Local Tips

  • Bolt is far more affordable than taxis here — use the app for all rides.
  • Train 'Balice Ekspres' connects KRK to Kraków Główny in 17 min — fastest reliable option.
  • Bolt and Uber both work at KRK — Bolt usually more affordable. Pickup at the designated zone outside arrivals.
  • Surge spikes during major Wawel Castle / Auschwitz tour days and football matches.
  • Polish airport taxis at KRK are metered — refuse anyone offering a flat 'tourist price' from the curb.
