Arrival
Arriving to the venue via John Paul II International Airport Kraków–Balice (KRK), located around 15–20 km from the city centre:
- Train: the SKA1 airport train runs every 30 min to Kraków Główny (main station), taking around 20 minutes. From there, it’s about a 15-minute taxi/bus ride, or a 20–30 minute walk, to the hotel.
- Bus: line 300 runs from the airport to the “Jubilat” stop, which is a short walk from the Novotel/Ibis. Journey takes roughly 30 minutes total.
- Taxi/rideshare (Uber/Bolt): most convenient door-to-door option, roughly 25–30 minutes, typically PLN 90–120 by official airport taxi (rideshare apps are often cheaper).
Please note:
bus/train frequencies and prices are subject to change.
