Recommendation
For the fastest and most comfortable option, I recommend booking a direct flight with Lufthansa or LOT Polish Airlines, taking you from Kraków to a major hub and then connecting to a final flight. However, if you wish to explore along the way and are travelling on a budget, consider the train-bus combo. It allows for more sightseeing opportunities and is quite economical.
