What Can 100 Zloty ($24.04) Buy in Kraków, Poland? 🇵🇱

[@DdotRay86]

Just got back from Krakow, went for a wedding. Incredibly beautiful place, and so clean.

[@MaxandSidney]

Agreed! A truly wonderful European city. That must have been a fun wedding!

[@GreatCityAttractions]

It does look an amazing place.

[@gerryn2]

9 years in Krakow, and I always say - when people ask if it's cheap? I say it's appropriately priced - compared to other countries there is a lot of value for money. I don't scold people for asking if it's cheap or how cheap it is but I don't use that word myself because that does not explain in properly. We are not "budget", or "cheap", we're value for money.

[@GibbyBoy2831]

100%. There are some very expensive places in Krakow but for the most part it’s affordable and the fact you can eat great food for less than €10 per day on a budget is wild.

[@Kinggg679]

@gerryn2 Cheap, in general means low quality, at least in the US. I would rather use terms, like affordable, bargain, low cost, moderately priced etc. Btw: if you visited Poland 30-40 years ago, as a foreigner, then loaf of bread cost an equivalent of $0.10 , bottles of vodka $0.99. I think, prices like these, are still in some pariahs states, like Cuba, North Korea, or Venezuela.

[@florallyclover]

it’s cheaper/affordable for those coming over with foreign currencies, but not in relation to the locals who earn local currency as their sole income

[@msciwojstalkiewicz9510]

Milk bars over fancy restaurants - change my mind. You guys have to check out Bar Krakowski on Kalwaryjska street on your next visit. Best quality vs price ratio I've seen in terms of pierogi and other traditional polish cuisine in my life. I used to live a 100 metres from there and I couldn't get enough. It all tasted like I remember my mother making it when I was a kid. Prolly gonna go there tomorrow, now that I've mentioned it lol.

Next to Krakow is located Wieliczka Salt Mine which is underground tourist route with amazing salt statues and underground chapel made in salt. Another salt mine is Bochnia Salt Mine (next to Krakow too), in Bochnia is an option to say at night in salt chamber (very healthly), play a match on uderground salt playing field or sail on underground salt lake. And in both of mines is an option to be a salt miner! You get a lamp, helmet and the rest of equimpment, go down with a guide and do quests like salt miner did. It is so funny :)

If you hadn't taken the unexpected ride, would you have eaten at a restaurant outside the square? Or how did you initially envision your day? Do you know the price of admission to the museum if it's not a Monday?

[@MaxandSidney]

We were planning on walking to the museum and finding a restaurant along the way. We already did the square, we wanted to branch out. The ride was so nice because we got a full tour of the Kazimierz neighborhood which became our favorite place to hang out! And the ticket for the museum is usually 55 złoty which is about 12 euros. Definitely a great deal to take advantage of!

[@MegaRitmos]

Just a thing to mention: the worst hot dogs are actually made in the US. All over Europe hot dogs at any gas station are way better than in "decent" restaurants in the US.

[@adamw.3409]

I got a bit lost in these calculations.... you had 100 PLN per person, right? At first I thought it was for two people. but since you subtract 2.50 at the beginning it means 1 bagel.... then you subtract 50 PLN (so for two people such a short ride = 100 PLN, very expensive!!), uber/bolt for this distance is a maximum of 20 PLN, 5 times cheaper.

[@MaxandSidney]

Definitely would have been cheaper, and I’m sure those rides are marked up. Still, we enjoyed it because it was a great way to see everything and get some background info as well!

Well, thats definitely not true. Poland has the second lowest prices in EU after Bulgaria. And nah, average prices in restaurants in Poland are at least 1/3 of those from London (and i mean cities such as Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Warszawa etc.). Prices of groceries - like 1/2 or 1/3 (depends on product). Or lets put it this way: to live comfortably in London you need to earn at least like 4k pounds. In Kraków (or any other bigger polish city really), like 1,6-2k euro.
