WATER
While tap water in Poland is drinkable, it is highly chlorinated and
thus, bottled water is recommended. |
WEATHER
Weather during the summer period (June through August) is warm with
temperatures usually between 20 C and 30 C (68 - 86 F). The amount
of rain is moderate but carrying umbrella is advisable. Please note
that the weather can be somewhat unpredictable. In recent years temperatures
in summer were as as hot as 35 C (95 F). Also, given Krakow's close
proximity to the mountains the weather can change within few hours
(eg. on some hot days a sudden thunderstorm can give rise to beautiful
sun). It is best to dress comfortably; a light all weather jacket
or coat and an umbrella would be useful. Also, you should bring comfortable
footware. Krakow is a very pedestrian friendly city and you will probably
be spending much time on your feet exploring. Like hiking shoes would
probably be best in terms of comfort. |
