Airport Taxi in Krakow costs PLN 60–100 where residents buy it, and PLN 120–250 in the parts of the city built around visitors. That is roughly 150% more at the top end, or about PLN 190 lost on a single purchase if you happen to buy at the worst place on the worst street. These figures were last reviewed in August 2026.
The published fare and the fare offered to an arriving visitor in Krakow are rarely the same number. Using the official app, meter or ticket machine removes most of the spread on its own.
Treat PLN 100 as the ceiling for a fair price in Krakow, with PLN 80 as the everyday midpoint. Quotes at PLN 250 are not scams in any legal sense — they are simply priced for someone who will not check.
None of this is unique to Krakow — it is how pricing works across most of Poland — but the size of the gap is local, and it is large enough here to be worth thirty seconds of attention before you hand over money.
