Money

  • Currency: Polish złoty

Transportation

  • Uber and Bolt are available, but not the best for when you’re navigating old town
  • There are many electric scooters available
  • Excellent public transportation
    • Can use the app for digital tram pass: Jakdojade
      • If you’re predominantly staying in Krakow you should be fine with passes that just cover zone 1
