KRAKOW BALICE AIRPORT · HOTEL TRANSFER
Krakow Airport (KRK) → Hotel Royal transfer
Private transfer from Krakow Airport to Hotel Royal beneath Wawel Castle. Fixed fare, flight tracking, 60 minutes of waiting and direct drop-off at sw. Gertrudy 26-29.
Hotel Royal on sw. Gertrudy 26-29 is a three-star historic property opened in 1898, located directly beneath Wawel Castle, a five-minute walk from Wawel Cathedral and eight minutes from the Main Market Square. The property offers 95 rooms in a neo-Gothic townhouse designed by Teodor Talowski, a restaurant and a location that has served visitors to the cathedral hill for over a century.
The transfer from Krakow Airport usually takes 20-40 minutes over about 13 km. The standard route uses the A4 motorway, then Krasinskiego Avenue and Podzamcze Street to the drop-off on the Dietlowskie Planty side.
After landing, your chauffeur meets you inside arrivals with a name board, assists with the luggage and walks you to the car. Sw. Gertrudy borders the Old Town zone A but the address itself sits outside the zone - drop-off at the hotel is direct, although the street is one-way.
Operationally this address is smooth: we end the ride at the hotel entrance and guests immediately have a view of the Wawel walls across the street.
