Krakow Balice Airport, officially John Paul II International Airport (Krakow-Balice, code KRK), sits around 11 km west of the Old Town. Our private transfer from Krakow Airport to the city centre is the easy way in: your driver tracks your flight, waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign and takes you straight to your hotel or address. With an airport transfer to Krakow Old Town the price is fixed per vehicle and agreed up front, so a queue at the taxi rank or a late landing never changes what you pay.

How much is a private transfer from Krakow Airport to the city centre?

200 PLN for a car with up to 3 passengers, 250 PLN for a van with 4 to 8. That is the price of the whole vehicle, agreed before you book, and it stays the same at night, in heavy traffic and when your plane is late.

Nothing is added at the end: no charge for waiting, for a delayed flight or for an early landing. You pay the driver when you arrive, in cash (PLN or EUR) or by card, and no deposit is needed to book.

How long is the transfer from Krakow Airport to the Old Town?

Usually 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Kraków Airport (Balice, code KRK) lies about 11 km west of the centre, and the driver takes you to the door of your hotel or apartment in the Old Town, Kazimierz or elsewhere in central Krakow.

Where does the driver meet you at Krakow Airport?

In the arrivals hall, on level 0 of the passenger terminal, with a sign showing your name. On a flight from a Schengen country you go straight into the baggage reclaim area; from outside the Schengen area you go through passport control first. Skis and pushchairs come out at the oversized baggage desk near the lost luggage offices.

Travelling with a small child? Child seats are available: mention it when you book and the driver brings one.

What if your flight to Krakow is delayed or lands early?

We track your flight, so the driver knows about a delay and waits for you, at no extra cost. If you land ahead of schedule, the driver adjusts to the earlier time and the price does not change. Transfers run 24/7, so a landing after midnight is no problem.

Private transfer or train from Krakow Airport to the city?

The SKA1 airport train reaches Kraków Główny, the main station beside the Old Town, in 17 minutes, and it is the cheaper choice if your hotel is close to the station. A transfer is the better fit when:

  • you land at night: in the timetable valid until 12 December 2026 the last two trains leave at 00:07 and 00:57 and the next one at 04:17, so for over three hours there is no train;
  • you travel with children and want to go straight to the door;
  • you are a group of 4 to 8 and share one van at a single price.

Krakow Airport to Zakopane and other transfers

Heading straight to the mountains? The driver can meet you in the arrivals hall and drive you straight to Zakopane; the fixed price for this route is agreed before you book. From Krakow itself, the private transfer to Zakopane costs 700 PLN per car, and a transfer to Energylandia, the amusement park in Zator, costs 450 PLN per car.

What our clients say

Real Google reviews about YourKrakow

Memory Trail

A great experience and an amazing guide. We toured the ghetto, the Jewish quarter and Schindler's factory. The explanations were professional, and he also took us to places that ordinary tourists never reach.

Yair Kfir Google review Translated from Hebrew
Kazimierz

An amazing tour! They recommended the best route around Kazimierz and we were not disappointed. The guides speak fluent English and share details of Krakow's history that a tourist would never notice alone. We recommend them!

Майя Полянская Google review Translated from Russian

We had a golf cart tour with our guide Pablo. He told us a great deal and showed us everything. It was really TOP!

Mendy Heinsius Google review Translated from Dutch

I really enjoyed the tour of Krakow. Everything happened completely spontaneously: Paweł picked me up right from the airport and it turned out to be a great idea. He was very attentive, explained everything clearly and in an interesting way, and showed me many beautiful places. Thanks to this trip I discovered Krakow from a completely different perspective. I highly recommend Paweł!

We were looking for something to do during a company team trip for more than a dozen people and found YourKrakow. Honestly, with that many participants I expected a bit of chaos, but the organisation was genuinely smooth. We had several carts, split into groups and explored Kraków along different routes. At the end we all met up at Wawel. A great way to see the city, especially with a bigger group. Many of us called it the best part of the whole trip.

Bartłomiej Paluch Google review Translated from Polish

Great experience! We got to see a large number of buildings and learn a lot about the history of this beautiful city. I recommend it.

MOo withlove Google review Translated from French

Great experience overall. The tour was a really convenient way to see a lot of Krakow in a short amount of time without having to walk everywhere. The driver was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting facts about the city along the way. The vehicle was comfortable, and the whole experience felt relaxed and well organized. I got to see places I probably would have missed on my own. Definitely worth it if you're visiting Krakow and want a good introduction to the city.

Kazimierz

I recommend this tour with all my heart! Seeing the Jewish quarter was fascinating and helped us understand the history and the special character of the place. The route was well planned and the whole ride had a lovely atmosphere. Our driver deserves a special mention: very professional, kind, polite and helpful. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour even more interesting. Warmly recommended, it really is worth it!

Vitalina Petr. Google review Translated from Polish

We highly recommend this electric golf cart tour of Kraków! We booked it for a hen party and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. The ride was enjoyable from start to finish and let us see some of the most beautiful landmarks in the city and learn plenty about Kraków. Everything was well organised and our driver was friendly, professional and very accommodating to our cheerful group. A great way to add something special to the evening while seeing the city in comfort.

Pawol is absolutely fantastic. Could not have booked a better tour guide. Super friendly, english brilliant. Could not recommend enough. We did 2 zones on a city tour, the Salt Mines and Pawol was our personal guide for the Memorial and Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau. Thank you for making our honeymoon so special.

Kazimierz

This was a perfect idea for an afternoon! Our guide Paweł knew a huge amount about the history and the landmarks of the Jewish quarter, and on top of that he is a friendly person who happily answers every question. We had a really lovely time. Highly recommended.

Paulina Łaciak Google review Translated from Polish

The tour was very interesting. Our guide was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and happy for us to ask questions and find out more about Krakow. And happy for us to stop and see sites along the way. Well worth the money!

Kazimierz

I recommend them with a clear conscience. The guides in Kazimierz took great care of us and showed us really nice places. We happened to get Mr Wiesio as our guide. A great guy. He showed us some fascinating, historic spots on the map of the Jewish quarter. We will definitely come back to them the next time we are in Kraków. We went as a whole family.

Paweł Kucharski Google review Translated from Polish

We had a fantastic experience with YourKrakow. Our guide, Paweł, was exceptional! Very professional, perfectly on schedule and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the tour. Paweł has a genuinely warm personality: patient, welcoming and always smiling. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great guide!

Amazing tour with Pawel! He showed us very special places and took time to show us and let us understand about Krakow and its history. 100% recommend!

Highly recommended, and Paweł in particular: a man with a passion for history and remarkably knowledgeable. We will certainly book again as soon as we are back in Kraków!

Karol Maćkowski Google review Translated from Polish

It really was a fantastic tour, and Paweł proved with his knowledge that he is the right man in the right place. Highly recommended.

Paweł Bednarek Google review Translated from Polish
