Starka | Restaurant & Vodkas

$$$$affordable
Polish restaurant
Restaurant
Starka | Restaurant & Vodkas is a cozy 2-room restaurant and bar that offers a warm ambiance, modern hearty dishes, and an extensive selection of vodkas. The place exudes an authentic Polish atmosphere with its unique interior ornaments and delightful cocktail menu. Despite its simple interior, the addition of carbon drawings and caricatures adds an authentic touch to the establishment.
Amazing meal! We tried the roasted carrots and pear appetizer. For our main meals the beef cheeks were the favorite choice as the sauces that accompanied the meal were excellent. I had the duck that was well cooked. The salmon special had an amazing dill sauce. Overall a great meal and ambiance.

This restaurant was recommended to us by our tour guide. After checking out the reviews and seeing such positive feedback, we had to give it a try. We did not have a reservation, which I recommend, because I think we snagged the last table for lunch. The food was pretty good. We got the mixed dumplings, which were soft and succulent; a mushroom soup that was tasty, but not as good as the soup we had at Old Town Restaurant and Wine Bar;I’ll say the same for the pork knuckle, which was good, but did not have the same crispy skin we’ve crunched on before; finally, we had the beef cheeks, which were tender and flavorful, but I frankly think I could make the same dish at home. They had a bunch of homemade vodkas, so we had to try a few. We got blackberry, elderflower, and anise. They were all good, but the anise was just lovely. My hubby, who is not a drinker and three blackberry vodkas!!

The steak tartare is a must try ! As main we ordered beef cheek which was unexpectedly amazingly delicious and I would definitely recommend as a must try too. The pork knuckle was beautifully presented and delicious. Food quality and price is at a good balance and fair ! We reserved a table again on the day before we leaving to taste this great food again !

The staff were extremely kind in helping us find a table, and from the very beginning, we felt warmly welcomed. The experience went far beyond our expectations: the atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, and the dishes, traditional Polish cuisine with a modern twist, were simply outstanding. Every detail, from the presentation to the flavors, made our visit truly memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better evening!

This spot was recommended by the tour guide as his personal favorite. It didn’t disappointment. The flavor was on point. Presentation was beyond. Love!! Highly recommend. Kinga was my server. She was friendly and made me feel welcome as a solo diner 😊.

A modern, Polish restaurant serving delicious food that’s well presented. The menu had a good range of options, and the food we ate was really tasty and good quality. We enjoyed the garden setting for our table, as it was comfortable and fairly quiet. I’d definitely return again!

Read some of their reviews and the place doesnt disappoint at all. The beef cheeks is extremely tender and the sauce that goes it the entree was phenomenal 👌 The appetizer was pierogis with blood sausage I believe (seasonal). It was really different and amazing.
William F — Google review
A small, cozy restaurant that’s always busy — and for a good reason! The food is absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and their use of spices like cardamom and cloves is truly unique. The pierogi are an absolute must-try! We also tried the vodkas, which were sweeter than expected but still great as a dessert. And the walnut cake was top-notch — not too sweet. Cheers to the grandma whose recipe it is! Be sure to book a table in advance!

Czarna Kaczka / Black Duck

$$$$affordable
Polish restaurant
Czarna Kaczka, also known as Black Duck, is a charming restaurant located in a historic tenement house. The eatery offers a cozy atmosphere and serves up a variety of regional dishes. Guests can enjoy their meal on the patio or grab a drink at the bar. The menu features homemade traditional Polish dishes, with a focus on the roast duck platter being their specialty.
A really great place — the restaurant was completely full, which already says a lot. I highly recommend coming a bit earlier or making a reservation in advance. The location is fantastic — you can sit both inside and outside, which really adds to the atmosphere. The service and staff were on a very high level 100/10☺️ The food was absolutely delicious. We waited around 25 minutes for our second course, but our waitress — a lovely baroness-like lady named Kasia (I think) — truly saved the evening. Normally I get frustrated when the wait is long, but she handled everything so gracefully that we felt completely taken care of. She apologized several times and even offered us a complimentary dish, which was such a nice and thoughtful gesture. They were clearly tracking the delay themselves, which speaks volumes about their professionalism. I left feeling genuinely happy and satisfied. The duck was especially delicious — rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend this place — 10 out of 10. One of the best spots in Kraków. Thank you so much!
Nadiia P — Google review
This was a wonderful experience. We were warmly greeted, where we were seated was warm and cosy. Clean and modern. There was a complimentary appetiser of bread, pickles and duck pate given first, then we each had starters, mains and pudding and drinks, and everything was delicious. The starter of duck carpaccio was sublime, the goats cheese salad superb, and the dumplings divine. Prices are super reasonable for the quality too. The best part of the experience was our server Jan who was happy, friendly and funny, with genuine interest in us and making sure we had a good time. He is to be commended for his warm and attentive manner, knowledge of the food and ease of communication. Thank you Jan! Stay awesome!

