The short version
Kraków is a comfortable half-day from Košice, and the road there is one of the most beautiful in central Europe — Spiš, the Tatra foothills, Zakopane, then the descent to the Vistula plain.
It is also a road that changes with the season. Between November and April our vehicles run winter tyres as standard and the driver plans the pass crossing around the weather, so the schedule holds even when the mountains do not cooperate.
Door to door
Pickup anywhere in Košice, drop-off at your hotel, Kraków Airport or the Old Town.
Winter-ready
Winter tyres, de-icing kit and an alternative valley route when the passes close.
Tolls & vignettes
Slovak vignette and Polish motorway charges are included in the quoted price.
Waiting time
Sixty minutes of free waiting at the airport, thirty at all other pickups.

Kraków transfers: good to know
Is the drive safe in winter?+
Yes. The vehicles are winter-equipped from November to April and the drivers know both the mountain and the longer valley alternative if snow closes a pass.
Can we stop at Zakopane or the Wieliczka salt mine?+
Yes. Short sightseeing stops on the way are common — tell us in advance and we build them into the schedule and the price.
Do you serve Kraków Airport (Balice)?+
Yes, with flight tracking and meet & greet inside the terminal at no extra cost.
How many passengers can travel?+
Up to three in a sedan and up to eight in a van, with luggage. Larger groups are handled with two vehicles.
