Kraków Old Town

Kraków Old Town sweeps you into a fairytale with its cobblestone streets and Gothic spires piercing the skyline. The UNESCO World Heritage site centers around the medieval Market Square, where St. Mary's Basilica and the Renaissance Cloth Hall draw crowds. Wawel Castle crowns the Vistula riverbank, while narrow streets reveal hidden courtyards and centuries of Polish history. Traditional restaurants serve pierogi and hearty stews throughout this largely pedestrian-only zone. Stay in boutique hotels housed in converted palaces or mid-range options in restored buildings. Getting around is easy on foot, with trams circling the perimeter and the main railway station just a 10-minute walk away.

Kazimierz

Kazimierz blends Jewish heritage with hipster energy in the heart of Kraków. Cobblestone streets lead to historic synagogues, vibrant street art, and the interactive Galicia Jewish Museum. The area buzzes with culture, from the ornate Remuh Synagogue to lively Szeroka Square where history feels alive beneath your feet. Jewish cuisine shines at traditional restaurants while craft beer pubs and quirky cafés line the streets. Boutique hotels in converted historic buildings put you steps from tram lines that reach Old Town in just five minutes. Most attractions sit within a 10-minute walk, making this medieval-meets-modern district perfectly navigable.

Stradom

Stradom sits snug between Kraków's Old Town and Kazimierz, packed with medieval treasures that'll make history buffs swoon. Gothic church spires and colourful Renaissance facades create a photographer's dream along cobblestone streets. The Bernardine Monastery and Pauline Church on the Rock offer peaceful escapes with their ornate interiors and quiet cloisters. Restaurants tucked into historic cellars serve traditional Polish fare without Old Town prices. Boutique hotels in converted townhouses let you live like a local while staying connected. Hop on trams 1, 6, or 8 to explore, or simply walk—you're just 5 minutes from Old Town and 10 from Kazimierz.

The Kraków Cloth Hall (Polish: Sukiennice), dates to the Renaissance and is one of the city's most recognizable icons. It is the central feature of the main market square in the Kraków Old Town (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978). #Krakow

Between cobblestones and spires, Main Market Square buzzes with life as horse-drawn carriages clip-clop past the Renaissance Cloth Hall. Inside, the Gallery of 19th Century Polish Art showcases national treasures worth lingering over. Wawel Castle looms magnificently on its hill – arrive early to avoid queues for the royal apartments and dragon's den below. After history overload, find respite in Jordan Park's greenery or splash at Park Wodny's pools. Town Hall Tower offers city views that explain why photographers crowd the square at golden hour.

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Kraków. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value.

  4. Consider your location: Choosing to stay nearer to key attractions or city centres can provide convenience, but it often comes with higher expenses. For more affordable options, you might consider hotels located in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit.