Nice place with excellent and friendly service. The highlights of the meal were the herring tartar and lemon sauce in baked cod. Definitely worth a visit. If I ever came again, I would come hungrier and taste the half roasted duck.

Sumptuous. Tasty. Memorable. All of this across multiple dishes: herring tartare, spicy duck sumplings, pan fried smoked cheese with pancetta, plus Cracovian duck, stuffed cabbage, and goulash on potato pancake. Then remember apple puffs and cheesecake for dessert. All enjoyed with Krakow region and Georgia country wine. Will return again soon, maybe this weekend?

A place off the tourist paths but very popular — reservations are a must. I was lucky to get a table. Very pleasant and professional service. The menu is based on duck dishes. I recommend the marinated duck carpaccio. Excellent local wines — Gewürztraminer and Pinot Noir.

This restaurant made my visit to Poland so much more special. The service is excellent, the food is amazing, and the place itself is really beautiful, with plants that make it especially cozy. The photos are from two different visits. The price is around €25 (about 107 PLN) per person.

Morskie Oko

$$$$affordable
Polish restaurant
Morskie Oko is a traditional Polish restaurant located in Krakow, offering a cozy atmosphere with exposed brickwork and wooden furniture. The restaurant hosts concerts by highlands singers, providing an authentic cultural experience. Additionally, Morskie Oko is known for its wholesome Polish cuisine, making it a perfect choice for those seeking traditional dishes. In addition to its culinary offerings, the Tatra Mountains feature the stunning Lake Morskie Oko as an attraction.
Suggested by our hotel, the restaurant was outstanding. Regional cuisine. Nice regional ambiance, crafted with beautiful wood work. Staff very professional and attentive. The restaurant was busy but drinks and food came out pretty quickly. Outstanding food, everything we had to we enjoyed. For the two of us we shared stuffed cabbage, pierogies, and a beet root salad. Large portions. Ambience very nice.
G P — Google review
Morskie Oko is a masterclass in Polish hospitality — part culinary wonderland, part cozy nostalgia, and entirely irresistible. The old-school music in the background makes you feel like you’ve been transported into someone’s impeccably charming living room (the one that somehow has both soul and style). The food? Sublime. Duck that practically whispers “eat me,” perogies with the perfect plumpness, sausage and boar that redefine meaty excellence. Potatoes and beet salad complete the ensemble like true supporting actors. The Negroni and Kraków Mule? Drinks that could inspire poetry… or at least a second helping. Our server deserves a medal: warm, informative, and quick to provide a high chair for our baby, making dining feel effortless. We returned the next day simply because skipping it would be criminal. Highly recommend — for flavor, finesse, and an experience so delightful you’ll leave plotting your next visit before dessert even arrives.
Martin M — Google review
We had the best experience here and tried such incredible traditional Polish cuisine. Definitely book a couple days in advance as its very popular - we were super fortunate to walk in and grab a table. We had the beef goulash with potato pancakes, the chicken breast in mushroom sauce and shared a plate of meat pierogis. All 3 dishes were 10/10, so flavoursome and decadent. The potato pancakes and the pierogis were the star of the show - the pancakes were so buttery inside but crisp on the outside and the pierogis were filled with meat and the crispy bacon bits on the top made the dish. A must visit whilst in Krakow!
Eleri R — Google review
We had the vegan placki, ruskie pierogi, rosół and beef stroganoff soup. The placki look suspicious but let me tell you, they were so unreal. Best thing we’ve had, it was so delicious along with the rest of our meals. You also can’t skip the hot beer and the winter tea, also the best ones we’ve had since being in Poland. Highly recommend this place ☺️

Very unique restaurant inside, perfect for a special occasion and to try some traditional polish food. My husband had pork neck fillet which was delicious and the pierogi’s to start were also yummy. I personally found the pork knuckle a bit fatty for my taste.

