The renovated and enlarged John Paul II International Airport in Balice is about 15 km from the center of the city. Direct trains from Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine and Hungary arrive everyday to the Cracow railway station. Several passenger trains to Warsaw leave Cracow. The journey by an express train takes two and a half hour. One can get to and go from Cracow to Western Europe by coach.
Many travel agencies offer licensed connections.
So-called hotel infrastructure although continually growing is not sufficient for the great number of tourists. There are not enough hotels of a very high standard and cheap places for school excursions. There are over 50 guides who show tourist round the Wawel only.
