For a short stay in Kraków: Stare Miasto (Old Town) (dzielnica 1) and Grzegórzki (dzielnica 2). One area for each kind of trip, each shown with its own day and night rating — including where that rating says be careful. None of them is here because someone paid for it.

For a first visit Stare Miasto (Old Town) (dzielnica 1)

Averageday Higher caution advisednight

8 of the city's main sights are close enough to walk between. Still a practical base for a first visit, for its location and what is within walking distance of it. The safety evidence points the other way, and the rating is a reason to take extra care — particularly after dark — not by itself a reason to avoid the area.
