How to get to Ojców and Ojców National Park? You can reach Ojców by car, bus, public transport from Kraków or, during the tourist season, by selected recreational bus services. The best option depends on where you are travelling from, how much time you have and which part of the park you would like to visit.
Below you will find the most important travel information for individual visitors, families, cyclists, school groups and organised tours.
The easiest ways to reach Ojców
- by car – the most flexible option, especially for families and visitors planning several attractions,
- by public transport from Kraków – a good choice if you are travelling without a car,
- by bus or minibus – always check the exact route and final stop before departure,
- by bicycle – an attractive option for active visitors, but the route should be planned carefully.
What should you check before travelling?
Before travelling to Ojców, check the latest timetable, parking availability, weather conditions and the amount of time you would like to spend sightseeing. During busy weekends and the tourist season, it is particularly useful to decide in advance where you want to start your visit.
For school and organised groups: travel planning should include not only the route itself, but also the drop-off point, coach parking, transfer times and realistic walking time between attractions.

by Coach
There is currently no direct regional coach service to the centre of Ojców.
Regional buses and coaches from Kraków operate towards Skała, Czajowice and other nearby towns and villages. Before travelling, always check the current timetable, route and final stop.
Timetables and fares can be checked at: Małopolska bus timetable.
Before choosing a connection
- check whether the bus goes to Skała, Czajowice or another nearby village,
- check how far you will still need to walk or travel to reach Ojców,
- make sure there is a convenient return service,
- consider whether the connection is suitable for children, seniors or a larger group.
Tip: regional coach services can be useful when travelling to the area around Ojców, but for a full-day visit public transport from Kraków or travelling by car may be more convenient.
Coming with a school or organised group?
For coach trips, it is important to plan the drop-off point, coach parking and walking times between attractions. You can choose a ready-made programme or calculate an approximate trip cost.
by BUS
Travelling by minibus can be a convenient way to reach Ojców or nearby towns and villages. However, routes and timetables may vary depending on the operator and season.
Before departure, check exactly where the service terminates and how far the final stop is from the attractions you would like to visit.
Check before travelling
- whether the service goes directly to Ojców or only to a nearby village,
- where the final stop is located,
- how long the walk to the park or attractions will take,
- whether there is a convenient return service on the same day.
When is a minibus a good option?
Minibuses can work well for individual travellers, couples and visitors who do not want to drive and have a flexible sightseeing plan.
Important: if you have only a few hours in Ojców or are travelling with children, always check the return timetable before starting your trip.
Planning a school trip?
For school groups, a private coach with pre-planned logistics is usually more practical. See our ready-made programmes or use the trip calculator.

How to get from Kraków to Ojców by public transport
The easiest direct public transport option from Kraków to Ojców is the seasonal LR0 recreational bus. During the 2026 season, it connects Kraków directly with the Ojców Zamek stop in central Ojców, so there is no need for an additional transfer or a long walk into the village.
The simplest option: LR0
If the LR0 bus is operating on the day of your visit, it is the most convenient public transport connection from Kraków directly to Ojców.
LR0 bus – direct from Kraków to Ojców
The LR0 service starts at Os. Podwawelskie in Kraków and serves several useful stops, including:
- Rondo Grunwaldzkie,
- Jubilat,
- Muzeum Narodowe,
- Czarnowiejska,
- Miasteczko Studenckie AGH,
- Bronowice SKA,
- Rondo Ofiar Katynia.
After leaving Kraków, the bus continues through the Szyce, Biały Kościół and Czajowice area, then via Sąspów and Złota Góra to the final stop at Ojców Zamek.
The LR0 is a seasonal service and its operation may depend on weather conditions. For this reason, always check the current timetable and the latest ZTP Kraków information before travelling.
Check current LR0 information on the ZTP Kraków website →
Bus 310 – an alternative with a walk to the park
If LR0 is not operating, you can also consider bus 310 from Kraków towards Będkowice. The route runs through the Biały Kościół and Czajowice area.
Important: bus 310 does not enter the centre of Ojców. After leaving the bus, you need to continue on foot towards Ojców National Park.
This option is best for visitors who do not mind a longer walk and would like to enter the park from the Czajowice side.
Before travelling, check the current timetable, choose the correct stop and make sure you know the time of your return connection to Kraków.

LR0 or bus 310 – which option is better?
Choose LR0 if you want the simplest connection directly to Ojców. The bus takes you to the Ojców Zamek stop in the centre of the village.
Choose bus 310 if LR0 is not available and you are prepared to walk into the national park from the Czajowice side.
Once you arrive, it is worth having your sightseeing route planned in advance. See the map of Ojców and Ojców National Park before starting your walk.
