Laura NisbetNovember 25, 2014Well run station right in the centre of Kraków. The station is next door to the grand Galeria Krakowska and the train takes you directly to the airport in around 15 mins!

Ioannis PapapetrouDecember 18, 2016Very clean train station and very easy to find the platform or exit..The trains are leaving exactly the departure time so be there!

Na YangOctober 12, 2013Get into the platform from the underground floor of the shopping mall. There is free WiFi zone , toilet and tickets machines near the connection. So you don't have to walk that cold corridor.:)Upvoted Jan 3
Tevfik Denizhan MüftüoğluSeptember 9, 2015I remember the very first day of myself here, total chaos, but this Poland, if you can't find your way at night, just go town center, very close, 24h live city, stay in a Mc donalds until day appears.
Don't wait in a ridiculously long queue, get your ticket from a machine (on some platforms and in other spots; przewozy regionalne company: regio trains) or online (intercity and tlk)!
When buying a ticket from IC ticket machines be aware that if seat(s) of the type you selected (window etc.) are not available the machine will just assign the first free seat without informing you.
EvaSeptember 7, 2014Brand new central train station. Lots of places to eat n drink, bookstore, grocery, information, cleaned restroom (2,5PLN) and many more shops. Free WiFi.
Natalia NifantovaJune 16, 2017Very european train station in the center of the not so european city :) WiFi, payments by card, many cafes and shops.- Na YangOctober 12, 2013If you buy the international train tickets , you d better buy it at least one day in advance. It is easily sold out.
Ticket machines are handy, but quite slow when searching for connections. And you don't get any promotional discounts, those can be only get in ticket booth. Reduced fare tickets are available.
Grazyna OOctober 13, 2014Spooky when you arrive. Look out the window from the train and it looks exactly like in the movies. Watch out for yourself and your belongings.
ᴄ1�7 StawinskiAugust 14, 2011by a train to Balice airport for just 10 zl (2,5 euro) you can get there in 20 minutes. you can enjoy drink at Old Market Square and in 10 minutes walk get om the train to the airport- If you need help because you don't speak Polish, ask (young) people around you to translate for you, staff never speaks English (or any other language than Polish, in fact) and random people do.
- Na YangOctober 12, 2013They don't print train information for you, just check the yellow posters in the wall! Including the platform, all the arrival time of each stop!
Lately renovated is a good start for exploring that fantastic City.
Asya BobkovaApril 30, 2015It takes time to find the exact train station. Still, the renewed building is great. Free wi-fi.- Jan A.July 15, 2012Don't queue for AirportExpress tickets in front of ticket boothes, there is a multi-lingual ticket vending machine accepting cash, credit cards & VPay cards on platform 1 from where the train leaves.
Agnieszka B.February 8, 2015This place is like a maze. No clear directions, no signs. I am Polish and I had problems with finding ticket desks at Polish station. You have to wander through shopping mall. Ridiculous!
- Very nice and modern new station opened 15.2.2014. Connected with Galeria Krakowska.
Spiros TheocharisApril 11, 2015Very nice station . A bit confusing for foreigners.advantage: the mall is adjacent to the station.
- If you've got any problems, just ask a young local. They'll surely help you.
Adam NowekApril 9, 2015The old station had so much more character. At least you can catch the hysterically cheap high-speed train to Warsaw from here.
Daniel ZenkerJanuary 6, 2014No ticket machines at all within the station building, instead and lot of them in the underpass at the entrance of the Galerie Krakowska. Just because.
Pascal SimoensMay 28, 2012If you want to go to the airport it's always platform 1 in front of the old ( and nice) railway station
Aglay PiovesanDecember 20, 2013There is no taxi available!! You must have a mobile to call one... otherwise, you can only hope someone helps you!
Be prepared to lose your nerves as customer service's standard here is very low and incompetence interwoven with malice is what you've got to deal with. Queues are also long, especially in rush hours.- Daniel ZenkerJanuary 6, 2014Maybe I was just lucky, but the lady at my counter for international tickets spoke reasonably good English
Big train station with massive shopping mall. Not sure if free wifi was working . Paid toilets .
New and clean but badly organized and signs often lead to nowhere.
Jonathan KhooDecember 31, 2012Watch out under the chandeliers in the waiting room because pigeons like to roost on them and umm, go to the bathroom.
Check the scheddule several times and do not be surprise if the train is late
kamilOctober 5, 2012do not try to buy a ticket on Friday. do it earlier so you'll save at least 30 min.
Nick PittoniDecember 31, 2011From platform D7 catch the bus to Oswieç and get to Auschwitz with the locals for only 10zly!
Filip PříhodaMarch 27, 2014If you need some coins for a locker box. Don't ask at cash desk, they are rude and refuse to help. But near toilets there's a changing machine - banknotes for coins.- Buying a ticket from staff on board is almost always possible but costs extra.
Zofia PolanskaMarch 16, 2013Main! Train! Station! Trains leaving for the airport every half hour or so most of the time.
