Kraków is often the cheaper or better-connected airport for groups from parts of Europe, even when the destination is Vienna. Tour groups combining the two cities, choirs and orchestras on tour, and companies with meetings in Austria all book this route. The coach covers about 452 km in about 6 h 20 min, including the mandatory break.
South-west through Central Europe
From Balice the coach heads south-west, crosses Czechia or Slovakia depending on traffic and roadworks on the day, and enters Austria for the last stretch to Vienna. All these countries are in Schengen, so there are no routine border controls, but every passenger needs an ID card or passport. The coach pays the electronic tolls in each country. Because the driving takes more than 4.5 hours, the trip includes one 45-minute break at a service area.
Timing, luggage and the group
A landing before midday brings the group to Vienna by early evening. If the flight is delayed, include the flight number in your enquiry and the pick-up follows the real arrival. Choirs and orchestras will appreciate that instrument cases go in the hold alongside suitcases of up to 30 kg each. With 49 to 53 seats on one coach, the whole group travels together and arrives at the hotel at the same time, instead of being split between vans that lose sight of each other on the motorway.
Our coaches are based in Poprad, Slovakia, and the quote includes driving to Kraków Airport for the pick-up. The airport transfer page explains booking, and coach driver hours explains the break rules.
