About this route

Route overview

The PRG → KRK route is the shortest overland Prague to Poland connection — a private vehicle exclusively for your group, no shared shuttle. 530 km across Upper Silesia and Moravia, past Ostrava and Olomouc — 6 h - 6 h 30 min off-peak. The route cuts through the heart of Moravia: past the Znojmo wine country south of Brno and the wooded Drahany Highlands. With enough time margin, a stop in Olomouc or Ostrava is possible at no extra charge, agreed with the driver at booking. Krakow Balice serves LOT flights to Frankfurt and Munich (with Lufthansa onward to the US and Asia) and is a Wizz Air and Ryanair base for routes across Europe. Who chooses this transfer: guests arriving into Prague on a long-haul flight from Asia, the Middle East or the Americas who want to reach Krakow without a second flight connection; business delegations with luggage; and touring groups combining Prague, Auschwitz and Krakow in a single day. The driver waits at the PRG arrivals hall with a name board, tracks the flight live — 60 minutes of free waiting is included. The fixed rate covers the exclusive vehicle and chauffeur, fuel, Czech and Polish motorway vignettes and has no hidden charges.

Transfer Krakow Balice (KRK) → Prague Václav Havel (PRG) | VIP Transfers

A private transfer from Krakow Balice to Prague means one car reserved exclusively for you — door to door, no changes, no sharing with strangers. 530 km through Upper Silesia and Moravia: towards the Polish-Czech border near Ostrava, then past Olomouc and onto the Prague ring road. Standard journey time is 5 h 45 min - 6 h 30 min off-peak; the border crossing is usually queue-free. Along the way, if you wish, we can plan a coffee stop or a short lunch break in Olomouc — this is a journey, not a race. The route is a natural fit for long-haul passengers connecting through Prague hub (Delta to New York JFK, Korean Air to Seoul Incheon, Emirates to Dubai) and for business travellers moving between Malopolska and the Czech Republic. It is also a practical choice for conference delegations with luggage who want a single departure time set around their schedule. The service runs 24/7 with live flight monitoring and 60 minutes of free waiting included. We deliver to the correct terminal: T1 for non-Schengen and long-haul flights, T2 for Schengen. For long-haul departures we recommend a 4 hour buffer; for Schengen European routes, 3 hours.

Bottlenecks: A12/A2 around Berlin and Frankfurt an der Oder (roadworks), A2 around Poznan during 7-9 and 16-19 peaks (up to 60 min added), Friday afternoons can add 90 min.

The route crosses into Poland at Cieszyn, one of the most reliable crossing points on the Prague-Warsaw corridor.

Prague Václav Havel Airport (PRG) → Katowice Pyrzowice Airport (KTW)

The PRG → KTW route is one of the shortest Prague to Poland connections — a private vehicle exclusively for your group, no shared transfers. 420 km across Upper Silesia and Moravia, past Ostrava and Olomouc — 4 h 30 min - 5 h off-peak. Pyrzowice is 30 km north of Katowice and is the Wizz Air hub for 40+ routes including Dubai, Reykjavik, Tel Aviv, London and Oslo.

Common questions

FAQ

How long is the Prague to Krakow Balice transfer?

Typically 6 h - 6 h 30 min off-peak. The route runs across Upper Silesia and Moravia, past Ostrava and Olomouc. The border crossing is usually queue-free; allow 20-45 min extra on Friday afternoons and at peak times. We back-plan against the KRK departure time.

How much buffer should I leave before a Balice departure?

We recommend 4 hours for European departures (Wizz Air, Ryanair) and 5 hours for long-haul connection itineraries via Frankfurt or Munich. We back-plan against the flight time. The fixed price holds regardless of road delays.

My flight into Prague is delayed — what happens?

We track the flight in real time and shift pickup automatically. 60 minutes of free waiting is included. If the delay threatens the KRK connection, one direct contact line stays open — we operate 24/7, including overnight departures from PRG.

Is the price per person or for the whole vehicle?

For the whole vehicle — a private transfer exclusively for your group, up to 4 passengers (sedan) or 7 (van). You do not share with other travellers. Compared to rail: a Prague-Krakow train ticket requires at least one connection and can be cheaper per person; for 2-4 passengers the private transfer is comparable or cheaper and the door-to-door journey time is similar or shorter.

Train or private transfer — which is faster?

There is no direct Prague-Krakow train. Every connection requires at least one change (typically Ostrava or Bohumin) and takes 6-9 hours plus station transfers at both ends. A door-to-door chauffeur transfer from PRG arrivals to your Krakow address takes comparable time — without platform changes, luggage handling stress or the risk of a missed connection.

Can we stop along the way, for example in Olomouc?

Yes — a stop in Olomouc (around 90 km past Brno) or Ostrava is possible at no extra charge for a short break of up to 30 minutes. Olomouc is one of the finest Baroque cities in Central Europe and frequently added to the PRG-KRK itinerary. A longer stop (over 30 minutes) is charged as additional waiting time — please note this at booking.

What does the transfer price include?

The fixed rate covers the exclusive vehicle and chauffeur, fuel, Czech and Polish motorway vignettes, 60 minutes of complimentary waiting at the airport, live flight monitoring, and VAT. There are no surcharges for luggage, night-time pickups or motorway tolls. The price agreed at booking does not change after arrival.

Can I add a stop on route Prague Václav Havel Airport (PRG) → Krakow Balice Airport (KRK)?

Yes. Planned stops and waiting windows can be included within a single booking.

Will I receive route confirmation before pickup?

Yes. Core timing and operational details are confirmed before dispatch.
