Conference bus

We will provide a conference bus from Krakow to Zakopane on Saturday, June 15 departing at 6 p.m. from the parking lot at 4 Reymonta street. Therefore we recommend that you take one of the flights to Krakow (see the Krakow Airport web page) arriving in Krakow before 4 p.m., giving you enough time to catch the conference bus.

Details concerning the conference bus and regular bus services can be found here. If you want to register for the conference bus please contact the organizers.

If you plan to arrive earlier or later, there are frequent regular bus and recently reopened train connections from Krakow to Zakopane (travel time appr. 2 - 3 hrs.). From the airport you can reach the bus/train station by the airport train.

We will also provide a conference bus on Sunday, June 23, at 8:30 a.m. approximately that will depart to Krakow right after the early breakfast, allowing you to catch flights leaving Krakow after 11 a.m. Regular bus service from Zakopane starts before 6 a.m. allowing you to catch flights departing from Krakow at 10 a.m. approximately. If your flight is earlier in the morning consider an option to stay overnight in Krakow.

Kraków Airport - city center

Kraków Airport is conveniently connected with the main train station and central bus terminal by the airport train. The timetable can be found here.

Airport taxis will take you to the city center at a flat rate of approximately Euro 30. You can also use one of the local taxi companies or Uber (note that in Poland Uber is operated by regular taxis, not by private cars).

Kraków Airport - Zakopane

On certain days, the international company FLIXBUS provides direct bus services from the Kraków Airport to Zakopane.

Kraków - Zakopane by bus or train

Two local bus companies operate on the Kraków-Zakopane route (6 a.m. - 10 p.m. approximately): Mayer Bus and Szwagropol. There are, however, more bus connections by the long distance companies, like FLIXBUS, for example. The buses basically run every 20-30 minutes, and you can buy a ticket directly from the driver.

Central bus terminal is located on the East side of the main train station (left with respect to the train direction from the airport). Buses to Zakopane depart from the upper level (platforms G). Tickets (30 PLN or 7 Euro approximately) can be purchased on-line, on-board and also at the bus terminal ticket office.

For train connections see search engine. However, train connections are less frequent than busses and are often delayed.

In Zakopane

Train and bus stations in Zakopane are in principle within a walking distance to the conference venue (approximately 1.3 km. - see map). However, "Geovita" hotel is located on a steep hill, so we recommend that you take a taxi to: hotel "Geovita", Wierchowa street #4.
