Krakow Food Tour

Most food tours in Krakow stick to locations in central Krakow. This generally means Krakow’s Old Town, known as Stare Miasto in Polish but more specifically the area around the main square, Rynek Główny. Outside of this area, you’ll find many excellent bars, eateries and markets in the Kazimierz district, Krakow’s historic Jewish Quarter.

After almost 20 years of living and travelling in Europe, I created these guides to share my food experiences. Over the years I’ve taken many food tours, attended gourmet festivals, enjoyed the occasional cooking class and drank a hell of a lot of coffee. I hope these guides will help you do the same.
