Car Rentals in Krakow, Malopolskie

Car rentals in Krakow are the best way to get around the city and visit nearby locations, but there are some things you need to expect and be familiar with. Delays and detours due to road work are very frequent, especially during the summer months on roads leading to main tourist attractions. Parking is allowed on the streets, but it is expensive, and the meters generally only accept coins. There are several large public parking lots and garages in the center of the city where you can park and then walk or use the transit system downtown. These also charge fees, but most of them are also guarded. Many wonderful places to see are just a short drive outside the city including the Nowa Huta, the Las Wolski forest sanctuary, and the Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec, so even if you want to park and walk or take public transit downtown, it still is a good idea to rent a car in Krakow.
