If shopping isn’t your thing, visit some of the lesser-known attractions you have yet to discover.
On your last day in Poland, take time to indulge in shopping at Krakow’s popular marketplace, Stary Kleparz. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip.
One of the best things to do on your last day is to explore Floriańska Street, a street that captures the true essence of Krakow. Take your time to uncover its best sides and enjoy its proximity to many of the area’s best attractions.
Get a last taste of Poland’s tasty traditional food. Choose from a curated list of the best local food and drink spots in Krakow and enjoy what may be your last vacation meal of this trip. Look forward to recreating these distinct culinary experiences in your own kitchen later to remind you of your unforgettable road trip across Poland, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
The time has come to say farewell to Krakow for now. You will realize that you’re traveling home with more than you came with as you look back at your 13-day European road trip in Poland, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic with fond memories. Safe travels!
