5/5 - Excellent

Because of the Corona virus we couldn't visit what we wanted to, but we will definitely come back as the city was beautiful & seemed very safe with plenty to do & lovely restaurants.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

We were there when all museums were shut then we had 24 hours notice to leave the country before the borders shut, so we had to stop our trip short. But otherwise it was fun!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Krakow especially the old town is beautiful! There are plenty things to see and plenty of places to eat! We stayed for 5 days but could easily see everything in 3!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Went for a short city break, Kraków is a lovely city we stayed in the old town just on the square. Location was good with easy walking to restaurants, shops, and other things of interest.
