You can get there on foot (5 min. walk) or take a free shuttle bus service which operates to and from Kraków - Balice Train Station, this is a 1 minute trip from the airport terminal building.

The station is close to the old city center and it is less than 10 minutes walk to the Campanile Hotel. To reach the hotel you should walk through a large shopping mall (Galeria Krakowska) which is next to the station on the western side and next go South to the underground pass. After passing it you should continue going right along Planty, the belt-like park surrounding the city center, up to St. Thomas street (Św. Tomasza) - the hotel is just on the corner.
If you want to take a taxi go to the parking lot located above the platforms taking the stairs (painted in blue) in the Southern end of the platform - although the distance is very short it takes around 10 minutes to get to the hotel and costs appr. 12 PLN.

City bus, line 192, is available close to the airport, and connects to the city center. The bus stop is located at the roundabout, right to the exit from the passenger terminal. The travel to the center takes approximately 40 minutes. Taking the 192 citybus line you should get off the bus at the stop "Dworzec Główny" (Railway Station) at Basztowa Street. The stop is just at the exit from the underground pass mentioned above and you should walk to the hotel along Planty.

The Central Railway Station in Warszawa is located about 10 km from Okecie airport . We recommend that you take the Airport City bus (avoid taxis in Warszawa - taxi drivers may choose
a roundabout route - which makes Warsaw taxis very expensive for foreigners!).
