I've got my ticket to this Friday's Sacrum Profanum concert in Krakow, and I'm weighing up my transport options:

a) Drive: 4 hours each way, minimum, in Friday evening traffic. Exhausting and expensive, considering the fuel economy of my car. But it means I can return whatever time I like

b) Train: quick, although the concert is nowhere near the train station. But I can relax, not have to concentrate on the trip, and it's cheaper. But there's no return train after the gig; first train leaves Krakow Glowny at 5:30am, so I'd have to occupy myself for those hours or try and sleep at the train station (not worth finding a hotel just for three-four hours.)

Are there any other options here that I'm missing? Night buses? I'd hitch-hike, but I don't fancy my chances at 1am...

Didn't mention; I plan to make use of my Saturday, so I don't want to stay in Krakow a minute longer than I have to. It's just a balance of how-soon-can-I-leave to how-exhausted-will-it-make-me.

I've only used Polish buses for going from Krakow to Krynice in the winter; that was a painfully slow journey. Does anyone have any good experiences they can relate on intercity bussing?

Merged thread:
Getting to Krakow from Warsaw Airport

I am traveling to Krakow in December and would like to know the easiest and quickest way to get to Krakow from Warsaw airport. Is it best to take a train from Warsaw central station or is there a better way directly from the airport to Krakow?

Train from Warszawa central. Take the intercity train and don't forget to book a seat otherwise it standing all the way.
