Choose your
Krakow.
Krakow changes quickly from one neighbourhood to the next. Pick an area that fits the next few hours instead of treating the whole city as one long sightseeing route.
Different parts of Krakow work for different plans.
The counts below come from real places in the LiveKrakow database, assigned by their coordinates. Choose an area to jump directly to its places.
Old Town
Main Square, Planty, Wawel and the densest concentration of classic Krakow within an easy walk.
Kazimierz
A natural choice for cafés, restaurants, bars, Jewish heritage and moving between several places in one evening.
PodgĂłrze
Across the river from Kazimierz, with historical sites, local streets and a quieter rhythm than the centre.
Zabłocie
Museums, contemporary spaces, newer development and food around one of Krakow’s most visibly changing areas.
Nowa Huta
Broad avenues, monumental planning and a completely different urban scale from postcard Krakow.
