But let's start from the beginning. When exploring a new city, securing your ideal accommodation is key to a memorable stay. Remember to plan and book your stay in advance to ensure the best rates and value. We've curated a Top 5 Accommodations by Type list, along with an interactive map for easy navigation. Our carefully selected options cater to various preferences and needs, ensuring a delightful experience during your visit. Afterwards, navigate to our Plan Your Trip in 10 Steps or Useful Information articles and anticipate any surprises related to visa requirements, currency, power sockets, or language. Ask yourself if you will need The Krakow Pass - to save money and skip the line at the main attractions, Luggage Storage - for a truly comfortable experience, or to Rent a Car - for added independence and flexibility. If you are traveling by plane, one of your concerns may be Krakow Airport's logistics solutions. Rest assured that Krakow Airport meets EU standards and provides excellent transport links to the city.
