Traditional Sweet Dishes
Sernik
Krakow sernik is made with twaróg, a local curd cheese that gives it a tangy, dense texture, and bakers often trace its recipe back to medieval Polish kitchens influenced by Italian cooks.
Paczki
Pączki are deep-fried, jam-filled buns eaten on Fat Thursday to use up lard before Lent, and in Krakow you can find fillings ranging from rosehip and plum to rich custard.
Makowiec
Makowiec, the poppy seed roll, hides a sticky, sweet poppy paste that Poles consider a symbol of fertility and prosperity, and it is a must at Christmas and weddings.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Pierogi
Pierogi are hand-folded dumplings filled with everything from potato and cheese to seasonal fruit, and Krakow celebrates them with festivals and inventive fillings.
Bigos
Bigos, the hunter's stew of sauerkraut, fresh cabbage and mixed meats, tastes better after a few days of reheating, which is why families make large pots to share.
Kielbasa
Kiełbasa from Krakow, especially the coarse smoked Krakowska variety, was designed for long winter storage, and its smoky, garlicky flavor is an icon of Polish kitchens.
Traditional Beverages
Vodka
Polish vodka prides itself on rye-based clarity and centuries of distilling tradition, and in Krakow you will find craft distillers experimenting with local flavors like honey and herbs.
Kompot
Kompot is a simple, fragrant fruit compote made by simmering seasonal fruit with sugar and spices. It doubles as a way to preserve summer flavors for winter.
Beer
Krakow's beer scene blends centuries-old brewing traditions with modern craft ales, so you can sample everything from classic lagers to experimental barrel-aged brews.

Buy a 24- or 72-hour public transport pass at kiosks, it saves money and you can jump on trams without fumbling for coins.
Three days felt right for highlights, four if you want museums and relaxed meals. Don’t rush the cafés, they’re part of the vibe.
If arriving by train, get an MPK ticket from the machine before boarding trams, inspectors fine on spot and machines take cash and cards.
Food scene surprised me, modern bistros next to milk bars, prices great unless you eat on Market Square, then it jumps.
Felt very safe walking late, locals helpful, but watch pickpockets in packed trams and tourist spots.
