Looking for parking at Kraków Airport and not sure where to start? There are more than a dozen car parks within a few kilometres of Balice, and they differ in price, distance, how you get to the terminal and how well they are secured. This guide collects everything worth knowing before you leave your car and fly.
Types of parking near Kraków-Balice Airport
Parking near Kraków Airport falls into a few categories: the official airport car parks (the most expensive, right next to the terminal), private car parks with a shuttle (cheaper, with a bus to the terminal) and "park and go" lots where you sort out the transfer yourself. Most travellers looking for parking at a sensible price choose the second option — it combines a lower cost with a ride straight to the departures hall.
How long does it take to get from the car park to the airport?
A car park 1–2 km from the terminal with a well-organised shuttle can actually be quicker than queuing for a space at the airport itself in the holiday season. King Parking is about 1.4 km from the terminal — roughly a 6-minute drive — and our buses run non-stop, so the ride takes only a few minutes. The full route is described on the directions page.
What to look for when choosing parking at Balice
- Distance from the terminal and the shuttle time (not just kilometres on the map).
- Whether the airport transfer is included in the price or charged extra.
- Whether the site is fenced and monitored.
- Whether you can book and pay online in advance, with no surprises on arrival.
- Real customer reviews, not just the star rating.
