Guide to Krakow

map
One of the oldest cities in Poland, Krakow lies to the south of the country, on the Vistula River, at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains. It has a total population of 756,000 people living in its urban area, and is comprised of 18 districts in total. It's well known for its historic old town, a World Heritage Site, and for being Poland's second largest city. Don't neglect to walk the Royal Way, which traces many distinctive old sites from St Florian's Gate to Wawel Castle.

Local Transport

Many of the points of interest in Krakow are easily explored on foot, but for anything further afield there is a tram network. Getting to the centre from the airport (Balice) is easy with trains between the two every half hour. The journey takes just 20 minutes and costs 8 zloty.

 

Trams run from the centre (near the train station) to Kazimierz (which would be around a 20 minute walk otherwise) and out to Nova Huta.
