Belfast International Airport (BFS) is the sole departure point for flights to Krakow. The terminal handles all European departures from a single building. The Airport Express 300 bus connects central Belfast to the airport every 15 minutes during peak hours. Taxis and private cars usually reach the terminal from the city centre in 30 minutes. Terminal facilities remain open 24 hours a day.

Passengers receive two hours of free Wi-Fi, with various shops and restaurants available before boarding.

Kraków John Paul II International Airport (KRK) is located in the village of Balice, approximately 7 miles from the city centre. The quickest way into the city is the airport train, which runs directly to Kraków Main Railway Station in about 17 minutes.

City buses 208 and 252 also link the airport with Kraków, and bus 902 runs at night. Taxis wait outside the terminal building, with a journey of about 30 minutes to central Kraków depending on traffic.

Krakow’s historic centre is defined by Rynek Główny, one of Europe's largest medieval squares. The Cloth Hall stands at its centre, housing a Polish art museum and local market stalls. In winter, the square hosts the traditional Krakow Christmas Market. Wawel Royal Castle overlooks the Vistula River, containing a significant collection of art and period furniture. Planty Park encircles the old town, following the path of the original city walls. A short trip outside the city leads to the Wieliczka Salt Mine. This UNESCO site features chambers and chapels carved entirely from rock salt.

The city is highly walkable, with most major sites located within the central district. Krakow's Jewish Quarter, Kazimierz, is also within walking distance of the main square. These landmarks make the city a primary destination for cultural travel in Poland.
