Kraków and related destinations

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. Little Market Square provides a quieter alternative when the main plaza overwhelms. For evening entertainment, cellar restaurants serve pierogi beneath medieval vaulted ceilings, often with live folk music.

10/10 Excellent
"Bedroom and hotel very clean, beds comfortable. All the staff very cheerful and helpful. Location excellent beside tram stop. Couple of tram stops from main train station in Krakow and to the old town. Paid for breakfast as part of booking, had good variety of food. Only down side was lack of labelling which I appreciate as someone with food allergies as means I don’t have to speak to the kitchen. Would stay again"
