Kraków is a university town, which sets the tone for a lively nightlife, further fuelled by the introduction of tourist bar crawls. Don’t let that put you off though, this city has plenty of easy-to-find, off-the-radar drinking spots, where you can savour a range of vodkas or the burgeoning craft beer scene. In fact, there are allegedly more bars per capita here than anywhere else in Europe. Don’t miss the jazz bars, which became popular in Poland in the Twenties and Thirties but forbidden by the communists after WWII, as being ‘alien to the working class’. Only in 1956 were they allowed again.
