Depends on how formal you want to sound.
“Sabes” would be used if you want to sound informal, or if you’re asking someone about the same age as you or younger.
“Sabe” is more formal and is used for people older than you, or in a higher position than you (a police officer, for example)
I would advice using “sabe” regardless if you’re talking to strangers.

Both are correct.
«Sabes» is used informally and «sabe» is more polite/respectful.
That's because in Spain we've two personal pronouns for saying «you», «tú» and «usted».
Tú sabes (informal, use it when talking to friends or young people)
Usted sabe (formal, use it when talking to strangers or elder people)

Both are correct, but Sabe is for the pronoun “usted” and sabes for “tú”, if you don’t know the person is better to use: Sabe dónde está el aeropuerto?
