Instead of writing another datasheet about Krakow with a lot of information and 2015 updates where people can get lost with, I have decided to write a datasheet for the people who are coming to the city for a short stay, like 2 or 3 days basically.
I've been living in Krakow for two years now, I know most of the places and dynamics and I will try to share with you with my little knowledge. Once again, I won't go through so many places, focusing on the most interesting ones for someone who have never been here and want to use his time in a good way.
Agenda:
1. Timing
2. Transportation
3. Accommodation
4. Day game
5. Night game
1. Timing - When to come to Krakow?
Firstly, we should mention when not go to Krakow by any means. Life in the city, what kind of people you will meet, mostly depends when you go to Krakow. You can have absolutely two opposite experience at the same place just because it will be a different part of the year.
There is 3 period of times where you are more or less likely to have a bad experience (from the worst to the less worst) :
- December (whole month)
- Easter (long week end)
- July/August
In December, there is a tradition where most of people who have beliefs will party less, have a better behaviour in terms of hook up and will think more about Christmas time, family and close friends. During this month clubs will have a very bad ratio, only tourists will make them full (sausage party) and girls won't be as receptive as they used to be before. Of course, you will always have the party girls that will go to clubs and so on, but generally speaking it is the worst period to go to Krakow. If you add the fact that most of students have exams during this time and focus on studies, you can imagine how bad it might be for a player.
Easter is as important as Christmas in Poland. Whereas Christmas time last the whole month of December, Easter is only a long week end. Most of people go back to their home town, students have long break and holidays, thirsty tourists are flooding the city because it is also a long week end in Europe. Very bad ratio everywhere, the city turns into a sausage festival for a week end.
July and August are among the worst months also mostly because of students leaving the city back to their home towns, going abroad to work, on holidays. At the same time, this is the period where there is the more tourists (males) in town. Be prepared for horrible ratios and lack of young polish girls.
Now that you know when you should not come to Krakow, let's talk about the best time to come to Krakow. There is two possibilities and approach : for day game and for night game.
Night Game (from the best to the less)
- Andrzejski (Saint Andrews day)
Probably the best day in Poland, last week end before December.
You will encounter the best ratios in your life during this time. Why? The saint’s duty was to help young girls find out who their husbands would be. Basically, in Polish beliefs, it's the day where single polish girls must have a clue about their future husband/love. It's very popular in Poland and even the girls who never party during the whole year, will go this night out. The result is a night with clubs full of single polish girls from all backgrounds (conservative ones, country girls who never go out, party girls, clever and dumb ones, etc.). Ratios in club are minimum 50-50 all night long but mostly 75-25 and sometimes 80-20 (of girls) until sunrise.
- January & February
During polish winter, weather is unbearable, the days are very short (it starts to be dark at 3.30 in the afternoon) and there is not that much to do outdoor. But polish people like to party and week end will be always packed during these months. The fact that the weather is not good will prevent many tourists to come during this time. It means you will have very good ratios in club/bars. You add the fact that polish girls are more likely to find someone to keep them warm and you have a good mixture to enjoy your stay.
- September & October
New students start to flood the city after summer break. A lot of clubs have dedicated parties for "new comers" and many students that come for the first time to Krakow are from villages around (not spoiled), singles and ready to discover what Krakow has to offer. During this period of time, the % of single girls around is very high and clubs are packed.
Day game (from the best to the less)
- May
This is the first really nice month in Krakow where the weather starts to be good. Some week ends can be very sunny and hot. In April it is still unbalanced - this year we had snow for Easter-. After a long and depressing winter, girls are blooming like flowers and you can feel the horniness all around. Tiny skirts and shorts start to appear. Every year it takes me two or three weeks to get use to all these pretty girls walking around, you have a boner 90% of the time, girls are playful and smiling, ready to get approached in a smart way.
- September & October
The weather is very nice in September - less rainy than summer time -, even in October it's quiet dry and sunny. Days are still quiet long to extend day game. With the arrival of many students in town, there is endless possibilities for day game.
To summarize, if you are doing both night and day games, the best period to go is between mid-September to mid-October.
2. Transportation
You will probably land in Krakow airport with your dick in your luggage.
There is two possibilities to reach town : taxi and train.
I do recommend to take the train because it's faster and cheaper than taxis to go in the center. But if you are 2 or 3 people and can split the fare, taxi is cheap. There is one official Krakow taxi company called Krakow airport taxi. No scams or anything, prices are fixed (89 pln to go to the center).
Train is more affordable and will cost you only 8 pln to reach the central station. Departures are every 30 min and the journey last around 15minutes. Very convenient, I only use this mean of transportation to avoid traffic and to be sure to be on time.
