July is generally warm enough to dress light, even in the evenings. However, you can also expect rain for at least one or two days of your trip, so bring a brolly and a light waterproof jacket and footwear. In recent years, the climate has risen, and you may find it very hot. Luckily there is plenty of shade and covered cafés to laze away the afternoon.
July also marks the start of Kraków’s high season, so you’ll likely find yourself paying a bit more than May, June, or September. Make sure you book flights and accommodation well in advance.
