Panorama of Wawel castle in Krakow, Poland

Stradom

Stradom sits snug between Kraków's Old Town and Kazimierz, packed with medieval treasures that'll make history buffs swoon. Gothic church spires and colorful Renaissance facades create a photographer's dream along cobblestone streets. The Bernardine Monastery and Pauline Church on the Rock offer peaceful escapes with their ornate interiors and quiet cloisters. Restaurants tucked into historic cellars serve traditional Polish fare without Old Town prices. Boutique hotels in converted townhouses let you live like a local while staying connected. Hop on trams 1, 6, or 8 to explore, or simply walk—you're just 5 minutes from Old Town and 10 from Kazimierz.

St. Mary\'s Basilica which includes street scenes and a square or plaza

Kraków Old Town

Kraków Old Town sweeps you into a fairytale with its cobblestone streets and Gothic spires piercing the skyline. The UNESCO World Heritage site centers around the medieval Market Square, where St. Mary's Basilica and the Renaissance Cloth Hall draw crowds. Wawel Castle crowns the Vistula riverbank, while narrow streets reveal hidden courtyards and centuries of Polish history. Traditional restaurants serve pierogi and hearty stews throughout this largely pedestrian-only zone. Stay in boutique hotels housed in converted palaces or mid-range options in restored buildings. Getting around is easy on foot, with trams circling the perimeter and the main railway station just a 10-minute walk away.

Kazimierz

Kazimierz blends Jewish heritage with hipster energy in the heart of Kraków. Cobblestone streets lead to historic synagogues, vibrant street art, and the interactive Galicia Jewish Museum. The neighborhood buzzes with culture, from the ornate Remuh Synagogue to lively Szeroka Square where history feels alive beneath your feet. Jewish cuisine shines at traditional restaurants while craft beer pubs and quirky cafés line the streets. Boutique hotels in converted historic buildings put you steps from tram lines that reach Old Town in just five minutes. Most attractions sit within a 10-minute walk, making this medieval-meets-modern district perfectly navigable.

Nice views all over the region from this mound, 3km south of the city center. It's also the oldest man made structure in Krakow !

Podgorze

Podgorze offers a fascinating blend of Kraków's past and present just across the Vistula River. Wander through this historic district where oversized bronze chairs create a haunting memorial at Ghetto Heroes Square. Culture seekers flock to Schindler's Factory museum for immersive WWII exhibits and MOCAK's white galleries showcasing cutting-edge art. The cobblestone streets reveal a neighborhood that feels worlds away from tourist crowds. The dining scene mixes traditional Polish bistros with trendy cafés at prices that won't break the bank. Boutique hotels in converted industrial buildings and modern apartments make for character-filled stays. Trams connect you to Old Town in just 10-15 minutes, while walking paths along the Vistula provide peaceful riverside strolls with city views.

The Kraków Cloth Hall (Polish: Sukiennice), dates to the Renaissance and is one of the city's most recognizable icons. It is the central feature of the main market square in the Kraków Old Town (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978). #Krakow

Between cobblestones and spires, Main Market Square buzzes with life as horse-drawn carriages clip-clop past the Renaissance Cloth Hall. Inside, the Gallery of 19th Century Polish Art showcases national treasures worth lingering over. Wawel Castle looms magnificently on its hill – arrive early to avoid queues for the royal apartments and dragon's den below. After history overload, find respite in Jordan Park's greenery or splash at Park Wodny's pools. Town Hall Tower offers city views that explain why photographers crowd the square at golden hour.

"I would highly recommend this hotel. It is modern, stylish and clean. The room had a tablet to control the lighting etc. The restaurant provided us with excellent meals both for breakfast and dinner. There was free coffee and tea in the lobby. It is well placed to walk to local attractions. There is a lovely cafe there. A very positive experience and one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in."

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might help you save on your stay in a Kraków hotel. For travelers seeking something special, boutique hotels can provide a more personalized experience and occasionally better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll recommend more affordable dates that could help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying near major attractions or city centers can be convenient, but it often comes with a higher price tag. For more affordable options, you might want to look at hotels in less central neighborhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you plan to visit. You could also check out independent hotels a bit further out, as they usually tend to be more affordable and may offer a more authentic experience.
