The airport is in Balice, about 12km west of the city. To get to the apartment you can pick up a taxi at the taxi rank just outside the airport or alternatively we can pre-book one for you; the journey takes between 20-30 minutes. A cheaper option is to take one of the buses that run regularly from the airport to the city centre. Just ask someone on the bus to point out when you have reached the Barbican at Plac Matkejki where you need to get off. It is then a five minute walk around the Planty in a southerly direction until you reach a main road called Starowislna. Walk up Starowislna for a further 5 minutes until you reach the first intersection. This tree-lined avenue is Jozefa Dietla and the apartment is just over the road off the right-hand side of Starowislna.

A third possibility is to take the shuttle train which goes very regularly from the airport to the main railway station in Krakow, 'Rynek Glowny' (the second and final stop). From the station walk under the subway and then once you are at the Planty follow the instructions as for the bus stop.

The PKS bus terminal is situated next to Krakow Glowny train station; this is the main terminal for most international and domestic buses. The bus journey to London from Krakow takes approximately 27 hours. Buses run frequently to Zakopane, the famous mountain resort and winter sports capital; it takes approximately 2 hours by bus.
