Which Krakow station should I use?

Journey time, direct trains and ticket prices
Compare the complete journey time and the number of changes for each departure. Timetables, engineering work and the selected service can affect the journey; a single advertised duration or starting fare will not apply to every date. Check the operator, total fare, seat reservation and ticket conditions before paying. The official Portal Pasażera timetable is another source for checking scheduled connections and station information.
Travelling from Krakow Airport
An arrival at Krakow Airport is a separate starting point from Kraków Główny. Plan the airport transfer and onward Zakopane departure together, allowing time for baggage collection and changing trains. Consult the Krakow Airport train guide and check whether your tickets cover separate legs.
Plan the return journey
For a day trip, check the last suitable return train before booking the outward journey and leave time to reach Zakopane station. Compare Zakopane to Krakow trains separately. Read the PKP Intercity ticket guide for help with train categories and booking conditions.
