Krakow City Guide

Plan Your Night

Krakow After Dark

Krakow is one of the easiest cities in Europe to enjoy at night. The Old Town is compact, and most of the bars, restaurants and clubs in these guides are a short walk from the Main Square. Kazimierz, the old Jewish quarter just south of the Old Town, is the second big nightlife area and only a short walk or taxi ride away.

Getting in from the airport

Train: the SKA1 line is the fastest option, reaching the main railway station (Kraków Główny) in 17 minutes.
Taxi: a fixed zone fare of 89 PLN to the Old Town, from the rank at the terminal.
Uber or Bolt: usually 50-70 PLN for the 20-30 minute ride.

Royal Island is at ul. Św. Jana 8, a two-minute walk from the Main Square, so it fits into any route through the Old Town. Entry is free, and private dances come in fixed packages from 770 PLN for 15 minutes, with the price confirmed before every session.