Tips : you do not need to buy a ticket before taking the train. There will be a controller inside the train and you can buy tickets from her/him, by cash or credit card. So don't worry, just take 20 pln at bankomat and reach the train.
During your stay, you will be likely staying in the center. Everything will be within walking distance. If you want to go further, the best choice is Uber. There are many of them and it's very cheap. You can also take traditional taxis, the cheaper are : I-car, Mega Taxi. they have on-line app if you want to use them, just get it.
3. Accommodation
Most of students are living with roomates. Therefore, if you do not have your own place to bring your girl, it might be difficult to seal the deal. I highly recommend to avoid hostels as it will be full of thirsty tourists.
If you really have to stay in a hostel, I recommend this one, great location and people : http://www.mosquitohostel.com/
Then you have two options, a part from classic hotels : Airbnb and Appart-hotels, according to your budget.
Appart-hotel : I recommend this one : http://sodispar.pl/
Young team, helpful, don't care if you are 3 horny guys or whatever. Can arrange journey from airport or whatever.
Airbnb, everything depends the location. I don't recommend that much to stay in the center. it's very noisy, very expensive and all buildings are very old (i.e. cold, high roof, noisy, dirty stairways, etc.).
Green : where to stay (5-10 min walking distance from center)
Black : old center
Red : central station
4. Day game
Let's say you are going to Krakow in May for day game. In this case, you have four good spots to practice day game.
- Black : Old center (Rynek)
This is the largest place in the city where everybody is going to have a walk, to visit, to eat, to have a tea, to drink, to shop, etc. Therefore, it's always packed with local people and tourists. The place is large, endless possibilities. Better to go after 4.pm when students are leaving or early in the evening when girls are going out.
- Green : Wisla River banks and park
Wisla river banks is for me the best spot for day game. When it's sunny and warm, lot of local are going there to have a walk, sunbath, read a book on a bench, doing Rollerblades, cycling, etc. it's very peaceful and packed during week end, many girls walking by pair but also many single targets studying or reading laying on the grass. Also, some girls in bikini sunbathing, sometimes alone. Not many tourists here when you walk south.
- Blue : Universities
Well, universities, not so much to say about it.
- Red & Orange : Shopping malls/central station
The first shopping mall, Galeria Krakowska is linked to the central station. It means that you have to go through the mall to take your train ... or when you get off the train. It's a endless flow of people walking by, must be difficult sometimes to approach because people have to take a train. Overall, it's good especially on Sunday evening when all students are going back from their village to the city for studying.
The other mall is Galeria Kazimierz (in orange). It's more up-scale than Krakowska then the people are older. If you are into milf or women 28+, it's the place to go.
5. Night game
There are many options in the city, so many clubs and bars. Even now after two years, I know barely all of them and there are some changes quiet often. I wills stick to the center and skip Kazimierz because it's only a bar scene and it's pretty bad after midnight.
How to get free entrance and have a look what's going on in the city? Easy, just registered with Facebook to http://www.where2b.org/Krakow
You can see how many people have registered, if something special is happening on in town.
Coco
It's a hip-hop, Rnb club. The only place in Krakow where you can see many black people and Indians. As well, many Ukrainians girls here. The crowd is very young (18-22), mostly students. It's very famous for their lady nights on Wednesday, everybody knows about it in town. During the week end it can be a sausage fest if a large group of guys is coming. Competition is fierce, girls get approached a lot in this kind of place.
Klub Afera
It's a big club in the center with mainstream music. It's packed with students. Big dancefloor, many bars. Music is loud and it can be difficult to talk but you have many little space for isolating, with sofa etc.
Cien
Up-scale club with older crowd than previously mentioned clubs. 20pln fees to enter that prevent village guys and cheap tourists to come in. Most of guys have shirts here, dress well, good looking. Competition is fierce but the girls are very good looking with high heels everywhere. Not easy to pull but it's where you get some very good quality. The only place I have seen polish gamers by pair approaching girls. Mainstream music + Rnb floor.
Frantic
I do not recommend to go there but I put it because it is the most famous one in Krakow. It's where all the tourists are going, thus it's expensive and can be a sausage fest most of the time. In the other hand, it's a very trendy place and lot of hot girls are going there. It's very difficult to pull but the quality is damn good some time. Be careful during the week end, many stripers go there and they have connection with security that can lead to violence if you approach them in a bad way. I see many guys (tourists) got beaten because of that. To be beaten in the polish way is something bad. Mainstream music + Rnb floor.
Prozac
Kind of electro underground club. It's full of hipsters if you are into this crowd. The place is quiet big, many levels, dark and easy to get lost. If it's your kind of music that you like, this is the place to go for you.
If you have any questions let me know and have fun.
