Although there are many places to explore, you can see the most important sights and attractions in just 3 days . For your convenience, I’ve prepared a 3-day plan for you, so you can get the most out of your time spent in Krakow.
Prague can be a very cheap city to visit but it can also be very expensive . It depends where you pull out your wallet. Because there are so many tourists and almost all of them visit the same few sites, it is just good business sense for a shop or restaurant owner to raise their prices and collect as much as they can.
In general, Warsaw is a larger city that is more spread out and cosmopolitan. Krakow , on the other hand, is much more compact but still gets the bulk of the tourist attention. While Warsaw is larger and more sophisticated, most foreign visitors go to Krakow , the most popular tourist destination in Poland.
Almost all attractions in Krakow are affordable so it won’t hurt your budget to see a few different things. Be sure to check out Plac Nowy, which is brimming with flea markets and antique bazaars. The most expensive attraction for most people is the Auschwitz tour (it’s worth the money).
If you are short on time, Prague will be the better choice seeing as it’s a smaller, walkable city with better day trip options. If you have a little more time and happen to love food, Budapest will give you a few more options to fill your days, plus, the thermal spas are world-class.
Budapest is larger and more expensive than Krakow . Both cities offer plenty of popular attractions at low prices or entirely for free. Local food and drink are cheap by European standards as well, making both Budapest and Krakow amazing holiday destinations for every budget.
Prague is bigger so it gets more tourists as it’s not only a wonderful city but also a capital. Krakow is smaller so easier to navigate but don’t expect it to be quiet – it’s the most touristy place in Poland and there are many reasons for that!
