Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Kraków

112 stays · 76 aparthotels and 36 serviced apartments

Kraków is compact enough to explore on foot, yet most visitors also plan day trips to the Wieliczka salt mine or to Auschwitz, so a few nights quickly become a week. Aparthotels and serviced apartments in Kraków suit that pattern: you get a kitchen for early starts, space to dry coats in winter, and room for families or groups travelling together.

The medieval centre is built around the Main Market Square, described as the largest medieval market square in Europe, with the Cloth Hall at its centre. The Royal Way leads south to Wawel Castle, and the Planty park circles the whole district.

Getting around Kraków

Kraków Airport lies at Balice, about 11 km west of the centre. Trains run to Kraków Główny in roughly 17 to 20 minutes and continue to Wieliczka, and public buses run day and night to the main station.

The city's trams and buses are run by MPK, with time-based and 24-hour tickets that you validate on boarding. Most sights are easily covered on foot, either through the Planty or along the Royal Way to Wawel. Wieliczka is about 17 km away and reachable by public transport; Auschwitz, about 65 km away, needs a full day.

Living in Kraków for longer

Kraków is a university city, home to the Jagiellonian University, founded in 1364, so the districts around the centre have a steady supply of cafés and everyday shops. A base in Kazimierz, Podgórze or Kleparz gives a more local routine than the Old Town while keeping everything walkable.

When to visit Kraków

Kraków has a humid continental climate: winter nights average a few degrees below freezing and snow is common, while summer highs average around 25°C. Late spring and early autumn are comfortable for walking.

The Kraków Film Festival runs in May, the Jewish Culture Festival fills Kazimierz in June and July, and Wianki brings midsummer concerts and fireworks by the river. The Christmas market occupies the Main Market Square from late November through December.

The Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978, is ringed by the Planty park, and most neighbourhoods worth staying in are within walking distance of it. Kraków pairs well with Warsaw or Zakopane on a longer trip through Poland.
