Travel and transportation

Kraków lies in the region of Małopolska, in southern Poland. It can be easily reached by air, rail and bus. 

By plane 

Kraków Airport is 7 miles (~12 km) from the city and offers direct flights from select cities. For more information on the travel possibilities from the airport, see the airport website: www.krakowairport.pl/en/. 

By train 

Kraków has direct railway links with a number of cities, not only local, but also international, including Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Lviv and many more. For more information on timetables and fares, see the Polish railways website: rozklad-pkp.pl/en. 

By car 

For tips concerning travelling by car, see the Kraków Travel website: krakow.travel/en. 

With limited parking and much of the Old Town being a car-free zone, driving in Kraków will be more of a hindrance than a help. What’s more, most tourist attractions are in the Old Town or within easy walking distance, so you won’t need a car, buses or trams unless you’re staying outside the center.
