine, India and Vietnam. To the west, on Aleja Marszałka Piłsudskiego, stands Cracovia Stadium (Józef Piłsudski Stadium).
For visitors to the Polish Aviation Museum we drive up to the main entrance from Aleja Jana Pawła II; for M1 customers we use the car park with a lift directly into the gallery; for AGH students we drop off at the specific campus on Profesor Stanisław Łojasiewicz street. The chauffeur tracks the flight, 60 minutes of free waiting after landing are included. Fixed fare, no surcharges for traffic, night hours or luggage.
