Getting around Kraków in 2025 involves more than just wandering the streets—these dedicated apps and websites make navigation, ticketing and parking a breeze.
Public-transport planning
JakDojade.pl
JakDojade is Poland’s leading real-time urban journey planner. Beyond static timetables, it tracks trams and buses live, alerts you to delays and suggests optimal transfer points — features that Google Maps’ transit layer can’t match in Kraków. Its interface is tailored to local routes and offers in-app ticket purchases, making it a popular choice for visitors relying on Kraków’s public transport system.
e-podroznik.pl
For intercity journeys—whether you’re heading to Warsaw, Wrocław or the Tatra Mountains — e-podroznik aggregates timetables and ticket booking for trains (PKP Intercity, Polregio) and long-distance coaches in one place. You can compare prices offered by different transport providers, plan door-to-door trips and pay online in advance.
Ride-hailing apps
- Uber operates throughout Kraków, offering pre-booked or on-demand private-hire rides — useful for airport transfers or late-night trips
- Bolt provides cars, electric scooters and bike rentals in one app. It also offers a cash payment option for taxi rides in Krakow.
- Free Now (formerly mytaxi) aggregates licensed taxis, private hires and car-sharing; it’s popular for its reliability and quick pickup times (average ~4 min).
Car-sharing: Traficar
Traficar is Poland’s largest car-sharing network, born in Kraków in 2016. Via the app you can unlock cars parked around the city, pay by the minute or day (e.g. a 24 h rental for ~69 PLN), and skip traditional rental hassles — fuel, insurance and servicing are all included.
Electric-scooter and bike rentals
- Bolt Scooters & Bikes: Find and unlock e-scooters or bikes directly in the Bolt app. Rides are charged per minute, ideal for getting around the Old Town
- Lime: Another micromobility option, Lime’s e-scooters and e-bikes are available throughout Kraków’s central districts — unlock in seconds, ride and park responsibly in designated zones.
Parking payment: SkyCash
SkyCash is a useful mobile-payment app that integrates Kraków’s paid-parking zones. Rather than hunting for change, you simply enter your vehicle details and pay by card. It also handles tolls, train tickets and public-transport top-ups, making it a one-stop wallet for travel in Poland.
With all these tools at your fingertips, navigating Kraków is convenient, cash-free and tailored to both quick local commutes and longer adventures.
