Krakow Travel FAQs
Is Krakow safe?
Krakow is a place where you can walk at night or day. There is some danger of pickpockets, but normal precautions are enough. ATMs are everywhere, so you need to carry very little cash.
What restaurants will I find in Krakow?
Good restaurants and various other eateries that offer quality food are found throughout the city. Yet Krakow’s historical Old Town central district seems virtually stuffed with establishments catering to all kinds of diners. Here, within easy walking distance, one discovers hundreds of restaurants, cafes, bistros, grills, pizzerias, salad bars, etc. They are lodged in every available space of the area’s old palatial residences and stately burgher houses; upstairs, downstairs, and – probably most willingly – in those vast ancient cellars. No doubt, the exquisite and picturesque period interiors are a premium. And from springtime through autumn restaurant tables take up the streets and squares of the mostly pedestrian precinct as well as backyards turned gardens.
Can I find cheap lodgings in Krakow?
Many visitors to Krakow opt for a hostel or bed and breakfast or another low-cost lodging. The city presents a whole range of temporary accommodation arrangements; from boutique hotels to boarding houses to dorms to a room in a family apartment.
What's the best way to get around Krakow?
With most landmarks within easy walking distance from one another, the best way to enjoy the central Krakow is on foot. The more so that the bulk of the city’s historic area has been practically turned into a pedestrian precinct. But you can also roam the Old Town and Kazimierz historic districts driven in a horse cab, an electric cart with a taped guide, or a bicycle rickshaw. One may also take a tour of Krakow in a double-decker bus.
