Where each one leaves you

regional · Koleje MałopolskieSKA1 train

From: Kraków Lotnisko station, behind the multi-storey car park P1 and joined to the terminal by a covered footbridge
To: Kraków Główny in 17 minutes — Kraków Bronowice in 10 and Kraków Łobzów in 13 for the west of the city — then on across the river to Grzegórzki, Zabłocie and Płaszów, and to Wieliczka
Luggage: Free — "przewóz bagażu: bezpłatnie" on the airport's page. A dog is PLN 3.
Runs: 04:17–01:47
Journey: 17 min

The joint 70-MINUTE ticket is not valid here. It covers the train at every station named Kraków "z wyłączeniem Kraków Lotnisko" — the airport is the one exclusion. Only the PLN 20 airport fare boards this train at this station.

The PLN 20 is an airport-only price. Every fare table in KMŁ's tariff says it does not apply to Kraków Lotnisko; the same distance elsewhere on the line is PLN 7.50.

Bus 300 from the forecourt is PLN 6 and, by the authority's stop coordinates, drops you nearer the Rynek than this train does. The train is the right answer for Kraków Główny itself and for anywhere on the line beyond it.

No train between 01:47 and 04:17. Night bus 902 covers those hours at 02:16, 03:16 and 03:51.

The last half-hourly train is 22:17; after that the intervals are 60, 50, 50 and 50 minutes.

bus · Komunikacja Miejska w Krakowie (ZTP), operated by MPKNight bus 902

From: Stop "Kraków Airport" by the passenger terminal, the same stop as the 300
To: Muzeum Narodowe in 24 minutes, Stary Kleparz in 30, Teatr Słowackiego on the north edge of the Old Town in 32, Dworzec Główny Zachód in 33 and Dworzec Główny Wschód, beside the main station, in 35
Luggage: Free; a city bus with no hold.
Runs: 23:21–04:51
Journey: 24–35 min

It is the only public transport between the last train at 01:47 and the first at 04:17, and it runs hourly then: 02:16, 03:16, 03:51. Landing at 02:30 means a 46-minute wait.

The on-bus machine takes cards only; the machine in the arrivals hall takes cash.

Since 6 June 2026 it runs a diverted route through the center for the Teatr Bagatela junction works; the stops and times here are the diverted ones.

It is the one bus from the airport that reaches the main station.
