Local Transportation in Kraków
Good advice: install mobile application or visit a website www.jakdojade.pl – this app/site will guide through Krakow public communication lines, including GPS map How to get from Balice Airport to Krakow City Centre? The travel is cheap and quick as well. There are two good ways to do it.
1. TAXI (The most expensive way)
There are many taxis waiting for you in front of Balice Airport. Just choose one.
Trip should cost around 40-60 PLN (10-15 Euro). Prices per 1km are written on taxi’s windows. Cheap ones cost around 1,80PLN, while expensive ones cost around 2,20PLN. After 10 p.m. and on Sundays it might be slightly more expensive. You should always ask the driver of the approximate price of your trip. In some taxi’s you are allowed to pay with credit card – they are marked with credit card signs. However, event if such marker is present, you should always ask the driver first. Tips are not included. It is up to you if you decide to leave a tip for the driver (usually it is 10-20% of the price), but tipping taxi drivers is not a necessity and simply rounding price up to the nearest round number is also acceptable. Check more info here.

2. BUS (The cheapest way)
Some regular buses go from the Airport to the Krakow city center (No. 208, 292, 902). They stops next to the entrance to the Airport (just look to your right when leaving the terminal building). Travel cost is 4PLN, plus extra ticket(!) if your luggage is large. You can buy a ticket in a newspapers shop at the Terminal 1, in tickets machine, or from the bus driver while entering the bus (note that the driver is not going to have change for large denominations). Every ticket must be validated when the bus starts. If you buy the ticket from the driver, it costs 5PLN. You can pay for the ticket only with cash and Polish Zloty (not Euro).
