Krakow is a place of beauty. From its perfectly preserved Medieval structures to its rich history, it’s no wonder it’s one of Poland’s most visited cities. Despite its age, Krakow has a youthful vibe, with a line-up of restaurants, bars and cultural spots making it the perfect destination for your next city break.
Fly to Krakow with British Airways and start your tour at Rynek Glowny, the city’s Medieval market square. Here you can visit the magnificent Cloth Hall and Town Hall Tower. Make sure you climb the tower’s 110 steps to enjoy sweeping views of the city. Then take in Krakow’s royal past along the Vistula River and visit the Wawel Castle, where you can enjoy a guided tour. After, you can visit the neighbouring Wawel Cathedral and explore its magnificent structure. Head south to Kazimierz and discover the district’s Jewish history by calling in at the museums inside the striking Old Synagogue and Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory.

You can make your trip to Krakow fit any budget. From researching which days are cheaper to visit its attractions to using its affordable public transport network and eating and drinking like the city’s locals, you can make the most of your stay while sticking to your budget.
Once you land in John Paul II International Airport Krakow-Balice you can catch a bus or a taxi into the city centre from outside the terminal building. Your journey should take approximately 40 minutes.