My friend and I just landed and was looking for traditional Polish food and due to the amount of good reviews we decided to check it out ourself. We stopped by with no reservation and they told us it would be a 20 minute wait for two people that was fine and we walked to the nearby Square. After walking around, we came back and we seated instantly. We ordered the meat platter for two, boiled potatoes, sauerkraut, salad, and I got the warm beer. For about $63 this was a great deal for two people. The variety of meat was absolutely decadent. Service is great and ambience made you feel like you were in a medieval tavern. 10 out of 10 would recommend coming back.
Kody M — Google review
We were able to speak with the staff beforehand via mail, the responses were quick, polite and exhaustive. The restaurant is very “traditional”, especially in the underground hall, where we ate. The food arrived quickly and was truly amazing, from the appetisers to the main dishes. Pairing that with a beautiful staff, you get a 5 stars restaurant. Would come back and recommend to try.

Fantastic service! Very cozy cellar. Food was good, traditional polish. Some live polish music. Had a great time. Food was well prepared. Maybe not my favourite dishes, but still 5/5. Im rating based on food, not my personal preferences. I would definitely visit again.

Sioux

$$$$affordable
Restaurant
The restaurant Sioux specializes in delicious Mexican food, and the kitchen is located on the ground floor. The good thing about this restaurant is that it has a lot of locations in Krakow, so you can always find one close to where you are. Another downside is that the lemonade can be quite icy, but overall the food is really tasty.
Found Sioux in the heart of the main square. We got the option of sitting outside or indoors. We opted for indoor as it was a little chilly. We were given a very friendly welcoming. The waiter was quick to take or order & gave my husband some advice on the steaks so he went with his suggestion & ordered it. The starter was chicken wings which we shared, they were extremely hot & fresh. Defo the best wings we’ve ever had. I went for the fajitas & my husband the steak. We can not fault the meal, service or atmosphere. We got 3 drinks, 1 starter & 2 main meals. It was 219.40 PLN, which worked out around £45, bargain! We will defo be returning before we head home to Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We recently stayed in Krakow for 3 nights and we ate here twice both times were great. The first night we sat outside which was lovely, the 2nd we sat inside and wow you don’t realise how big this place is. We were served by Memik she was super friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The food arrived and again we weren’t disappointed, fresh, hot and tasty what more can you ask for 😊

First of all, Maciek Q was incredibly helpful – he made us feel like family. I had the Arizona steak, cooked medium rare – it was perfectly done! I wanted to try dessert as well, but the steak was so generous in size that I simply had no room left. My friend had the ribs – the meat fell right off the bone, tender and full of flavor. We highly recommend this place!

I got here at around 15:00 local time, I was unable to get a seat inside, but was seated in the outside seating area. The Angus Steak was cooked perfectly, the local beer went down easily and the coffee to finish off was, although strong, very nice. A nice atmosphere, waiting staff are friendly, and if you ask where the best bigos is, they'll happily let you know.

Known for its marinated grilled meats cooked over beech fire and other Polish classics like pierogi and zurek, Pod Aniołami provides a contemporary twist on authentic dishes.
Chose this to sample traditional Polish food and we weren’t disappointed. A beautiful restaurant with a fabulous menu. We had the tasting menu and the portions were huge, well presented and so tasty. The pork was so tender and cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially when we were choosing the wine! They even provided a chair for my handbag! Great atmosphere and I would definitely return.

Ate in this special restaurant one week ago, and in the first minute we entered, we got struck by an amazing atmosphere, like going back in time. The restaurant has an amazing interior design, the service was perfect, and the food...oh, the food was excellent. We had a plate of the Old-Polish Bigos, and one of Anielska Maczanka, both accompanied by a good local red wine we took following the waiter recommendation. It was just perfect!!!
Zohar B — Google review
Pod Aniołami is an exceptional dining experience! The restaurant exudes elegance and sophistication, creating an atmosphere that is both warm and refined. The food is absolutely outstanding — I had the duck, which was by far the best I’ve ever tasted, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Negroni cocktail was a masterpiece, crafted with the finest gin and balanced beautifully. The vibes inside are unique and inviting, making it a truly memorable experience. We even brought our 8-month-old baby, who seemed to enjoy the ambiance as much as we did. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-tier cuisine and an unforgettable dining experience in Kraków. After our meal we were treated to a mini shot of “miętowa” which is mint vodka. It’s deliciously smooth and goes down very nicely. That was a very nice touch.

