Help Getting From Katowice To Krakow

Dave, The best option is the bus transfer. While the buses are "officially" only for Wizz flights, I've taken it flying on a different airline and had no problem. There really shouldn't be that long of a wait - have you tried reserving a seat on their website?

Also, the Katowice train station is not as dangerous as everyone makes it out to be - honestly, it's just dirty and smelly and not a very pleasant place, but aside from maybe during the middle of the night, it's as safe as any city train station.

Thanks for your response. Ive just doubled checked the wizz air transfers and its actually 2 hrs after my flight. Im arriving tuesday and leaving thursday so would rather not waste 2 hrs in the airport, Im wondering how far into my journey I would be if I took public transport as opposed to waitng the 2 hrs for the bus. Is there anybody that can give some specifics on the bus to get from katowice airport to the rail station as I think this is the option I'll be choosing unless it will take signifigantly longer than waiting on the wizz bus.

hei! the best way is to take a mini bus direct to Cracow. Taxis is awfully expensive. Bus to katowice is very expensive too and takes 1h + train 2hours, so for the cost and the time spend in transport, it is not worth it at all i think. the best is the mini bus,waiting 2 hours will be the same or less than bus+train option in my opinion. you may try this website of Carpolonia as well, http://www.wizz-bus.com/ , they are an alternative to wizzair bus, and cheaper i guess!it takes 1h30 and this is what i am using when going from Cracow to katowice airport. Hope I could help! enjoy your tsay in beautiful Krakow! take a jacket, it is chilly lately here!

Try Zibi, caravelle67@gmail.com He is a taxi driver I always use during my frequent visits to Krakow. He is very reliable, helpful and a genuinely honest person. If you email him he will reply with a quote for the job. I am not on commission of any sort but have used various forms of transport in Krakow over the years and have had varying experiences in getting to and from airports, salt-mine, Auschwitz etc. Have a great time in Krakow.

Dave. What date do you arrive?

Why dont you share a minibus with other people who are going to krakow, i did it last year it worked out a hell of a lot cheaper, just ask people outside the airport terminal if they are willing to share the cost of a minibus to krakow, im sure you will get lots of takers.

Hi I arrive Tue 10th November. I dont mind sharing a minibus with other travellers but I would prefer to have something pre-booked, as Im only going for 3 days. Dave
