Arguably, May may be the loveliest month of the year in Krakow - the best months to visit are from April to October. Advance booking during these peak tourist times is recommended, even though there is an ever-increasing supply of accommodation options.

If it's festivals you're after, July is a great month to visit - anything and everything from street theatre to jazz. If you miss out on July's festivities, not to worry, Kraków has one of the richest cycles of annual events in Poland.

Weather

Kraków's winters are long and, depending on where you come from, verge on bitter. Things start picking up from mid- to late March, and the best months to visit, meteorologically speaking, are April to October. Summers can be quite wet - May may be the loveliest month of the year in Kraków, when mild temperatures, sunny weather and low rainfall coincide most felicitously.