It had been a long time since I've been to a place where the service was attentive and friendly as this. The food came out fast and was very delicious, and they also offered us a complimentary mint vodka which was the perfect way to end a nice meal. This place is probably catered to tourists since the prices are high, but it was definitely worth it.

Pod Baranem

Polish restaurant
Nestled in the south-east corner of Planty Park, Pod Baranem is a renowned restaurant that offers century-old recipes in a cozy and elegant setting. The menu features traditional Polish dishes with a modern European twist, including the best pierogi in the city, hand-sized goblaki, and daily specials like Krakow-style herring and pigs trotters.
We had such a wonderful dinner here this evening. I strongly recommend a visit to this place. We were warmly greeted by someone at the door and shown to our table (I suggest making a booking). The food was so delicious. We decided on a meaty evening and had the cabbage meat starter, and sirloin and pork chop for mains. Ordered a side of fried potatoes. I recommend 1 side per person. All the food was carefully made and plated. The portions were well sized and we felt the prices were very reasonable. Our waiter was such a wonderful addition to our evening. He helped us with recommendations and explained the dishes well. He was so friendly and a pleasure to meet him. We would love to visit again in the future :)

One of the best gluten free dining experiences I’ve ever had - an amazing range of options with traditional care and attention to detail. Recommending borscht with dumplings, venison old Polish style, and definitely the eggnog cake. Great to be in a traditional Polish family run restaurant.

Have you seen Andrew Zimmern's "Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations" episode of Kraków? This is the restaurant in that episode that shows the making of their famous cabbage rolls (Gołąbki). I was curious about the delicate cabbage leaves that look like the wings of its namesake (little doves or pigeons). It was everything I thought it would be, and more. I'm so glad that we tried them. It's popular for a reason. I really appreciated the fresh mushrooms, and the filling of buckwheat. It made the rolls so light. It felt like comfort food at its best. Very delicious! They can make them gluten-free as well. In fact, the menu has a lot of options for those with dietary restrictions. They'll ask you right away if you have any allergies to certain foods. The service was great. Everything was explained very well. We couldn't pass up dessert. They all looked so good. My husband decided to get the Basque Cheesecake. It's not on the menu, but they'll let you know if it's available by request. I was tossed between the Egg Nog Cake and the Chocolate Cherry Cake. Both have some form of liquor in it. The Egg Nog Cake or Ajerkoniakowy Tort was my absolute favorite of the 2 desserts. I really liked the eggnog filling. I'd think it would be rum (like the Polish Kogel Mogel punch), but we were told that the vodka works better in their recipe. They were right. It's definitely heavenly. What I love is that there were more locals eating there. I didn't see any tourists. It's kind of off the beaten path. We decided to head on over to Kazimierz since it's not very far from this resraurant. It all worked out perfectly. I'd love to return one day to try other menu items. Everything looked great.

Came across this small Italian restaurant by chance and it definitely didn’t disappoint! It’s a small restaurant with a brilliant atmosphere, staff are very polite, welcoming and attentive. The food was excellent! Had the tuna and red prawn tartare to start which was very light and delicious. This followed by our delicious main Octopus stew and my favourite was the Spaghetti Vongole! We even had 2 servings of it!! While I’m no expert on Hell’s Kitchen, It was a very balanced meal, Clams were very fresh, spaghetti not too overcooked and the sauce was well done. This all paired with a beautiful bottle of Sicilian white wine. We had tiramisu and panna cotta which was lovely to finish off the meal. Price point wasn’t too bad either considering the amount of food and wine. While this restaurant is not on the main square and can be missed. I would highly recommend them!

For their prices they need a lot of improvement. We asked the dishes to be shared and come whatever is ready. But the lady said “no chief will bring all together “. Which is weird. When the waitress brought the dishes she dropped everything there didn’t even said a word didn’t explain nothing. Steak came undercooked. When I ask if they can cook it a bit more she looked at us like I asked her to do a backflip. She grabbed the steak speechless brought it back still undercooked inside. Never came to ask again if the cooking was okay this time. We end up eating half of it just to not waste it , paid and left disappointed.

