Transport in Cracow
There is no metro in Cracow, but a very efficient network of busses and tramways.
How to get from John Paul II Airport at Balice to Hilton Garden Inn
The so-called "Airport Taxi" (just outside the arrival lounge) is the
quickest way to reach the Hilton Garden Inn. It takes 25 minutes and costs
89 PLN.
Otherwise, get bus no. 292. The airport stop is on your right when you
leave the arrival lounge, very close to the trees (don't confuse bus no.
292 with the so-called "Airport Shuttle Bus" that doesn't go to Cracow).
The ticket costs 4 PLN. There is a machine at the bus stop.
To go to Hilton Garden Inn, stop at Cracovia.
Then walk back for a short distance in the direction of Kijów.Centrum (on
Al. Krasińskiego) and take one of the following busses:
144, 164, 304, 173.
When you take one of those busses, Kijów.Centrum must be on your right
(otherwise it means that you're heading the wrong direction).
Then stop at Osiedle Podwawelskie.
