1. 1 Cukiernia Michałek Cafe Oct 11
   Cukiernia Michałek

   ★★★★ Tobias Quill's pick

   Three generations of hand-filled pączki — the rose jam tastes like a garden, not a jar. Counter-service, no seats, 5-7 PLN for the best doughnut you'll have in Poland.

   ul. Krupnicza 6, 31-123 Kraków
2. 2 Cukiernia pod Arkadami Cafe Oct 11
   Cukiernia pod Arkadami

   ★★★★ Tobias Quill's pick

   Voted best pączki in Kraków in 2025, baking since 1971 on a site with pastry lineage back to the 1950s. Vegan options too. The queue at 11am says they earned it.

   ul. Krakowska 5, 31-062 Kraków
3. 3 Piekarnia Mojego Taty Cafe Oct 11
   Piekarnia Mojego Taty

   ★★★★ Tobias Quill's pick

   Kazimierz sourdough bakery — their rye uses no yeast and stays good for three days. The loaf you want for breakfast in your apartment. 10-20 PLN, takeaway only.

   ul. Meiselsa 25, Kraków
4. 4 Pałac Sztuki (Palace of Fine Arts) Landmark Oct 11
   Pałac Sztuki (Palace of Fine Arts)

   ★★★★ Tobias Quill's pick

   Kraków's first Art Nouveau building (1901), designed by Franciszek Mączyński with a pediment of allegorical figures and a fountain at its feet. Look up at the Secession details from the square.

   Plac Szczepański 4, 31-011 Kraków
5. 5 Dom Pod Globusem Landmark Oct 11
   Dom Pod Globusem

   ★★★★ Tobias Quill's pick

   The corner building with the globe finial — Art Nouveau as urban jewellery. The corner tower, clock, and openwork globe are best seen from across the junction.

   ul. Długa 1 / Basztowa, Kraków
6. 6 Cafe Michalik Cafe Oct 11
   Cafe Michalik

   ★★★ Tobias Quill's pick

   Birthplace of the Młoda Polska movement — the back room where art students drew on the walls in 1895, now a cafe covered in the original sketches and paintings. Coffee inside the thing itself.

   ul. Floriańska 45, Kraków
7. 7 Patchlab Digital Art Festival Event Oct 11
   Patchlab Digital Art Festival

   Oct 15 – Oct 18

   ★★★★ Tobias Quill's pick

   Digital art, new media, and questions about imagining the future — across several Kraków venues. A very un-Secession view of what comes next.

   Multiple venues, Kraków
8. 8 International Biennale of Interior Architecture Event Oct 11
   International Biennale of Interior Architecture

   Oct 1 – Oct 15

   ★★★ Tobias Quill's pick

   A window into how Polish architects think about interior space, with exhibitions, conferences and student shows focused around the Wesoła district.