The wife and I booked in here for a nice meal on our last night in krakow. We were not disappointed! Hands down this was the best steak I have ever had. Compliments to the chef. My wife had tuna and this was very well cooked and seasoned. We had pasta as a starter which we said we would share, the food came out already divided for us. This made us feel well thought of. Finally, dessert was excellent and finished off a fine evening. Thank you all!

The restaurant is celebrated for its delicious borscht, dumplings, grilled salads, and mouth-watering desserts like apple pie and chocolate souffle.
We had a late lunch at this lovely restaurant right in the heart of the old town. The service was excellent. The food was delicious— my companion mentioned that her goat cheese salad might be one of the best she has ever had. The tartare starter was tasty and enough for two. My main course, chicken breast with vegetables, was also very good. Despite its central location, the restaurant is reasonably priced considering the high quality. Extra points for the air conditioning—it was a really hot day. This restaurant is definitely worth recommending!

Exceptional Food & Warm Hospitality We shared appetizers of sheep cheese and dumplings — easily the best bites of food we’ve had on this trip. The wine was excellent, and the duck on the tray was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and offered great suggestions. A must-visit for amazing food and genuine hospitality.

I found this restaurant online by chance, not knowing what to expect. I only saw that it had good reviews, so we gave it a chance. The food was great. We had the traditional Polish soup, smoked goose, and dumplings for appetizers and the pork knuckle and duck confit. Everything was good, but we were talking about the pork knuckle for a few days after, wishing we had time to go back and have it again. It was crispy on the outside and juicy tender on the inside. It’s one of the best I’ve had.

My family have multiple allergies and so far we have eaten here for three days running. They couldn't be more helpful in what meals are safe and how things can be adapted to suit our needs. The staff are lovely and the food is to die for.

There is very little gluten-free food in Krakow. Finding this place was a godsend. My boys are celiac. We're not. However, there are plenty of options for everyone. Lovely food, great service.

We have eaten pork knuckle in many places, but this one was the best by far! It was even gluten free and super crispy. The staff speaks very good English and was very kind. Very clean and spacious restaurant. If you want gluten free food (and beer) and good service, I highly recommend you visiting this restaurant. Cheers!

Amazing restaurant in the city center of Krakow. Local food with good options, even for celiacs and other intolerances. The service was fantastic and professional and the atmosphere and decoration of the place also nice. The soup and the pork belly are really good options. I recommend it and will repeat in my next trip to Thai city.

Probably the best meal we had in our 2 weeks here in Europe. The chicken dish was amazing, the old fashioned was spot on, and the dumplings were perfect. In the main square, it’s a must for lunch or dinner!

Camelot Cafe

$$$$affordable
Coffee shop
Nestled in the charming streets of Krakow, Camelot Cafe is a cozy spot with vintage decor and a nostalgic atmosphere. The cafe offers a variety of coffee, tea, breakfast items, brunch options, homemade breads, and pastries. Its quirky interior features vintage bookshelves, mismatched armchairs, and a striking spiral staircase that adds to its homely ambiance. The pink walls hint at its intriguing history as a former brothel spread over three rooms.
This is a very beautiful café (and breakfast place, as far as I have seen from the dishes that were arriving at the tables next to us) in a quiet (or rather, quieter) part of the old town of Krakow. Had many options for breakfast and drinks, including fresh juices. The hot chocolate looked (and tasted, according to my wife) delicious. Looks like a great project and please, do yourself a favor and wander inside for an eye-treat; the place is great - outside has a great atmosphere as well.

We ate here twice, both of which were very enjoyable. As other reviews have indicated, service is not rushed but it is friendly and allows you to enjoy watching the world drift by. On our second visit we had reserved the window seat. Romantic but be aware it is quite a step up (& down).

Camelot Cafe in Krakow is truly a gem — a place that feels both cozy and magical the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with amazing vibes that make you want to linger over every bite and sip. Every detail of the cafe, from the decor to the music, creates a unique experience that perfectly balances charm and comfort. The menu is fantastic, offering a wide variety of dishes that cater to every taste. We tried a few items, and everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care goes into the food, making it a delight for both locals and visitors alike. What truly made our visit special, however, was Olivia. She was incredible — attentive, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about making our experience enjoyable. Her warmth and professionalism added a personal touch that elevated the entire visit. Camelot Cafe isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to feel good, to enjoy the company of friends or simply soak in the atmosphere. Whether you’re in Krakow for a day or a week, this cafe is an absolute must-visit. Can’t wait to return! Insta - markos_polomint

What a great little place and unique in Krakow. The cafe was a great surprise and I loved the food. The best thing was the apple pie and cheese cake all fresh - the coffee was delicious 😋 service was really nice and atmosphere very pleasant.

