Airport Transfers from Krakow
Krakow Airport (KRK, also known as Balice) sits just 11 km from the city centre, while Katowice Airport (KTW, also known as Pyrzowice) — a major hub for Ryanair and Wizz Air — is about 75 km away. Both are common entry points for visitors heading to Krakow, and neither has a fast, direct public transport link that beats a private car.
We run three private, door-to-door transfers covering both airports plus a direct route to Zakopane and the Tatras: fixed price per vehicle, real-time flight monitoring, and a driver waiting in arrivals with your name — pick the route below that matches your trip.
Which Airport Transfer Do You Need?
Krakow Airport to City Centre Private Transfer

Katowice Airport to Krakow Private Transfer
From €139 per vehicle. Covers the 75 km from Katowice Airport (KTW, Pyrzowice) — a common entry point for Ryanair and Wizz Air flights — usually 65 to 80 minutes via the A4 motorway.
Krakow Airport to Zakopane Private Transfer
From €179 per vehicle. A direct drive from Krakow Airport straight to Zakopane and the Tatras, skipping Krakow city centre entirely — usually around 2 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an airport transfer from Krakow cost?
Prices depend on the route: from €29 per vehicle for Krakow Airport (KRK) to the city centre, from €139 for Katowice Airport (KTW) to Krakow, and from €179 for Krakow Airport to Zakopane. Every price is fixed per vehicle, not per person — check the individual transfer page for live pricing on your date.
What's the difference between Krakow Airport (KRK) and Katowice Airport (KTW)?
Krakow Airport (KRK, also known as Balice) is Krakow's own airport, just 11 km from the city centre. Katowice Airport (KTW, also known as Pyrzowice) is about 75 km away in a neighbouring region, but is a major hub for Ryanair and Wizz Air, so many visitors flying to Krakow actually land there.
Which transfer should I book if I'm heading straight to Zakopane?
If you land at Krakow Airport and are heading to Zakopane or the Tatras without stopping in Krakow, book the Krakow Airport to Zakopane transfer directly — it skips the city centre entirely and saves you a separate leg.
Do you monitor flights for delays?
Yes, on all three transfers. Your driver tracks your flight in real time and adjusts your pickup time automatically if it's delayed, at no extra cost.
Is a private transfer better than a taxi or the bus?
For groups, luggage, or arrivals outside daytime hours, yes — a private transfer has a fixed price agreed in advance, a driver waiting in arrivals with your name, and no changes or queues. Buses and trains are cheaper but involve more walking, waiting, and — for Katowice Airport especially — at least one change.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your transfer on all three routes; after that, it's non-refundable.
How far in advance should I book?
At least 24 hours in advance is recommended to guarantee availability, though bookings are generally accepted up to 12 hours before pickup.
Do you offer transfers to other destinations besides these three?
Yes — beyond airport transfers, we also run private transfers to Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Wieliczka Salt Mine — see all our transfers here
Can I book the same transfer for both arrival and departure?
Yes — each of our transfers runs in both directions, so you can book your arrival and departure as two separate bookings on the same route.
