Absolutely loved everything. The food. The scenery. The clean streets. The river. The Christmas decorations. The cathedral. The palace. I liked Auschwitz for history. There is lots to do and see. You could do it really cheap and it’s cheap when you’re there. Lots of tours too!

I visited Krakow twice and both times I wasn't disappointed. It may be that I'm from the CZ (and PL is similar) but I always felt at home & safe. The people were nice & the sights were beautiful in this historic place. I highly recommend visiting the museum of Schindler's Factory especially if you like history, Wieliczka salt mines and the historical city centre. The food here is typical Slavic/central European cuisine but there's also plenty of restaurants which offer various other meals. We got around by car which was kinda long so if you can, park near the centre and go on foot, even walking through the city is a beautiful experience 😍❤️🇵🇱
Posted: July 3, 2025Experienced: August, 2024It was really safe as two women with my friend. We really liked how people minded their own business the whole time lol. You can see ancient places, if you like museums a lot(especially aviation) I recommend you to go see Kraków. We went there by train from Rzeszów for just 20 zł as students! Highly recommend!!!!!

I spent very little money. I flew to Katowice and then took the transportation from the airport to Krakow city where I stayed overnight in a hostel for two nights. I attended a free walking tour that was very interesting and booked the visit in the salt mines, something amazing!

Krakow is a really nice city to do all kinds of stuff from laying on the beach ( you should visit zakrzówek) to going clubbing (just go to the old town there is a lot of pubs and clubs) You should try "obwarzanek" and pierogis. If you have a lot of time you can go to polish Mountain (zakopane) or visit some historical places like aushitz-birkenau.

I am now working as a intern in krakow. It's my first days, so I am not completely aware of the safety but for now it is really safe. I did not come across any harassment or any other uncomfortable stuffs
Posted: July 11, 2025It is a safe city, but especially as a woman you need to be careful when it’s dark outside! Don’t go alone, but besides that it is rly safe city<3 One of my favorites in Europe and Poland. When I’m going at night with my friend I’m not afraid
