Types of parking at Kraków-Balice airport

Published: 24 August 2026

Car parks at Kraków Airport differ not only in price and distance from the terminal, but also in the type of space. Here is the difference between open-air, covered and multi-storey parking, and when each option makes the most sense.

Open-air parking


The most popular and usually the cheapest option — your car stands in an open, fenced and monitored area. For stays of a few days or weeks on a well-kept site, the difference compared with covered parking is small in practice, and the price is usually much better.

Covered parking


A covered space protects the car from rain and strong sun, which may matter for very long stays or newer, more expensive cars. It usually means a higher price and fewer available spaces.

Multi-storey parking


Found mainly at the airport itself, next to the terminal — convenient, but usually the most expensive of all options because of the proximity to the departures hall.

Which type to choose



  • Short trip, priority on price and an easy transfer — monitored open-air parking.

  • Very long stay or a valuable car — consider covered parking.

  • No transfer at all is the priority — multi-storey parking at the terminal.
