Take the free bus from the airport to the railway platform about 500 metres from the airport and then catch the train into central Krakow.You can pick up a time table from the tourist information desk inside the airport. There are about three an hour.
You can also check the timetable on-line: www.rozklad.pkp.pl/bin/query.exe/en? You must type in "Balice" and "Krakow Glowny" in appropriate spaces.
Yes, this is the easiest way to get into central Krakow - buy your ticket from the conductor on the train - 4 zl and the journey time is 15 minutes.
It's actually quicker to walk the 500m if the bus is not there. Just turn right from the airport and follow the road around to the train stop. Should take less than 5 minutes.Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
