Balice airport is Krakow's airport. A free bus takes you from the airport to Balice train station and a train takes you from there to Krakow train station, very close to the Market square.

There are now lots of budget airlines selling cheap flights to Krakow.No thrills and limited maximum luggage weight means you can buy a return ticket for as little as 40 GBP.