Our first time in Krakow and the guidebook we had recommended Camelot, so we knew we had to give it a go. What a wonderfully unique place. Loved everything about it. We opted for the apple cake which was beautiful, I had the mulled wine and have never tasted mulled wine so nice. Hubby had a latte which he said was really nice too. Staff were all so friendly and we got talking to the owner who was such a nice person. Would definitely say you have to go here for the experience. Would visit again next time we go to Krakow.

a different and unique look and feel. from the exterior, to the imperfect details inside. I drank a great prosecco, and my friend, a very good IPA beer. and we enjoyed a portion of sweet pierogi, which were the perfect balance between traditional, modern, sweet and fresh.

Międzynarodowy Port Lotniczy im. Jana Pawła II Kraków-Balice

International airport
Airport
John Paul II International Airport Kraków-Balice is conveniently connected to the city center by an express train link, with departures every 30 minutes. The train ride takes 20 minutes to reach Krakow Glowny station, while buses are available between train departures. It's advisable to check the arrival time of your flight to decide on the most convenient option. The airport offers a comfortable and family-friendly environment, with special zones for kids that are both entertaining and educational.
I flew out of Krakow recently and I was feeling a bit nausious. They were very kind and understanding, as I know them to be there making it a much more pleasant experience for me. It's a relatively clean airport and all staff are kind and helpful. It's a cool airport and I personally think they deal well with passengers and luggage and everything in-between

Kraków Airport is modern and fairly well-organized. Security and boarding went smoothly, and the staff were helpful. The terminal is clean with a few nice places to eat or grab a coffee. Not a huge airport, but efficient for its size. Public transport to the city is convenient. Overall, a pleasant experience 👌
Ugo S — Google review
Overall experience is not really good at all. From the outside the airport looks big and visually attractive Inside is an absolute mayhem. Krakow being one of the top tourist destination. The crowds/tourists are really in thousands. The facilities at the airport is appalling. Toilet facilities are bad. No seats to sit with a few granite stone benches around at the check in area and a few seats around. In fact there are more seating areas in the parks and surrounding woods in Krakow. Upstairs, before boarding the flight, there is shortage of seats for waiting even there for travellers. The lighting overall at this airport is very poor, quite dull and gloomy. Some staff are ok when you deal with them where as others can get upset with you easily for no apparent reason. Considering this is an international airport and a favourite destination for visitors this airport needs a lot of improvement.
George S — Google review
Navigating through the Krakow airport is chaotic and truly tests your anxiety levels! There is no clear directions and they only start the check in process couple hours prior to the flight. Then you come to find out they are checking in for 3/4 other flights from the same check in counters. This makes the lines and wait times super long and you never know if you will make it to your flight in time. The next test comes when you have to make it through the immigration lines! Though this line kept moving, every one seemed to be in a panic state! Not a good experience at all overall!!!

Unbelievable experience at Krakow Airport I’ve been traveling with the same portable battery charger across 52 countries in total, including 30 in the past 5 years, and I’ve flown with Ryanair countless times without any issues. Just two days ago, I flew from Athens to Krakow with this very charger, and it passed security without a problem. But today, at Krakow Airport, I was told I had to throw it away just to get through security. And here’s the kicker—the charger is more expensive than the flight itself! I mean… wow! It’s incredible how the rules can vary so dramatically between airports. Travelers, beware: what works everywhere else may not work here. Date : 22 OCTOBER 2025 12:10 pm Check in 26 desk

This is a Big airport on ground level we have arrive hall with drop in bag area , level 1 is security check and gates , we have a Fun area if u are travelling with kids ( snooker, ping pong ) also before gate u can find a food court area .

Easy access to city as per small train , bus u can purches a travel ticket on ground floor " Miejska Karta " box or multiple Taxi located outside terminal . hotel Hilton located directly on Airport ground 2 min walk .

