Vienna is a natural arrival airport for groups coming from far away, and some of them are bound for Kraków: tour groups visiting the old town, pilgrimages, academic delegations or companies meeting in Lesser Poland. Rather than a connecting flight with split bookings, one coach takes everyone in a single leg of about 472 km and about 6 h 45 min.
Northwards through Central Europe
From Schwechat the coach heads north out of Austria and crosses Czechia or Slovakia, depending on traffic and roadworks on the day, before entering Poland and reaching Kraków. All of these countries are in Schengen, so there are no routine border controls, but each passenger needs an ID card or passport. The coach pays every electronic toll on the way. The driving exceeds 4.5 hours, so the trip includes one 45-minute break, usually at a service area roughly halfway.
Long-haul arrivals and delays
Groups landing after an overnight flight are often tired, and the coach makes the second half of the day easier: a WC, a coffee machine and air conditioning on board, and no change of vehicle. If the flight is delayed, the pick-up follows the real landing time as long as the flight number is in your enquiry. A morning arrival brings the group to Kraków in the afternoon or early evening. Suitcases up to 30 kg per piece, plus bikes or sports kit, go in the hold. One coach for 49 to 53 people replaces a convoy of minibuses.
The coach comes from our base in Poprad, Slovakia, and the quote includes driving to Vienna Airport. For the rules behind the break, read coach driver hours, or check the calculator for the approximate distance, route and travel time.
