Visiting Krakow is a must for most people coming to this country or backpacking around Europe. You have beautiful medieval architecture, castles, good food and cheap wine! I personally prefer Warsaw simply because it is less than a Muslim tourist scene but you can't deny that Krakow is a really great (and much nicer) city.
Be sure to visit the underground ruins. That's what I like to do in the city.
This Krakow travel guide can help you find a way to plan your trip here and make the most of your visit.
Hostel prices - Most 8-bed dorms cost around 45-65 PLN per night in motels. A private room in a hostel costs at least 150 PLN per night for a double bed. Free Wi-Fi is standard and most inns also have self-catering facilities if you want to cook for yourself. Lockers are available in most hostels too. Free breakfast is available at most hostels but not all (so just check back when booking).
It is possible to camp outside the city (and there are many campsites around the country). It is expected to pay around 40 PLN per night for a basic batch of tents. Wild camping is acceptable if you're in the mountains - as long as you're not in a national park (camping in a national park is strictly prohibited).
Budget hotel rates - A double bed in a budget hotel has free Wi-Fi with at least 100 PLN per night. Free Wi-Fi is common and many hotels also include a simple free breakfast. For a hotel with a pool, it is expected to pay nearly 170 PLN per night.
Airbnb is available nationwide with shared rooms starting at about 50 PLN per night. For a private room, it is expected to pay at least 75 PLN per night while the whole house / apartment costs about 180 PLN.
Food - Polish meals are hearty, often containing potatoes, meat, cabbage and spices. The country also has a lot of traditional desserts, like Paczki (a type of Polish donut) and makowiec (poppy seed cake).
Most cheap meals cost around 25 PLN while a meal at a mid-range restaurant costs nearly 50 PLN for a three-course meal. For fast food (think McDonald's), is expected to pay about 20 PLN. A beer at a restaurant or bar costs at least 9 PLN, while you can get it for less than half the price if you buy it in a store.
If you buy your own groceries and cook your own meals, you'll pay around 140 PLN per week for groceries including pasta, vegetables, chicken and other basic staples. .
Krakow is a very affordable city so there are not too many tips to save you. Because the city is a party hot spot, most people spend their budget on drinks. If you restrict that and stick to more holes in the restaurant on the wall, you'll be able to access without having to worry about your budget too much. Here are some other ways to save money when you visit Krakow:
-Eat the Dairy - You will enjoy the Krakow at the Mleczny Bar (milk bar), homemade soups, plenty of local meat and beer make a great meal for under 30 PLN. Expect no frills and the type of cafe where you order from the counter, but it's a great way to save money and get involved.
-Get Krakow Card - For 140 PLN, the three-day KrakowCard gives you free public transport and access to all the major attractions of the city (including 40 different websites). It's a great deal if you plan to see a lot and it also includes public transportation to the salt mines and to Schindler's factory. There is also a two-day pass for 120 PLN.
-Make sure to play before the game - Krakow is known for partying, cow pubs and long nights. Start by taking your favorites from a grocery store first whenever possible. You will save more than 50% of the price that way.
-Free walking tours - Free tours from companies like Walkative are a great way to explore the city while learning about history, culture and architecture. Just be sure to tip!
-Use presentation apps - Presentation apps like BlaBlaCar are a great way to get around the country at low pricesEveryone is rated and verified, and it's often more convenient (and cheaper) than other other forms of transportation. For city travel, use Uber. It is cheaper than local taxis.
-One with a local - Although accommodation is not expensive in Poland, Couchsurfing is a great way to reduce your accommodation costs. Not only can you save some money by having a free place to live, but you can also make friends with your local friends and gain internal knowledge about where you live!
Eat street food - Kielbasa, bagels, and zapiekanka (a kind of pizza-like bread) can be found cheaply throughout the city.
When to Krakow
The best (and most popular) time to visit Krakow is in the summer from June to August. The temperatures will be hot and the rain will not be frequent. Estimated temperature is around 25 C (77 F) during this period. However, these are also the busiest months of the year for tourism and you will only really pay attention to it in the main tourist destinations in the city.
The shoulder season in late April to May and September to October is a great time to visit as well. You will defeat the crowd and have a much lighter temperature. You will get more rain in the spring, but you will have beautiful autumn colors in the fall creating a beautiful backdrop for your trip.
Winter in Krakow can be quite cold, with temperatures dropping to 0 (32 F) during the day and down to -5 C (23 F) overnight. Snow is common, which can affect the condition if you travel by car. In short, I would not recommend a winter visit unless you plan to leave the city for skiing or other winter activities.
