Tips From The Experts
Where to stay?
"The Old Town also known as Stare Miasto is ideal for stag groups, providing easy access to the best nightlife and attractions. Alternatively, Kazimierz, with its trendy vibe and unique dining spots to try polish cuisine, is a great choice for groups seeking something a bit more laid-back and hip. Both of these areas are just a short 20 minute walk apart making Krakow a super compact city."
Krakow will exceed all expectations
“Bars everywhere, lively squares buzzing with energy, and beer gardens right near the city centre, which are amazing spots to relax with a drink. On top of that, Krakow has stunning historic architecture and a great mix of culture, making it much more than just a party destination. The food and bars are excellent, and the local guides are fantastic, ensuring everything runs smoothly and your group has an unforgettable experience."
Ways to see the city
“Guided bar crawls are one of the top Krakow stag activities and a must-try for first-time visitors, introducing you to the city’s top venues and including drinks in areas like lively areas like the Old Town, Kazimierz (Jewish Quarter), and Podgórze. The main value you will get from the bar crawl are the local guides who will tailor the crawl to your preferences and take you to all the best spots. For something unique, one of the best ways to enjoy the city is onboard a river cruise, having a few drinks whilst enjoying the city from a different perspective."
Cheap Drinks, Big Nights
"Krakow is a great alternative for groups wanting something different to the more mainstream Eastern European cities such as Budapest and Prague. Krakow offers a similar experience and city vibe than these destinations at a much cheaper price point. With standard beer prices in bars only costing around £2, it’s the perfect destination for budget-conscious groups."
What Stags Are Asking About Krakow
Krakow is the perfect stag do spot. It’s got everything: dirt-cheap drinks, insane activities, and nightlife that doesn’t quit until you do. Plus, it’s way less touristy than other popular destinations like Prague but a Krakow stag party is just as wild. You’ll leave with stories you won’t stop telling (or remembering) for years
Summer is when Krakow’s at its peak – May through August, the weather’s its warmest, and the city’s buzzing. But honestly, Krakow’s a year-round party. Even in winter, the Old Town looks like a Christmas card, and the bars are just as lively.
Spring (March to May): The city comes alive as temperatures warm up, ranging from 5°C in March to around 20°C in May. Perfect for outdoor activities and enjoying the Old Town.
Summer (June to August): Krakow’s peak season, with warm weather averaging 20-25°C. The sun’s out, the beer gardens are buzzing, and it’s prime time for river cruises and late-night bar hopping.
Autumn (September to November): Cooler, with temperatures from 15°C in September down to around 5°C by November. It’s crisp, colourful, and great for cultural tours with fewer crowds.
Winter (December to February): Cold and magical, with temperatures often dipping below freezing (around -5°C to 0°C). Snow dusts the Old Town, and the lively atmosphere of the Christmas markets.
You have to visit the Old Town – think pumping clubs, lively pubs, and buzzing late-night bars. Then there’s Kazimierz, the Jewish Quarter, known for its underground bars and trendy cocktail spots. Whether you’re after a fancy night out, a classic Krakow pub crawl or a raw, wild stag night on a party boat, Krakow delivers unforgettable nightlife that keeps the party going until sunrise.
Keep the beers inside – drinking on the streets in Krakow isn’t a thing, and drinking alcohol in public areas is generally illegal in Krakow (and across Poland), so keep your festivities to licensed venues.
