The airport, named after John Paul II, is located 11 km west of the center of Krakow.

There are several parking lots at Gdansk Airport. Some of them are designed for short-term parking, where you will have to pay not even by the hour: from 10 minutes to an hour, the price of parking will increase from 3 zlotys (26 UAH) to 18 zlotys (156 UAH).
