Faq?
You’ll need Polish Zloty in Krakow (not Euros). That said if you’ve travelled from another European country, you’ll be able to change your currency there. Or you can visit one of the city’s hundreds of ATMs.
Although Krakow has a wealth of public transport options, from buses to the picturesque trams which rattle through the town, most things are so close by that you’ll be able to walk.
With hundreds of bars and restaurants in the Old Town and Kazimierz, Krakow has a vibe to suit everyone. While some streets are very busy and noisy after dark, this isn’t the case across the whole city.
The staff in most bars and restaurants will speak English. If you get stuck elsewhere, Krakow has a large student population a lot of whom speak English and are often willing to help. It’s usual that if you’re stuck someone nearby will be able to help you.
