Hotels in Krakow

For many visitors, the heart of Poland beats in its former royal capital. Krakow’s Main Market Square, one of Europe’s largest medieval town squares, is anchored by the Cloth Hall and St. Mary’s Basilica, where a trumpet call echoes from the tower every hour. The city’s history is profound, from the grand chambers of Wawel Castle to the sobering, essential visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial. After dark, the cobbled lanes of Kazimierz, the historic Jewish quarter, fill with the sounds of lively pubs and intimate cellar jazz bars.

The city is compact and very walkable, making nearly all central districts a great base. Stare Miasto, the Old Town, is ideal for first-time visitors wanting to be steps from the major sights, while the quieter streets of Kazimierz offer more local character and fantastic dining. Krakow works well for nearly everyone: history buffs, couples on a city break, solo travelers drawn to its social hostels, and even business travelers attending conferences at the ICE complex. The city is well-connected, with an efficient tram system and an international airport just a short train ride away.
