Kraków

Europe's largest medieval square

A city of Poland

Full guideLast updated: 11/07/2026

🗓️ Best time to visit

April–June and September–October; summer is busy but bearable.

📸 Top activities & landmarks

  • The great square, Cloth Hall, St. Mary's
  • Wawel castle and its dragon
  • The astonishing Wieliczka salt mine
  • The Auschwitz memorial (prepare yourself)

🏨 Where to stay

Old town or Kazimierz; prices stay kind even in season.

⚠️ Tips & warnings

Book Wieliczka and Auschwitz days ahead — they sell out. European stag crowds own the square on Friday/Saturday nights; family lodging is better off its corners.
