Getting Around Krakow: Taxis, Uber, Trams and Night Buses

Quick links

Getting around Krakow is simple: the Old Town and Kazimierz are walkable, and for everything else there are trams, night buses and ride-hailing apps. Here is how a stag group gets from the airport, between bars and back to the hotel without overpaying.

Getting around Krakow – a taxi on the road in Krakow

Walking

Most of a stag weekend happens on foot. The Old Town is compact, and Kazimierz is about 15 minutes’ walk from the Main Square.

Trams and buses

Krakow has no metro, but trams and buses run from around 5:00 to 23:00. After that, night buses and a few night trams take over, less often. Tickets are time-based and valid on both trams and buses; validate the ticket when you get on, because inspectors fine passengers without a valid ticket.

Uber, Bolt and taxis

Uber and Bolt both work in Krakow and show the price before you book. Street taxis waiting near the Main Square and Wawel are known for charging tourists more, so use an app or a taxi company you know.

From the airport

Krakow Airport is about 11 km west of the city centre. The train to Kraków Główny takes about 20 minutes and runs until about 23:30. By car the trip takes 25–40 minutes, depending on traffic. For a group, a booked transfer means one driver waiting for everyone:
