Holidays in Krakow

Streets of Krakow at night, with horse drawn carriage.
 

Krakow holidays always feature the awe-inspiring Wawel Castle. After crown jewels and crypts, explore the cobbled streets around Rynek Glowny, Krakow's main square, and the Jewish quarter, Kazimierz. These districts later introduce classy French cuisine or Polish fast food to your Krakow holiday.

Sightseeing on holidays in Krakow

Begin your Krakow holiday at the last of the city gates, Florianska, and walk the Royal Way towards Wawel Castle. Wander Rynek Glowny, Krakow's massive main square pinpointed by the twin towers of St Mary's Basilica, and featuring Krakow's Sukiennice Market. Exploring the Wawel could take all your holiday in Krakow, but press on and explore the gradually resurging Jewish side of Krakow life in evocative Kazimierz.

Dining on holidays in Krakow

What's a Krakow holiday without traditional pierogi dumplings and a zapienka open baguette? Experiment with a budget mleczny milk bar for Polish canteen favourites or modern fusion at a smart Rynek Glowny eatery. While Kazimierz and Podgorze boast Krakow's cheaper dining options, the quality is rising there. Don't avoid hotel restaurants on your Krakow holiday as they are some of the best.

Nightlife on holidays in Krakow

Wander the character-filled streets around Plac Nowy in Kazimierz and descend into one of Krakow's quirky bars and clubs. Or, for chic holidays in Krakow, choose from various classy cellar restaurants that later morph into bars on Old Town cobbled streets. Whatever your Krakow nightlife choice, toast your Krakow holiday with bison grass vodka.

Daytrips on holidays in Krakow

Holidays in Krakow should include the nine-floor walked descent into the massive UNESCO-listed Wieliczka Salt Mine. For historical poignancy, explore the exhibits at Auschwitz and the infamous railway terminus at Birkenau. For rural pursuits, holiday in Bledowska Desert or the bat caves in Ojcow National Park, both within 25 miles of Krakow.
