Hotels in Krakow County, Poland

Krakow County in southern Poland has a continental climate with warm summers (up to 75°F / 24°C) ideal for wandering the UNESCO-listed Old Town and exploring Wawel Castle's 10th-century cathedral, while cold winters (down to 20°F / -7°C) let you skate on the Main Square's rink and warm up with mulled wine at the Christmas market. The region is also known for the Kazimierz district, where Jewish history lives on in synagogues and basement jazz clubs playing live swing on Szeroka Street, and for the Wieliczka Salt Mine, a 13th-century underground chapel carved from rock salt just 30 minutes away. For a change of pace, hike the easy trails and limestone cliffs of Ojcowski National Park, a 20-minute bus ride from the city center.
