Kraków is not just a city—it's a starting point for unforgettable adventures in southern Poland and beyond. Whether you land at Kraków Airport (KRK) or arrive by train, make sure your journey from arrival to destination is smooth, comfortable and tailored for you. At MrShuttle.eu we provide private transfers so you can focus on exploring, not logistics.

1. Wander around the Main Market Square (Rynek Główny)

Marvel at the centuries-old architecture, choose a café terrace and observe the lively square. It's the largest medieval market square in Europe.