The security check is extremely fast and painless but the waiting area can be improved drastically as there isn’t enough seating or lounge area and it gets crowded quickly. I suggest coming closer to your flight time (1.5-2 instead of 3 hr) to maximize your time.
Tien F — Google review
It’s a very nice airport. Departure gates are packed, not enough waiting area. My complaint is with the taxis when arriving late in the evening. I could not get a Bolt to pick me up. They repeatedly accepted my ride request, then canceled after a couple minutes. I was forced to take an airport taxi who wouldn’t or didn’t have or didn’t use a meter. Charged me zł129. My taxi ride to the airport to depart was only zł56 in rush hour traffic with a tip. Be forewarned about the taxis. Ran into the same problem in old Town late in the evening. Wanted zł100 to go 3.3 Km. Bolt only cost me zł35 with tip.

Międzynarodowy Port Lotniczy Katowice

International airport
Airport
Katowice Airport, with its two terminals, primarily serves European scheduled flights and some global charter routes. It is well-organized, offering a smooth and efficient travel experience with hassle-free check-in and security procedures. The airport provides a variety of dining options and courteous staff, making it a pleasant and stress-free place to travel from. Despite being small with limited duty-free shops and seating, the airport is clean and has potential for growth.
I have flown with LOT and Lufthansa to/from Katowice. It's a great small airport, pretty efficient. The fast track/priority security is extremely friendly and intimate. Business lounge is nice, though the food selection can be slightly improve. Overall, quick and convenient.
Adam Z — Google review
Otherwise a decent airport, not overly cosy, but not too big either. The fact that you can pass security only 2h before flight is annoying, especially since it’s quite far from the city so you would have to plan to arrive with a buffer. Cold inside at this time. But great clean toilets and beautiful children’s play area near gate 10-11.
Lilian C — Google review
Terrible. This is a tiny airport which means you don’t need to arrive too early before the flight. However what makes this airport so disgraceful is the security. You’re treated like you’re in the military whilst passing through security control. I forgot my headphones in one of the trays, and instead of politely calling me back, the man whistled and started shouting at me to come back, and then started questioning me. All for him just to say that I left my headphones in the tray. Then what was all the commotion for? It’s like they have a sense of power. No respect for tired passengers at 5am in the morning.

Flying in from a Schengen county in the morning was fast and efficient, despite the passport control at the airplane door (an extra 30 minutes lost, but not a big deal. The toilets at the arrivals leave much to be desired. They had just been cleaned but a smell of urine lingered in the air... Departure was swift. Security control was thorough; my boots has to be removed, as in 90% of my trips. In less than 10 minutes I was airside. The duty free section was OK. Good liquor selection, not so much for everything else. Drinking water fountains near the toilets. These had the now-familiar urine smell and a couple of small flies flying around in the cubicle. Seating seemed limited, but it is was late in the day, so no problems there. A small children playground was a nice touch. At this airport, Ryanair employees were enforcing the small bag rule rather fervently, but, hey, if you fly Ryanair, you know what to do.....

Katowice Pyrzowice Airport is improving every year. Clean and modern toilets, a small but well‑stocked shop, free water refill for bottles and fast security check. Good bus connection to the city – overall a great experience.
Dorian N — Google review
Absolutely the most rude staff I ever came across, starting from security, border control and ending in car rental place. Lack of manners, compassion. Staff treat you as enemy and looking for any reason to make sure you understand THEY are in power and control. Passport control takes ages when you finally reach the officer you are greet with long faces and sense of power and authority. I suggest staff go through some king of “kindness and respect training” very disappointed each time I am flying, wish I had closer airport to choose from when visiting Poland. Shame
Basia — Google review
I've had three separate experiences with this airport (two departures and one arrival) and two out of the three have been awful, the third was an arrival from within the Schengen Area so there was very little input from the airport other than baggage unloading (which went well). I have used numerous other airports, two others in Poland. Both Wrocław and Poznan are excellent airports, both of which I would recommend. I would very strongly recommend using any other airport than Katowice, failing that I would suggest walking, you would be more likely to make it to your destination than taking a flight from this airport.

Terrible airport. The staff treat travelers as if they are prisoners and are very rude. They confiscate items from your suitcase for no reason. They charged me 80 euros for the tennis rackets in my tennis backpack which was my hand luggage, while I had already paid for a checked suitcase. As a tennis player I always travel with my tennis backpack and this is the first time in 80 flights I was fined. Horrific experience, avoid this airport like the plague!
