Chauffeur service in Kraków
Luxura provides private chauffeurs in Kraków for transfers from Kraków Airport (KRK) and Katowice Airport (KTW), hourly hire in the city, and day trips to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Zakopane in the Tatra Mountains.
Private chauffeur service across Kraków
Kraków Airport at Balice is about 15 km west of the centre, and transfers to the Old Town or Kazimierz take around 30 minutes. Katowice Airport, used by some charter and low-cost flights, is roughly 100 km away. The Old Town, ringed by the Planty gardens and dominated by the Main Market Square and Wawel Castle, is largely closed to general traffic, so chauffeurs use the nearest permitted drop-off points.
Kazimierz, the historic Jewish quarter, and Podgórze across the Vistula are popular for hotels, restaurants and galleries. Kraków is busiest from late spring to early autumn and again during the Christmas market. Many guests book a chauffeur for day trips to Wieliczka, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Zakopane, where winter weekends bring heavy traffic on the Zakopianka road.

Getting around Kraków, the easy way
How do transfers from Kraków Airport work?
Kraków Airport (KRK) has a modern single terminal, and your chauffeur waits in arrivals with a name sign while tracking your flight. The Old Town and Kazimierz are about 30 minutes away. Some flights use Katowice Airport (KTW) instead, which is around 1 hour 15 minutes from Kraków by motorway, a journey that is comfortable door to door.
- About 30 minutes to the Old Town
- Katowice (KTW) transfers available
- Flight tracking on every booking
Which day trips from Kraków are best by car?
The Wieliczka Salt Mine is about 30 minutes south-east and visits run on guided tours. The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial in Oświęcim is around 1 hour 15 minutes west; entry is by reservation, so book your time slot first. Many visitors combine the two in one long day. A chauffeur waits during visits and adjusts timings to your entry slots.
- Wieliczka: about 30 min
- Auschwitz-Birkenau: about 1 h 15 min
- Reserve memorial entry in advance
Winter trips to Zakopane
Zakopane, at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, is about two hours south of Kraków in normal traffic. In winter it is Poland's best-known ski town, with Kasprowy Wierch and the Gubałówka hill nearby. The main Zakopianka road can be very slow on Friday evenings and weekends in season, so early starts help. Vehicles are prepared for winter conditions.
- About 2 hours in normal traffic
- Expect weekend congestion in winter
- Kasprowy Wierch and Gubałówka nearby
Evenings out in Kraków
Kraków's evenings centre on the Main Market Square, the restaurants and bars of Kazimierz, and concerts in historic churches and the Philharmonic. Because the Old Town is largely closed to traffic, your chauffeur drops you at the nearest permitted point and agrees a collection time and place, so the return to your hotel is simple even late at night.
- Main Market Square and Kazimierz
- Classical concerts in historic venues
- Agreed drop-off and collection points
Upcoming events in Kraków
Major events coming up in Kraków, with chauffeur arrival tips for each venue. Book early, as cars sell out on big event days.
The drive from Kraków Airport (KRK) to the Old Town takes about 30 minutes and covers around 17 km. Allow longer at weekday rush hours. From Katowice Airport (KTW), the journey to Kraków takes about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal, holding a sign with your name, as you leave baggage reclaim. Your flight is tracked, so the pick-up adjusts to the actual landing time, and your driver helps with luggage.
Yes. Hourly hire is available in Kraków for sightseeing, evenings out and business meetings. The driver stays with you between stops, and full-day bookings suit Wieliczka, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial or Zakopane.
Only partly. Most of the Old Town inside the Planty is a restricted traffic zone, so cars cannot reach every hotel door. Your chauffeur uses the nearest permitted drop-off point, helps with luggage, and coordinates access with your hotel where possible.
Book through the booking form on our website with your flight number, pick-up and destination, or send your request on WhatsApp. WhatsApp support runs 24/7, and you receive your chauffeur's details before your journey.
