Other than being told by friends and family that the sausages on Hala Tragowa at night were the best in Krakow, I only ever saw anything about them on Krakow’s Free Walking Tour Hidden Gems list. Plac Nowy, the heart of the district, is home to flea markets at the weekends with antiques, books and food stalls – grab a traditional zapiekanki (pizza breads packed with toppings) from one of the stands or holes-in-the-wall in the square.

Our only issue, and it is not a complaint but a suggestion to enhance the guide, would be to name the specific stop on the tram line for each tram and destination. From the Krakow Airport, there is a convenient airport train that goes to the main station for 14 PLN and runs every half hour.It is hidden away in a courtyard, so even though you are in the city center, you won’t be finding many tourists there. Kraków’s Old Town Square, otherwise known as Rynek Główny, is declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This has become one of these places my girlfriend and I can silently agree on going to by simply exchanging a look.

Ridesharing – Uber is available in Krakow and it’s the cheapest option if you need to get somewhere and don’t want to take public transit.

The city has a bunch to offer, and TripAdvisor will tell you about the castle, salt mines, and day tours to Auschwitz, so I will skip all of those.
