Airline and stopovers
Air Serbia operates this route with 1 stopover on the outbound flight. Our example departure is 6 December at 15:05 from Zurich, and the return is 16 December at 11:00 from Krakow. A stopover is typical for this connection and extends travel time, but the price makes it worthwhile if you're watching your budget.
Best time to visit
Krakow is lovely year-round. Winter (December–February) is cold but atmospheric, with fewer tourists in the Old Town. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) bring mild weather and parks in full bloom. Avoid August if you prefer smaller crowds. Prices tend to be more competitive outside peak holidays.
What to do when you arrive
Krakow airport (John Paul II) is 15 km from the city centre. Explore the Main Market Square, Wawel Castle, the Kazimierz Jewish quarter, and the Wieliczka Salt Mine. Try piernik (traditional cake) and zurek (rye soup). The city is compact and easy to explore on foot or by local transport.
