Having stayed in Krakow for several times, we now stay outside the city. Some 15 tramstops in fact. This card was invaluable for the amount of travel we did. The places of interest we visited were almost all free because of this card. You have to know what you plan to do and visit before you decide to purchase this card. We purchased the 3 day city with transport but there several different cards available.

The KrakowCard is such a great concept. Once we arrived in Krakow the cards were easy to pick up from central Krakow. You can determine there and then when you want the card to be valid from. A great selection of attractions available and the use of the tram is priceless.

Our driver Jerry was really friendly and knew so much about the area. Couldn’t fault him and would recommend to anyone coming to Krakow. Really lovely man who made the last day of our trip so worthwhile!

Our guide did a great job filling us in about the history of the ghetto, and it’s culture!

It useful for free museums and unlimited transport!
