Q: How do I get from Kraków airport to Kraków Główny?

SKA1 train: PLN 40 for one traveler, 17 min. It leaves you at 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. This is the one place the train earns its PLN 20: 17 minutes from the platform behind the car park to the platforms under the station, every 30 minutes, 04:17 to 01:47. Bus 300 does not come here; it ends across the Old Town at Os. Podwawelskie. Between 01:47 and 04:17 the 902 night bus runs to Dworzec Główny Wschód, on the station's east side, in 35 minutes for PLN 6.
