Krakow - Essential Information
Airport
John Paul II International Airport (Jana Pawla II Kraków-Balice) is the main airport serving Krakow. It is about 15 km from the city centre. A number of budget airlines run routes here. Winter travellers should be aware - frequent delays are common due to fog and ice. Once you arrive, you can catch a free shuttle bus from outside the terminal to link up with the train, Balice Express, line 142 that takes you to the city centre. It departs every 30 minutes, takes 15 minutes and costs 3.80 PLN. You can also jump in a taxi.
Public Transport
Catching a tram or a bus is probably the easiest way - aside from walking - to get around the city. Tickets cost 2.50 PLN for adults and about 1.25 PLN for children. You buy them from small kiosks, then jump on a bus and punch your ticket in one of the orange boxes. All journeys cost exactly the same, it doesn’t matter how far you go.

Taxi
A good money-saving tip for hailing cabs is to avoid getting a taxi from the taxi rank. If you phone for one it will cost you 30 percent less. Also, you can’t hail cabs if they are driving down the street, they will definitely ignore you.
