As with the flight departure, we landed punctually at Krakow airport and in this case unlike other trips, in which Go from the airport to Krakow, would happen to take the public transport, being so late, we decided to book a transfer from the airport to private Krakow, in order to arrive earlier to the hotel and be able to rest to start tomorrow morning to get to know the city.
The total price of this transfer service from the airport to Krakow is 22 euros per car (+ -94PLN), not per person and lasts approximately 20 minutes.
