The picturesque streets of the Kazimierz district have Jewish-themed restaurants, bookstores and small shops. Stylish cafés can be found all over the city and trendy restaurants serve delicious polish cuisine. Upscale bars and exciting clubs are the center of Krakow’s vibrant nightlife.

If you want to get away for a day, make sure you see the stunning Wieliczka Salt Mine, built in the 13th century and featuring an entire altar carved out of rock salt! Or breathe some fresh air in Poland’s highest mountains, the Tatras, just a short drive from Kraków.

    Old town market area was simply amazing. The architecture was a thing of beauty, and there is definitely something for everyone. A short drive away from the Auschwitz Camp and Poland's biggest salt mine, both of which should be toured if you go.

    I was new to Krakow when I arrived.

    I was new to Krakow when I arrived. From the moment I met my taxi driver until I left Kraków on the train, I felt at ease in the city. I went for many evening walks and found that the city felt very safe. I attended a couple of concerts while there, and visited many of the recommended sites around the city. I was very surprised by the relaxed feel to Krakow, and will definitely return. My accommodation at Dietla 99 apartments was just right for my trip, close to all amenities and within walking distance of a lot of the city's attractions. I can only recommend Kraków as a destination to place on your bucket list.

    We liked the little coffee shops and hidden bars in the alleyways. The main square is too touristy, the side streets are better for places to eat and drink, and prices are lower. Do not like the horse drawn carriages, the horses don’t stop, they are not given water no matter how hot it is and they look exhausted and broken in their eyes!!! I would never pay to do this, these horses suffer for tourism and it needs stopping!!!! Pod Wawalem is a great place to eat and drink due to the nice atmosphere and good food! The home made lemon vodka is amazing! The British stag do’s ruin what is such a beautiful city.

    the old town is excellent, vibrant and busy but such a lovely area. if you've never been then I highly recommend a visit, or two! food and drinks are relatively cheaper than the uk. a litre of lager around 6 pounds, premium spirits somewhat dearer. food is extremely good value and again cheaper than the uk. there are the usual tours on hand but booking before you go can save but best to compare. we had changes to our tour plans so always best to stay on top of last minute messages and texts but all said a lovely busy three day break, check out Harris piano bar in the main square, just as I remember it 16 years ago( but ill swear it had moved)! 6/6-50

    Great location, fantastic staff, warm & cozy bed. Kettle & espresso machine with free bottle of water, tea and coffee pods are provided everyday. Close to the Old town and the Wawel Castle. I had an issue with the Auschwitz- Birkenau & Salt mine tour which I booked through the hotel but the receptionist ( I was not able to get her name ✌🏻) was kind enough & did her best to solve it. And a box of chocolates was waiting for me in my room after the incident. So sweet gesture. I highly appreciate it!

    We absolutely loved staying here the hotel is exceptional. Very modern, free hot drinks in reception is a great gesture. We booked the suite and it was incredible. Floor to ceiling windows in both rooms and an amazing bath tub. It’s a short tram from the centre or an even quicker Uber, so staying a little further from the old town makes no difference. Would highly recommend and will be back when visiting Krakow again.

The room we had was amazing with a balcony, which would be amazing in the summer time! The hotel is located outside of Krakow city centre, however I preferred this, as you were away from all the noise, plus the trams come every 5-10 minutes and are very cheap. I'd highly recommend this hotel!
