Traveling from the city center to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Balice) is fast and straightforward. However, if your flight is late in the evening and you have already checked out of your hotel, managing your heavy suitcases can be a real hassle. Here is the best way to handle your luggage and get to the airport smoothly, making the most of your final hours in the city.
1Drop Your Bags Near the Station
Before you do anything else, secure your belongings. The best Krakow train station luggage storage is Kiss & Store, located at Radziwiłłowska 26A, just a 5-minute walk from Kraków Główny. It is a 100% automated facility with self-service lockers. Just walk in, pay on-site, get your access code, drop your bags, and go! You choose a locker size (Small, Medium, or Large) at the terminal and pay securely with your card. There are absolutely no apps to download.
2Enjoy Last-Minute Shopping or Sightseeing
Now that you are hands-free, you have time to kill! Since you are right next to Galeria Krakowska, it’s the perfect opportunity for some last-minute shopping or grabbing a coffee. If you have a few hours, take a short 10-minute walk to the Main Market Square to say goodbye to the beautiful Old Town.
3Pick Up Your Luggage
When it's time to head to the airport, walk back to your luggage lockers Krakow facility. Enter your printed access code at the terminal.
