Your Kraków backpacking trip. Your to-do list.

Welcome to the budget-friendly MEININGER Hotel Kraków Centrum, backpackers! For an outdoor adventure, hike up to Kosciuszko Mound, a fun and rewarding experience with panoramic views at the top. Relax in one of Kraków's parks, like Planty Park, and have a picnic or people-watch. Visit local markets like Plac Nowy, or join a free walking tour to learn about Kraków's history and culture. If you're ready to mingle after dark, head to Kazimierz, where you'll find a vibrant scene filled with bars and clubs for a fun night out.

When it comes to choosing the perfect place to stay in Kraków, the MEININGER hotel Kraków Centrum in the heart of the city stands out. Our vibrant neighborhood, the Grzegórzki district, offers you easy access to all the popular attractions and historic landmarks of the city.

Just steps away from our spot, you'll find the historic Old Town of Kraków. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to famous architectural marvels, photogenic streets, and the Main Market Square, Rynek Główny. Walk through the cobblestone streets, discover cultural landmarks, and immerse yourself in the city's rich history. Plus, one of Kraków's most iconic attractions, Wawel Castle, is within walking distance from our doorstep. Explore the spectacular royal chambers, admire the stunning Gothic architecture, and take in breathtaking panoramic views from the castle hill. When staying with us, strolling around the nearby Kazimierz district, Kraków's historic Jewish quarter, becomes a breeze as well. This area is a cultural hotspot with synagogues, art galleries, and traditional Jewish eateries. It's a must-visit for all of you, travelers, who are interested in the city's diverse heritage. Also, a relaxing walk along the picturesque Vistula River, just minutes from the MEININGER Kraków Centrum, offers you super beautiful views and a real chance to unwind.
