Krakow - Poland's Number 1 Stag Destination

Krakow is home to some of the coolest bars in Poland and will certainly have you ‘cracking on’ until the early hours. The town centre is the place to be on an evening, with bars and clubs lining the medieval Market Square and cool cocktail bars in Kazimierz, the city’s historic Jewish Quarter. There’s tons of stuff to do too, from strip limo airport transfers to shooting AK-47s, it’s every lads dream for one wild stag do in Krakow.

Market Square

Krakow’s medieval Market Square dates back to the 13th century and is popular with historical enthusiasts and stag dos alike. Centred around the antique Cloth Hall, popular bars and clubs line the streets offering premium vodka and gorgeous girls. If you’re more Zubrowka cocktails than shots however, then head over to the laid-back B4 which is the perfect spot for cool stags looking for a laid-back evening.

Kazimierz (The Jewish Quarter)

Kazimierz is the place to head for chic cocktails and banging beers. The stripped back Piękny Pies doesn’t strike as your typical stag do night out, but what they lack in wallpaper they make up for in authentic polish piwo (that’s beer to me and you). La Habana Bar however will transport you from chilly Poland to the sunnier climbs of Cuba with their delicious mojitos.

Krakow Airport, also known as John Paul II International Airport, is located approximately seven and a half miles west of the city centre and is the second busiest airport in the country.

Getting Around Krakow

Nights out in Krakow are easy to navigate with the two main party areas right next to each other in Market Square and the Jewish Quarter. The city has Uber to ensure you can safely travel back after a boozy night out, especially handy when you’ve lost the use of your legs, as well as an intricate bus and tram system that has recently won awards for its innovation.

Bus

The bus and tram systems extend across Krakow’s city centre and tickets can be used between the two interchangeably. Rather than buy a ticket to a particular destination however, tickets work on a time basis, so you pay for the length of your journey instead. This means if your journey requires a change of transportation part way through, you simply buy one ticket, so long as they are validated once onboard.

Tram

Tram tickets can be purchased on the tram itself and at machines at the tram stops. The pre-war trams still run to this day, providing a cool retro Instagram opportunity, and run alongside 22 ordinary trams, two fast and three night-time services, meaning you’ll never be short of a lift around this beautiful city.

Bike

In recent years, Krakow has become more cycle friendly, with the introduction of cycle lanes throughout the city in the past decade. There are numerous different bike hire spots dotted throughout where you and the lads can grab a ride and take in the city sights and fresh air. This is a perfect alternative to busy public transport.

Walk

For the stag do looking to take in the sights of this beautiful city, you simply can’t beat walking through the historic streets of Krakow. We recommend taking a stroll along the Vistula River on what is popularly known as the Vistula Boulevards. Not only will you take in the sights of Krakow, there’s also a few beer stops along the way.

Scooter

If you are looking for a fun way to explore Krakow, the city offers a wide range of scooters. Just download the app and you’re free to go. Ask a local guide which brands have the best prices, and which don’t need initial fees. For around 10 zloty (£2) you can hire one out for the entire day.

Krakow Weather

Let’s face it, Poland is in the Eastern Bloc, so isn’t known for its balmy weather. The best time to visit Krakow on your stag do is definitely in the summertime if you like to be outside, their summers are similar to ours with highs of around 24 degrees. However, this party-loving city will still give you a warm welcome, despite the snow in chillier months.

Interesting and Relevant Krakow Facts

Movie marvel

Stephen Spielberg’s Oscar-awarded Schindler’s List was filmed in the vibrant Jewish Quarter. Many of the synagogues that can be found throughout the streets of Kazimierz are featured in the film providing an authentic feeling.

Tons of energy

It is said that Wawel Hill, where you will find St Gereon’s chapel, is where one of the Earth Chakras lie. In the summertime especially, people swarm to the chapel to touch its walls and feel the boundless energy flowing from the earth.

Trump(et) Tower

A trumpet call is made daily from the tower of St Mary’s but stops abruptly part-way through the melody each time. This is because in 1240, a trumpeter went to sound the alarm of an attack on the city, only to be struck by an arrow part-way through his tune.
