It is also possible to reach Cracow by an international train or bus. There is a lot of connections from different European cities.

As heavy construction is going on at the central railway station in Cracow, and no public transportation is available in the vicinity, we recommend you the following way to get to your hotel: after getting off the train, you should go up (or take a lift) and take a taxi on the upper level of the railway station. For example: a taxi to the Novotel-Bronowice hotel costs about 5-6 Euro, at nights can be more.
