Krakow in September - Crowded?
I'll be in Krakow Sept. 13-18. Anybody been around that time of year to know how crowded it will be? I know high season is considered through the end of October (based on hotel rates), but I am hoping crowds taper off at the end of August.

Crowds or too many people in one place have never been a concern in Krakow. Restaurant waits are minimal. Attractions seem to move people without hurrying them. You can always find a spot to sit down and have a beverage. Shop for hotel rates. Try the Europski or the Saski. Enjoy!

We went to Krakow in October 2003 and crowds were not a problem. We never had to wait at restaurants, sights, etc. Did not have a problem getting tickets to tour the Wawel Castle. I also recommend the Hotel Saski. Rates were reasonable in 2003 with full delicious breakfasts. It's in an excellent location about 1/2 block from the Main Square and Cloth Hall.
Hope you enjoy Krakow as much as we did. It's one of our favorite cities & we hope to return.

I visited Krakow in 2004 (mid August) and again in 2006 (early June), and was amazed by the difference - much more crowded in 2006. Krakow is now on the cheap flight circuit and has been well and truly discovered. I would expect crowds in September.

I was there at the beginning of May and it was extremely crowded--but it was also a holiday weekend. But as I've found in any tourist destination, if you go one block from the main drag you'll have the place all to yourself.
