Katowice Going from Krakow to Katowice Airport
Posted: Fri July 21, 2006 07:26 PM UTC
Hello. I need to get to the Katowice airport next Saturday and I would like to know the best way.
Would be good to go by train to Katowice and then to take a bus?
What is the main railway station in Katowice? There are many stations as I see in http://rozklad.pkp.pl/bin/query.exe/en?
How much would cost a taxi from the airport to the train station??

Thank you so much, I am lost...

Thank you so much.
I was thinking in taking that bus to go out from the airport because I´m going there for a friend. But to get there I need a cheaper way. How can I find the buses that goes to the airport (the cheapest ones)? Is better to get to Katowice by bus or by train?

The MATUSZEK bus costs 44 ZL one way and 75 return. The site I gave gives the location of the departure point in Krakow. It goes direct to the Airport, taking 2 hr.
The train: Krakow Glowny- Katowice Glowny costs 12 ZL one way (there may be a reduced rate) and takes 1:30 hr. Then the MPL bus from the Katowice train station to the airport costs 20 ZL, one way, and 28 ZL, one day ticket. It takes 40 min; thus depending on the connection time, this combination is cheaper but takes about one half hour longer.
I don't know the price or travel times of the buses Krakow-Katowice, but here are the timetables:
PKS: http://www.rda.krakow.pl/odjazdy.php?id=k
Probably these buses are a bit cheaper, but take longer than the train. The Katowice PKS bus station is 500m north of the train station.
