Krakow ground information

weather:

Generally speaking, the weather remains nice and warm from May through to September, and although blue skies and sunshine are normal, they can be broken up by showers and storms! Autumn can be surprisingly mild, with t-shirt weather lasting until October or sometimes even November. However, when big bad winter does settle in you'd best be prepared! January and February tend to be the coldest months, with hat, thick gloves and socks, all deemed essential! Whatever month you are heading to Poland, it’s always best to check the weather, meaning you’re fully prepared for your Krakow stag weekend.

getting around the city:
Many parts of Krakow are best seen on foot, but all but the keenest city walkers will need to use public transport to reach some of the cities major attractions. The big trick of taking taxis is to avoid taking one from the ranks on the street. You will pay up to 30% less if you order one by phone. This can lead to the bizarre sight of people with mobiles ringing whilst standing next to the taxi they wish to take! Please note that taxis cannot be hailed from the street whilst they are moving – if you do this, expect to be ignored! Another option is to use the cities trams and buses while on your Krakow stag do. All journeys cost the same, irrespective of distance. You will basically jump aboard the bus or tram and punch your little ticket in one of the little orange boxes. Be warned – always keep the stamped stub for the not so infrequent checks by plain-clothes inspectors.

money:
The currency in Poland is the Polish Zloty. The best option when away on your Krakow stag do is to use the cash machines and ATM’s, most of which offer all services in English. Rates are generally fair, though your bank will probably charge you a commission for each transaction. As in any major city, use the normal precautions when taking out money in a public place. If you are planning to use your credit card, don't assume that your hotel will take payment with this method, though things are steadily improving in this area. Cash is still king in Poland. Most shops and restaurants are switching to plastic - look out for Visa/Mastercard stickers (or lack thereof) on restaurant doors.
