Things to Do in Kraków: Must-See Attractions and Experiences

Kraków is a captivating city with deep historical roots, culture, and legend. Wander through its medieval streets, and discover royal castles, Jewish quarters, underground museums, and scenic views of the Vistula River. From the beauty of the Old Town to day trips in the surrounding countryside, a visit to Kraków promises to be a surprising and memorable experience.

6 Things to Do in Kraków:

1. Visit Wawel Castle and Cathedral A symbol of Poland’s royal heritage, this Renaissance-style castle overlooks the city from Wawel Hill. Step inside to uncover centuries of history and the famous legend of the Wawel Dragon. Just nearby, the impressive Kraków Cathedral, home to royal tombs and stunning artworks, is another must-see.

2. Explore the Old Town and Market Square Kraków’s UNESCO-listed Old Town is a beautiful blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Don’t miss St. Mary’s Basilica, the historic Cloth Hall (Sukiennice), and the vast Market Square (Rynek Główny), where you’ll find art galleries, cafés, and lively street performers.

3. Discover the Kazimierz District Once the heart of Kraków’s Jewish community, Kazimierz is now a vibrant neighbourhood full of historic synagogues, street art, and alternative bars and cafés. It’s perfect for those looking for culture, history, and an authentic local vibe.

4. Visit Schindler’s Factory Museum Dedicated to World War II and the Holocaust, this museum tells the story of life under Nazi occupation. Originally a factory producing enamelware, it was later used for ammunition production and is now a powerful memorial to the efforts made to save hundreds of Jews from the concentration camps.

5. Go Underground in Kraków Beneath the Market Square lies the Rynek Underground Museum—an interactive journey through medieval remains, old merchant stalls, and immersive exhibits. It’s a fascinating stop for all ages, especially families with kids.

6. Cruise the Vistula River Unwind with a boat ride on the Vistula, the river that flows through the heart of Kraków. Enjoy views of Wawel Castle, historic bridges, and charming riverside neighbourhoods from a new perspective. Kayak tours and romantic sunset cruises are also available.

What Can You See Around Kraków?

Some of the most beautiful day trips from Kraków include:

  • Wieliczka Salt Mine – Just 30 minutes from the city, this UNESCO World Heritage Site features underground chapels carved entirely from salt and a maze of stunning tunnels.

  • Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum – About an hour and a half away, this powerful and moving site offers a deep reflection on the history of the Holocaust.

  • Tarnów – A charming Renaissance town located 40 minutes to an hour from Kraków. A perfect family-friendly destination for a relaxed day trip.

  • Ojców National Park – Only 40–50 minutes away, this scenic park is ideal for nature lovers, with walking trails that pass by castles, caves, and dramatic limestone rock formations.

Is 3 days in Krakow enough?

Three days are enough to visit Kraków’s main attractions, including the Old Town, Kazimierz, Wawel Hill, the city’s museums, and walks along the Vistula River. With four or five days, you can explore the city at a more relaxed pace and even add a day trip to the surrounding region. And if you have a full week, you’ll have time for two or three excursions outside the city while still enjoying everything Kraków has to offer. You certainly won’t get bored!

How to have fun in Krakow?

Kraków is an energetic city full of young people, events, and buzzing nightlife. The evenings come alive with Kazimierz’s bars, craft beer pubs, and alternative venues. For something a little different, try a Vistula River cruise, a guided bike tour, a ride in a golf cart, or a visit to one of the city’s interactive museums like MOCAK or the Pinball Museum. With affordable prices and a laid-back vibe, Kraków is a perfect destination for students and groups of friends.

Dos and don'ts in Kraków?

What to Do: 

  • Visit major historical sites like Wawel Castle, the Old Town, and the Jewish Quarter. 

  • Try traditional Polish dishes such as pierogi and żurek (a sour rye soup). 

  • Be respectful at memorial sites like Auschwitz. 

  • Learn a few words in Polish — greeting people with “Dzień dobry” (good day/hello) is often warmly appreciated by locals. 

What Not to Do: 

  • Don’t speak loudly or behave disrespectfully in churches or at memorials. 

  • Avoid drinking alcohol in the street or in public spaces — it’s prohibited by law. 

  • Don’t take photos of monuments or memorials without first checking for signs that forbid it.
