You are travelling to us from abroad. This page answers the two questions that actually matter then: how long is the journey from the airport, and where do I stay? Every distance below is measured, not estimated.
From the airport to the clinic
Kraków Airport Balice (KRK), 10 km. The SKA1 train runs from the airport to Kraków Główny in 18–20 minutes, roughly every 30 minutes. From the station take a tram towards the Krowodrza Górka loop — 350 m from the clinic. About 35–40 minutes in total. By taxi it is around 10 km directly.

By rail
Kraków Główny is 2.3 km from the clinic; the tram towards Krowodrza Górka takes 15–20 minutes. Kraków Łobzów station is 890 m away, the Krowoderskich Zuchów bus stop 190 m.
By car
There is parking at the clinic and a park-and-ride at Krowodrza Górka. After the dilating drops you must not drive yourself for several hours.
Where to stay
These hotels are within walking distance or a few minutes’ drive of the clinic. We have no partnership with any of them and receive no commission — this is simply a reference point. Distances are straight-line, ratings from Google Maps, September 2026.

Staying near the clinic after surgery is worth it: the first check-up is usually the following morning.
Planning your stay
The qualification examination costs 400 zł and takes about 90 minutes. We discuss the result the same day — including when it means we will not operate. After the pupil-dilating drops you must not drive for several hours. The surgery date is set after the examination and planned around your travel.
