Fly London to Krakow for just €46 return with Ryanair. The median price sits around €65, so there's room to find a bargain. A classic budget escape to Poland.
Price and when to book
Base price is €46 return per person. In our sample, fares ranged from €46 to €71. We checked on 22 October for November travel (outbound 10th, return 18th). Book early: Ryanair's low fares sell out fast. Don't leave it to the last minute if you want to keep costs down.
Airline and stops
Ryanair operates this route direct: no stops, point-to-point flight. That's a plus, you save time at airports and the journey is smoother. Ryanair is Europe's low-cost king, so these prices are typical for London-Krakow deals.
Best time to visit
November is solid: the price we saw was for those dates (10–18 Nov). Krakow shines in autumn and winter when masses of tourists leave. It's cold but the city is beautiful, and hotel and restaurant rates drop. Skip July–August if you want peace and quiet, and a better deal.
What to do when you arrive
You'll land at Krakow-Balice Airport (KRK), 15 km from the centre. The Main Market Square is essential: Unesco heritage, lined with galleries and cafés. Climb the Town Hall Tower for 360° views. Visit Wawel Cathedral, explore Kazimierz (the historic Jewish district) and eat pierniki (dumplings) everywhere. Three to four days gives you enough to see it all.
