Krakow, Poland
Hi folks,

I'll be touring Europe July/August next year (2019) and plan a stop over in Krakow for 4 or 5 days as there seems plenty to see and do.

Looking at hotel/bed prices I'll probably treat myself to one for the duration of my stay.

However I'd like to make sure the bike is safe whilst I'm not using her. Any suggestions on secure parking? I notice a lot of the places only have on-street parking.

Of course any other suggestions for Krakow also welcome.

Cheers

Vic

It's been a while since I was last there, but we stayed in an AirBNB apartment a bit on the outskirts with a view on the Wisla river. It had secure private parking and the distance to the center was walkable, or we took the tram.
Perhaps broaden your search to include airbnb option as well.

There's plenty of interesting things to see and do. I very much enjoyed the free walking tour and the subsequent guided tour through the Shindler Museum. If you want to get out of the city, the Wieliczka Salt Mine was nice. And Auschwitz is also about an hour away.

Cheers, I'll have a look at them, they aren't something I've used before.

Hello Grizzly
I live in Krakow, if you need some help, please let me know.
Tell me your daily trip budget then I will look for you and your motorcycle a good hotel.
I don't know what your interests are.
The center of Krakow is the same museums and restaurants. An interesting place is Nowa Huta (old industrial zone), Kopiec Kościuszki, Kraków Kazimierz (old Jewish quarter )
There are mountains around Krakow and lots of beautiful scenic roads.
check pictures for the following destination
Ojcowski Park Narodowy
Beskid Żywicki
Tatry (the highest mountains in Poland )

In August I have holidays and I leave the city for the whole month but if you come in July I can show you some nice places.
