Getting to and from Krakow

By Air

Krakow is served by The John Paul II International Airport. The airport is located several miles west of town off of the A4 motorway. There is train, bus, and taxi service between the airport and Krakow city center. Schedules are available on the airport website. A number of major airlines provide service to Krakow, including Air France, Czech Airlines, and Lufthansa.

By Rail

Trains arrive and depart from the Krakow Glowny station, just a few blocks northeast of the Old Town. Direct international connections include Berlin, Hamburg, Kiev, Prague, Budapest, and Vienna. Connections to Warsaw and Wroclaw are also available from Krakow Glowny. Train schedules can be found on the Polish Railways website.

Please be aware that there have been intermittent reports of thieves on the overnight trains, so be extra vigilant, especially if you are traveling alone.

By Bus

The main bus station in Krakow is located right next to the Krakow Glowny train station. Tickets can be purchased at the bus station, from the driver, or online from one of several bus companies that operates here.

Note that at the time of writing, the shuttle bus to Wieliczka Salt Mines does not leave from Krakow Glowny, but rather from a stop right outside of the main post office a few blocks away.
