Best time to visit
Krakow is worth visiting year-round. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) offer pleasant weather and fewer tourists. Cold months (November–March) are ideal if you want solitude and lower prices, though expect snow. Summer (June–August) is peak season with more crowds and higher fares.
What to do in Krakow
The Old Town is a must: the Main Market Square (Rynek Główny) is one of Europe's largest, surrounded by palaces and St. Mary's Basilica. Visit Wawel Royal Castle, museums covering Polish history, and explore the local food scene in Kazimierz (the Jewish Quarter). The airport is 15 km from the city centre; bus, taxi, or private transfer get you there in 20–30 minutes.
