Your plane lands in Katowice and you want to go to Krakow? A bus shuttle allows you to reach Krakow for about 15€ in less than 2 hours, but other means of transport exist.
Several low-cost companies, as in the case of Wizzair from France , offer flights to Katowice airport as an alternative to Krakow. This usually saves a few euros welcome on the plane ticket, but keep in mind that the airport Katowice is located 100 kilometers from the city Krakow . There is no train station near the airport, and it takes about 1h30 by bus or taxi to Krakow. To help you organize your arrival, we give you the best options to get from Katowice Airport to Krakow.
Book your transfer from Katowice Airport to Krakow
Bus transfer from Katowice Airport to Krakow
If you are travelling to Krakow and booked an online ticket on the WizzAir company website, you have probably already made a reservation for the shuttle service between Katowice and Krakow airport.
Bus schedules are coordinated with those of the WizzAir flights, so that when you have recovered your suitcase on arrival and you will exit the terminal, your bus will wait outside.
Two separate operators operate transfers to Krakow: Kraków Pyrzowice Express (+48 603 966 598, pyrzowiceekspres.pl ), which cooperates directly with WizzAir and Matuszek Airport Bus Service (+48 32 236 11 11, matuszek.com.pl ), which offers the same service independently but for a little less expensive. Pyrzowice is the name of Katowice Airport.
If you do not make the reservation (about 60 PLN or 13,70€) on the WizzAir site when booking your flight, you can do so directly with one of the two companies for only 44 PLN (Przychowice Express) or 43 PLN (Matuszek). You can also buy your ticket in cash from the driver (50 PLN for both companies) if there is room left, but we recommend you book a seat in advance, to avoid any bad surprise.
The two services will take you to the main bus station in Krakow about 1h30 to 2h later, where you can take public transport or take a short walk to the old city depending on where is your hotel .
Katowice train transfer to Krakow
The Matuszek bus company also offers buses to the Katowice train station (see 35 min). From this train station you will find trains for 35-42 PLN to Krakow (1h30 approximately). This is not the most convenient, fastest solution and it is no more economical than the bus directly from Katowice Airport to Krakow.
Transfer by Taxi from Katowice Airport to Krakow
If you don’t want to take the bus and want to take a taxi from Katowice Airport to Krakow, you can find it on site. However, you will not have the certainty that the driver speaks English, or that he wants to travel Katowice-Cracovie. It is best to book in advance a taxi ( for 92€ you can have a private transfer for 4 people ).
If you are a group of 5 to 8 travellers, it may also be interesting to book a minibus that will take you on arrival in Katowice. This will cost you 118€ , less than 15€ per person.
