Warum Krakau Besuchen

Incredible Value for Money: Enjoy a three-course meal with wine for under €25 per person, stay in a charming boutique hotel for a fraction of Western European prices, and take affordable public transport everywhere. Your Polish Zloty goes far, allowing for more experiences.

Vibrant Nightlife and Cultural Pulse: From the legendary student pubs in the cellars of the Old Town to the trendy cocktail bars in Kazimierz, the city buzzes after dark. Experience the unique vibe of a 'pijalnia wódki i piwa' (vodka and beer hall) for cheap shots and lively crowds, or catch a jazz performance in a historic vault.

A Perfectly Preserved Medieval Core: Walk through the Florian Gate and along the Royal Route to the Main Market Square, a UNESCO World Heritage site that has been the city's commercial and social heart since the 13th century. Explore the underground museum beneath the square, which reveals the original medieval merchant stalls and streets.
