Getting there on your own:

From Kraków: 1. By car (the fastest and most flexible option)

• Time and distance: The journey takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes (distance approx. 140 km), depending on traffic.
• Route: The fastest route goes east via the A4 highway, and then national road No. 75 (DK75) straight to the destination. Hotel Krynica is located at ul. Park Sportowy im. Juliana Zawadowskiego 3, next to the Ice Arena (Hala Lodowa), where parking is available for guests.
• Link to the route in Google Maps

2. By coach / bus (time-optimal public transport)

• Time: This is a very time-competitive alternative to the train. The journey takes from 2 hours and 45 minutes to about 3 hours.
• Journey details: Routes of major carriers (e.g., FlixBus or Szwagropol) depart directly from the MDA Bus Station in Kraków. Buses usually stop in the center of Krynica-Zdrój (e.g., at the "Hawana" bus stop). From there, it is just over a kilometer to the hotel, so you can take a walk or order a quick ride with a local taxi.

3. By train (comfortable, but slightly longer)

• Time: A journey by a direct train usually takes from 3 hours and 40 minutes (for faster Intercity trains, e.g., IC Malinowski) to about 4.5 hours (Polregio regional trains).
• Journey details: Trains depart from the Kraków Główny (Kraków Main) station and arrive at the destination railway station Krynica-Zdrój. The distance from the railway station to Hotel Krynica is about 1.5 km – a short taxi ride will also work well here to comfortably reach the destination with your luggage.
