A castle with a fire-breathing dragon, an underground salt mine and great value. Here's what Kraków is like with the family, when to go and how long to stay.
The EU is bringing in new entry checks, so check the rules on GOV.UK before you book.
May to September is warm and lively, with outdoor cafés on the main square. December brings one of Europe's best-value Christmas markets. January and February are very cold.
Walk the grounds for free, then find the dragon statue that breathes real fire.
One of Europe's biggest squares, with horse-drawn carriages and a trumpet call every hour.
Underground chambers and chapels carved from salt, 30 minutes away.
Poland's biggest theme park, about an hour away, with rides for all ages.
The old Jewish quarter, with street food, markets and cafés.
A gentle hour on the river below the castle.
Yes. It's compact, safe and very good value, with a lot to see in a small area. The dragon legend is a hit with younger children.
Three or four nights covers the city and a trip to the salt mine.
No, British passport holders can visit for up to 90 days in any 180 without a visa. New EU entry checks are being brought in, so check GOV.UK before you travel.
The memorial is about 90 minutes away. It isn't recommended for under-14s, so most families with younger children leave it out or have one adult go alone.
Put Kraków on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
