Gastronomy: Delicious Discoveries

Whether filled with meat, cheese, potato, or fruit, these little pockets of goodness are a must-try. For something heartier, indulge in a plate of traditional Polish żurek soup, a sour rye soup often served with sausage and a boiled egg. And of course, no visit to Krakow is complete without sampling oscypek, a smoked sheep's cheese unique to the region.

For those with a sweet tooth, be sure to try a slice of sernik, a Polish cheesecake made with cream cheese or twaróg. Wash it all down with a glass of Żubrówka, a Polish vodka infused with bison grass, or a refreshing pint of locally brewed beer. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not sample some traditional Polish pickled cucumbers or herring served with onions and pickles?

So get ready to tantalize your taste buds and experience the rich flavors of Krakow's culinary scene. And remember, as we journey through the city, we'll be sure to point out some of the best spots to grab a bite according to Google's users' recommendations. Bon appétit!

Transportation and getting around the city

When you land at Krakow Airport, you've got a couple of options to get into the city. If you're looking for convenience, hop on the train that'll whisk you right into the heart of Krakow in about 20 minutes. Alternatively, there are buses and taxis available outside the terminal.

Once you're in the city, public transport is the way to go. Krakow's tram and bus network is pretty extensive and easy to navigate. You can grab tickets from vending machines at most stops or from kiosks around the city.

If you prefer to explore on foot, Krakow's Old Town is perfect for wandering around. It's compact, pedestrian-friendly, and packed with historic sites and charming streets to explore.

For a more guided experience, consider hopping on one of the tour buses that loop around the city's main attractions. It's a convenient way to see the sights without having to worry about navigating the streets yourself.

As for getting around by taxi, they're readily available in Krakow, but make sure to use reputable companies or apps to avoid any surprises with fares.

Now, onto some practical travel tips. The local currency in Poland is the Polish złoty (PLN), and while many places do accept cards, it's always handy to have some cash on hand, especially for smaller purchases or at street markets.

Finally, if you're bringing any electronics, remember that Poland uses Type C and Type E electrical sockets, so make sure you've got the right adapters handy to keep your devices charged up and ready to go.
