Tourist Information Office

Cracow's official cultural office can be found bang in the centre of town, just north of the Main Market Square. It's a handy place to know as they sell tickets to most of the top events in town, from classical concerts in hidden baroque churches to whopping stadium extravaganzas. They also publish a monthly events guide (Karnet) which is jam-packed with useful information, with a good spread of what's on in an around the city of Prince Krak.

it was really help full with my homework and i would definitely use this site again i found out a lot of info about Krakow and i might go there for a holiday

Bureaux de change in the city centre, particularly on Florianska Street and in the Market Square, are notorious for giving hopeless rates. The age old trick is to insert an extra zero on their list of rates. A rate of 5.0889, is easily read as 5.889. Visitors fall for this time and again. Once you are wise to this, have fun spotting all the scammers! In general, rates improve the further away from the centre you go. If there is sufficient demand for it, Cracow Life will introduce a daily list of the best rates around. Just contact us and let us know!

DO NOT CHANGE AT COMPANY CURRENCY EXPRESS OR INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY EXCHANGE!!! STREET FLORIANSKA 53 IN KRAKOW. THey advertise rates in very small and at the end you do not get what it says!!!! IT'S A RIP-OFF

RIP OFF BUREAU DE CHANGE. AVOID INTERCHANGE at 9 ul Grodzka or any other branch. I lost 200 pl zlotys on 200 UK pounds. I'm pretty experienced but on my third trip to Krakow having had no problems with exchanges in the past I dropped my guard and did not ask how much I would get. The trick in this exchange is the THIRD column of figures if you change less than 500 $ or Pounds you get a CRAP rate. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. Even better go in and tell them why you are avoiding them.

"Ripped off" by Krakow Foreign Currency Exchange Bureau ...
Typical story - just arrived, tour bus waiting and only Euro in my wallet. Urgently need some local ZL. Visit the closest bureau. Foolishly don't check the exchange rates (...I travel all the time so I should know better) Rude indifferent bureau clerk (...not typical Polish attitude) who exchanges 200 euro for 602zl. I later checked with another bureau to find the correct sell exchange rate would have given me approx. 800zl. Returned 2-3 hours later to complain to the same clerk who basically gave me the Polish equivalent of the "bird" and ignored me. Left a real bad taste in my mouth. Krakow is a great town but this is what I will remember most. This type of dishonestly is just plain bad for business and for Krakow tourism. The bureau is called Interchange and is located in Ulica Florianska, just short of the old town square and is the bureau closest to the square. MY ADVICE - AVOID THIS BUREAU
