Kazimierz

Kazimierz blends Jewish heritage with bohemian energy in Kraków's most character-filled district. Historic synagogues and the poignant Jewish Cemetery stand alongside artsy cafés and vintage boutiques. The cobblestone streets tell stories from 500 years of cultural history. Szeroka Square forms the neighborhood's heart, surrounded by museums and traditional Jewish restaurants. Vibrant street art adds contemporary flair to medieval buildings. Klezmer music often fills the air, creating a uniquely immersive atmosphere for history lovers and trend-seekers alike.

Kraków Old Town

Kraków Old Town captivates visitors with its medieval charm and UNESCO-protected treasures. The 13th-century Main Market Square buzzes with activity around the Gothic St. Mary's Basilica and Renaissance Cloth Hall. Narrow cobblestone streets reveal hidden courtyards and baroque facades steeped in Polish history. Wawel Castle crowns this historic district, offering royal chambers and cathedral tours just steps from the Vistula River. Traditional Polish restaurants serve hearty pierogi and kielbasa throughout the largely pedestrian zone. Museums, art galleries, and cultural events showcase the rich heritage that makes this area truly special.

Stradom

Sandwiched between Kraków's Old Town and Kazimierz, historic Stradom invites travellers to step back in time. Medieval architecture lines cobblestone streets where Gothic and baroque church spires dominate the skyline. Visitors can explore significant religious landmarks like the Bernardine Church and Monastery or the ornate Pauline Church on the Rock. The area offers a unique glimpse into Kraków's diverse cultural heritage. Wander along colourful Renaissance facades on Grodzka Street to discover small boutiques selling amber jewellery and local crafts. Enjoy traditional Polish cuisine in atmospheric medieval cellars before taking an evening stroll through well-lit historic streets.

Wesola

This peaceful residential area just outside Kraków's Old Town offers travellers a genuine taste of local Polish life. Tree-lined streets wind past a mix of traditional homes and communist-era apartments. Wesola provides an authentic, budget-friendly alternative to the touristy city centre. Well-connected by trams and buses, this area puts you just 15 minutes from Main Square. Small local cafes serve traditional Polish dishes at reasonable prices. After a day of sightseeing, you'll appreciate returning to this quiet retreat away from the crowds.

Podgorze

Across the Vistula River from Kraków's Old Town, historic Podgórze tells a powerful storey through its streets. Once a separate town and later the Jewish ghetto during WWII, this area balances sombre history with creative revival. Schindler's Factory and the haunting Ghetto Heroes Square memorial preserve crucial memories. The former industrial area now buzzes with artistic energy. MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art occupies converted factory spaces while quiet residential streets offer an authentic slice of local life. Riverfront paths provide peaceful escapes from the tourist crowds that fill Kraków's centre.

Betmanowska Main Square Residence Adults Only

Betmanowska Main Square Residence Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"The Betmanowska Main Square Residence is an optimal base for visiting Krakow. Every aspect of our four-day stay was superb. Karolina was exceptionally helpful in arranging airport pickup, tour, and other travel details. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and very quiet. The breakfasts were generous and delicious. They even provided sandwiches to take along for a tour with an early morning departure time. I easily recommend Betmanowska when visiting this beautiful city."

Metropolitan Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We have just returned for staying at the Metropolitan Boutique Hotel and had a great experience. The hotel is perfectly located for staying in Krakow being equidistant between the Old Town, Jewish Quarter and the Ghetto (they are not the same place). The room was spotless, the staff extremely helpful and friendly. It has a good bar and restaurant which a high standard of food. One thing I would recommend is dining their on your first night while you orientate yourself to the city. As a resident you receive a substantial discount and the food is both European and authentic Polish. One small observation was that they staff had muddled the salt (single hole) and pepper (three holes) table cruet sets which while amusing first time was irritating."

Hotel Europejski

10/10 Excellent
"It is a beautiful, old (built in the late 1800s), perfectly restored and maintained hotel. The amenities are modern. Excellent breakfast. The hotel is within 5 min walk to the train station and to the big shopping center- Galeria. You are also within 10 min of pretty walk from the Old Town. However, because of the location, rooms facing the Lubicz street will have some street car noise. It is not bad and the window shades help dampen in it. After the first night is stopped noticing it."

I believe sending instructions 24 hours before the arrival would make more sense to make it easier to find the property. I got the instructions the day of and because of the time difference and travel could not use them and had to look for the apartments. The instructions to find the property could be more accurate"

While we didn't have an outside window, we were on the 1st floor, and had access to the atrium, which gave us light. I would definitely stay here again!"
