Transport over Christmas period

Everything runs over the holidays, but on a less-frequent schedule, although, I don't know if the shuttle train between the airport and center run on less-frequent schedules or not. Normally they run on 15 minute schedules, but may run only once every 30 or one an hour on this sort of holiday. Trains will be running as well. If you can read Polish, the web site for Krakow's public transportation is: http://www.mpk.krakow.pl/ Polish National Trains: http://rozklad-pkp.pl/?q=en/node/143 (and there should be English as an option there)

For some info. about the tramway from/to Balice airport, I found the link with timetables: http://www.przewozyregionalne.pl/img_in//regiony/malopolskie/RozkladBalice20100913.pdf But I think trams will be less frequent at this period of the year, even if nothing about this is mentionned on any of websites(www.przewozyregionalne.pl and www.krakowairport.pl) But there are also private mini buses,and public big buses. Hope it helps. Ogrodygorskie.pl from Zakopane

Thank you very much for the information, you have been a great help. You mentioned that the bus runs on the 25th December, did you notice if it runs 26th December as that is when we will be travelling to Zakopane? (I have tried to look on the website but unfortunately I don't speak Polish!) Thanks again, Shell X
