Where's the best area to live in Kraków?
By their typical street: Mistrzejowice (85), Podgórze Duchackie (84) and Bieńczyce (83). Mistrzejowice stands out for shops on foot and good transport. On the map you can also rank areas for families, walking or safety.
Which areas of Kraków are best for families?
Mistrzejowice (94) and Podgórze Duchackie (93): schools and playgrounds close by, parks, quiet streets, calm traffic and few tourists. We don't rate how good the schools are.
Which areas of Kraków are quietest?
Podgórze Duchackie and Bieżanów-Prokocim, where 36% and 36% of streets are quiet. Noise is estimated from roads and railways; aircraft, bars and neighbours aren't counted.
Can you live in Kraków without a car?
In most of it. On 57% of streets a shop, café, pharmacy, doctor, school and gym are all within a 10-minute walk, and 50% have good public transport nearby.
Which areas of Kraków are safest?
By our combined estimate, Stare Miasto (86) and Mistrzejowice (83). It mixes our street estimate, the Hoodmaps crowd map and region-wide crime figures, and any of them can be wrong.
Why do some central areas of Kraków score low?
We score for living there, not visiting. A street in a tourist hotspot, on a loud main road, or where you'd need a car can't score high, however nice the rest is.
