## Considering your ski holiday: Kraków to Zakopane & beyond

![Considering your ski holiday_ Kraków to Zakopane & beyond.jpg](https://devcms.hoppa.com/uploads/Considering_your_ski_holiday_Krakow_to_Zakopane_and_beyond_42a3c1b02a.jpg)

If your final destination is the majestic **Tatra Mountains**, your Kraków Airport transfer becomes your important first leg of a Polish [ski holiday](https://www.hoppa.com/en/discover/ski/best-time-to-go-skiing). The region has amazing resorts like **Zakopane**, **Białka Tatrzańska**, and **Bukowina Tatrzańska**.

Booking a private transfer is strongly advised for these longer routes, as it guarantees dedicated space for your ski equipment.

### Why is a private transfer for your ski trip essential?

* **Luggage and ski equipment:** Dedicated vehicle space ensures your skis, poles, and bulky winter luggage are transported safely and conveniently.
* **Comfort after a flight:** The journey to Zakopane is around 2 to 3 hours. A clean, comfortable, private car with climate control is invaluable.
* **Safety and experience:** Our local partners often use vehicles fitted with special winter tyres and have extensive experience navigating mountain roads to provide the best possible grip and safety in snowy conditions.

## Private transfer vs. shared shuttle: How to decide?

![Private transfer vs. shared shuttle_ How to decide.jpg](https://devcms.hoppa.com/uploads/Private_transfer_vs_shared_shuttle_How_to_decide_b5b2f4c9e9.jpg)

For travellers searching for the best transfer from Kraków Airport to the City Centre, the choice between a **private car** and a **shared shuttle** is a choice between speed and budget.

### Private car transfers

A **private transfer** offers an **exclusive, non-stop service** directly to your final destination, often taking just 30-40 minutes to the City Centre. This is the ideal option if you are looking for a private transfer from Kraków Airport to the City Centre, or a taxi from Kraków Airport to Old Town.

<u>**Good to know</u>:**

* **No stops:** Enjoy a direct, non-stop journey, meaning a highly predictable travel time.
* **Personalised service:** Your English-speaking driver will meet you in the arrivals hall, assisting with your luggage and driving straight to your hotel door.

### Shared shuttle transfers

A **shared shuttle** is the most **budget-friendly option** and is the most economical way to travel if speed is not your absolute priority.

<u>**Good to know</u>:**

* **Cheapest option:** This is the best value for solo travellers or couples, as the cost is shared among multiple passengers.
* **Possible delays:** Expect a short waiting period (up to 45 minutes) for other passengers at the airport and multiple drop-offs along the route.

## Best airport transfer option for your group size

![Best airport transfer option for your group size.jpg](https://devcms.hoppa.com/uploads/Best_airport_transfer_option_for_your_group_size_3b7f09ec8f.jpg)

To make sure the most comfortable and efficient start to your Polish trip, the vehicle you choose should be perfectly suited to the size of your party and the amount of luggage you have.

## Can I add special requests or extras to my booking?

![Can I add special requests or extras to my booking.jpg](https://devcms.hoppa.com/uploads/Can_I_add_special_requests_or_extras_to_my_booking_5ced3c4ac8.jpg)

You can easily customise your Kraków transfer to perfectly meet your needs.

When booking your transfer, you will have the option to add several [available extras and add-ons](https://www.hoppa.com/en/vehicleextras) to your reservation. These often include:

* **Child seats** and **booster seats** for younger travellers.
* Requesting **space for excess luggage**, **sports equipment** (like skis for your Zakopane transfer), or **bulky items**.
* Specific vehicle requests are available, such as **wheelchair adapted vehicles**.

## Kraków's fixed-fare airport taxi vs. hoppa pre-booking

![Kraków's fixed-fare airport taxi vs. hoppa pre-booking.jpg](https://devcms.hoppa.com/uploads/Krakow_s_fixed_fare_airport_taxi_vs_hoppa_pre_booking_795d05867b.jpg)

One of the many questions you may have when preparing for your trip is, *"How much is a taxi from Kraków airport to the old town?"* to compare costs. It is important to note the difference:

[**Official Kraków Airport Taxis**](https://krktaxi.pl/) **(Kraków Airport Taxi)** operate on a fixed-fare zone system from the airport. 

* The **distance to the Old Town** (which falls into Zone 5 or 6, approximately 12-19 km from the airport) will cost approximately **109 PLN to 129 PLN (roughly £22–£27).**  
* Prices are fixed and independent of the duration of the journey, the time of day, or the day of the week.  
* **Please note:** The fee for 1 hour of parking is 35.00 PLN. Other journeys beyond Zone 8 (27.0 km) or those requiring multiple stops are carried out according to the taximeter, or after prior arrangement of travel costs with the driver, not exceeding 8.00 PLN per 1 kilometre.

**The [hoppa](https://www.hoppa.com/en) advantage:** While the official airport taxi offers a fixed local currency price, hoppa offers a **guaranteed, pre-paid price**. 

* **Provides budget certainty** from the moment you book, protecting you from fluctuating exchange rates and ensuring a smooth and safe **door-to-door service**.

## Alternative transport: Train & onward private transfer

![Alternative transport_ Train & onward private transfer.jpg](https://devcms.hoppa.com/uploads/Alternative_transport_Train_and_onward_private_transfer_9f827cae90.jpg)

The **Kraków Airport train (SKA1 line)** is undeniably the fastest public transport option from KRK to the City Centre, with a journey time of only **17-20 minutes** to Kraków Główny (Main Station). A single ticket is also very cheap, typically costing around **10–13 PLN** (approx. £2–£3).

However, the train drops you at the Main Station, not directly at your hotel or apartment, which is often a 10-15 minute walk or further taxi ride away from the Old Town. 

To make sure all legs of your trip are booked and ready, eliminate last-minute queues and stress by doing the following:

* **Book your train ticket** from KRK to Kraków Główny upon arrival or in advance.
* **Book your onward private transfer** from Kraków Główny to your hotel via the [hoppa website](https://www.hoppa.com/en) or the [hoppa app](https://www.hoppa.com/en/download-app).

You can get the speed of the train and the seamless, guaranteed door-to-door comfort of a pre-booked private transfer for the final leg with this combination.
