Weather in Krakow
Stick to the shoulder months to see the city at its best. Of course, if it weren’t for everyone else flocking in, the best time to visit Krakow would be the summer. Don’t discount winter though. A pop-up snowboard ramp adds a different dimension to the Christmas festivities.
Discover the real Krakow
The real Krakow is still here for all to see. UNESCO protected architecture is on every corner. But it runs deeper than preserving a few buildings. Traditions, recipes and culture are all celebrated and steadfastly upheld. But most of all, this city loves to embrace its bohemian side. Expect art and music and plenty of it.
Expect a ‘warts ’n’ all’ approach to history in this city. Krakow’s had much to deal with in recent times – and plenty more to dig into when you peel back the centuries. Sombre moments mingle with a high-tech approach to showcasing this city’s treasures. Castle walls, Christmas markets and contemporary art are on the must-see list.

More of Poland
At times, Poland feels like it’s been lifted straight from a fairytale. Explore magical castles surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Take in lungs full of clean fresh woodland air, feast on steaming bowls of stews and dumplings. See cities where gothic towers prick the horizon and churches glimmer with gilt and stained glass. Snap out of the romantic idyll and you’ll find there are periods of tragedy, but museums record them sensitively so we never forget.
