Kazimierz

For some of the best nightlife in the city, you can’t beat Kazimierz – the city’s former Jewish quarter. With a vibrant mix of culture and bohemian charm, there are plenty of gems to discover when it comes to the Kazimierz cafes and basement bars. 

With some of the best atmosphere and nightlife in the city, you’re sure to have a good time staying a night or two in Kazimierz.  

 

Grzegórzki 

Located just off Planty Park, Grzegórzki offers a great central location without breaking the bank. With a flea market, 18^th-century botanical gardens, and plenty of bars and restaurants, there’s lots to do in the daytime before heading into Old Town for a proper night out.

While it’s a little sleepier and not quite as central, Grzegórzki is perfect for staying in Krakow if you’re on a budget. 

 

Ludwinow

Ludwinow is another great location if you don’t want to fork out too much on your accommodation as it has plenty of options at cheaper rates than more central locations. Located across the river from Kazimierz, it takes a bit of travelling to get into Old Town, but Ludwinow has its own fair share of indie bars, live music venues, and cultural activities.
