Kraków budget calculator

How much does a Kraków trip cost?

Kraków is one of Europe's most affordable city-break destinations. Budget travelers can manage on 150–200 PLN (~35–48 EUR) per person per day staying in a hostel dorm and eating at milk bars (bary mleczne, where a full hot meal costs 20–30 PLN). Mid-range travelers should budget 350–500 PLN (~85–120 EUR) per person per day, covering a comfortable hotel, sit-down restaurant meals and a guided tour or two. Luxury travelers spending on boutique Old Town hotels, tasting menus and private guides can expect 900 PLN+ (~215 EUR) per person per day.

Key costs to factor in: the MPK network covers the whole city and a 24-hour day pass costs just 18 PLN. Museum entry is typically 15–35 PLN. Guided day trips to Auschwitz-Birkenau or Wieliczka Salt Mine are 150–200 PLN per person including transport from Kraków.
