Getting There<\/h4>\n

Krakow’s main airport (KRK) is not far from the center and is the easiest way to arrive in the city. There is a train running from the airport to the main train station (Krakow Glowny), which takes about 20 minutes and departs every 30 minutes. It is cheap as it costs 9 zl each way (currently just over $2) and it is very easy to use. Alternatively, take a taxi from the airport straight to your accommodations.<\/p>\n

Getting Around<\/h4>\n

Krakow is a very walkable city making it easy to get around and explore. Taxis are easy to get and relatively cheap for longer trips or if you are not up for walking.<\/p>\n

Accommodations<\/h4>\n

Try to stay near the main square (Rynek Glowney) to establish a prime location and enable easy access to explore the city. The accommodations are very affordable overall.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1878″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

It is a very informative and moving experience.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
