Accommodation

Kraków

If you plan to spend a few days in Kraków, we can suggest some places or advise on areas to avoid. Most of the city is easy to explore on foot or by tram, so you can pack a lot into your stay. Staying close to The Planty, the green belt around the Old Town, is a great base for exploring the city's top sights.

The Old Town is stunning but can be noisy and pricey. For a more vibrant atmosphere, check out Kazimierz, the historic Jewish district known for its amazing restaurants, bars, and lively ambiance.
