Kraków

Handy & cheap

Kleparz

5 min · 1 km from the centre

Just north of the Old Town by the main station and the old market hall — unglamorous but handy, with the airport train, buses to Auschwitz and the Tatras, and the best-value beds in the city. Five minutes' walk to the square, and where the locals actually shop.
