“I was born in Kraków. Here’s what I wish every tourist knew.”

My name is Katarzyna, and I was born and raised in Kraków. 🇵🇱

I love this city. The streets, the Rynek, the food, the nightlife — it’s home.

But over the years, I’ve also seen tourists have experiences they never expected.

A taxi that costs far more than it should.
A bad exchange rate they didn't notice.
A restaurant bill that leaves them wondering what just happened.

I’ve heard the same sentence again and again:

“I wish someone had told me.”

And that’s exactly why I wanted to help.

I started asking locals, drivers, bartenders and restaurant workers:

“What should every tourist know before coming to Kraków?”

We collected the practical tips, common mistakes, real prices and local warnings that visitors rarely hear about.

And put them all in one simple guide.

Just the local knowledge I wish I could give every visitor before they arrive.
