How to get from the airport to the center of Krakow?
Balice Airport is located just 11 km from the city center of Krakow. How to get from the airport to the train station in Krakow or to the city center?
Cheapest - Public Bus Transportation
Buses go through the city center, so the travel time during peak hours is often significantly longer. For buses departing from the airport, we need an agglomeration ticket. Ticket price: regular single/60-minute ticket - 6 z艂. If we are traveling in a larger group, it will be cheaper to take a taxi - Uber or Bolt.
Line 209 - goes to the Salwator stop.
Line 300 - express line, goes to the Podwawelskie housing estate via Rondo Grunwaldzkie.
Line 902 - night line, goes to Dworzec G艂贸wny Wsch贸d (Main Train Station East).
Fastest - Krakow Airport Train - Krakow G艂贸wny or Wieliczka Rynek Kopalnia
The train operated by Koleje Ma艂opolskie runs from the airport through Krakow G艂贸wny station to Wieliczka Rynek Kopalnia station - some trains go to Krakow G艂贸wny, while others continue towards Wieliczka. The train is definitely the fastest option - the travel time from Krakow G艂贸wny to the airport is planned to be 17 minutes. The train ticket costs 17 z艂 (November 2022). Tickets can be purchased from the conductor or in the train's ticket machine (payment by card is possible). You can find the current train schedule on the Koleje Ma艂opolskie website.
Taxi, Uber, Bolt
This is definitely the most convenient option and can be cost-effective for larger groups (even cheaper than the train or bus). To order an Uber or Bolt, you need to install their application. Another cost-effective option is icartaxi, which can be ordered by phone. Krakow Airport Taxi is also available, but their prices are significantly higher.
