06.04.2009Cheap Flights to Krakow

Steeped in history, and one of the few cities to emerge relatively unscathed from WW2 (though levelled and restored numerous times in the thousand years prior), Krakow undoubtedly has one of the most stunning architectural townscapes in Europe, with Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance influences everywhere apparent. And another thing you can be pretty sure of in Krakow is value for money: hotels, restaurants, bars and cafes are all surprisingly reasonable – and all charaterised by a charming ‘old world’ ambience, with a modern twist. And all within easy reach of a low cost flight!

 Krakow from Katowice Airport: cheap flights. 

You may also want to look into booking a flight to Katowice airport – the next biggest Polish airport after Krakow. Boasting some of the cheapest flights to Poland available and with good transfer links to Krakow, it’s not a bad option. Approximately 100 km west of Krakow, the A4 motorway connects the two cities, and the distance can be covered by car in just under 1.5 hours. Car hire and taxi pickups direct to your hotel can be pre-booked, and there’s a regular train and bus service to Krakow’s central station, Dworzec Glowny. It’s about a 90 minute journey by bus, and a ticket is reasonably priced at 20 PLN (just under 5). For the train, you’ll first need to take the 45 minute ride by shuttle bus to Katowice’s central railway station, and then the train journey itself takes just shy of 90 minutes – tickets very reasonable at 12 PLN (about £2.50). Here’s a list of UK cities with low cost flights to Katowice:

Finally, don’t be surprised if your polish counterparts clap and cheer on landing: the wonder of a 50 tonne metal bird descending from the skies has not yet escaped the Polish psyche (or sense of humour)! For a town with so much to offer, you’ll get more then you bargained for when you book your low cost flight to Krakow. For the cheapest flights – book long in advance!
