Tourist offices in Krakow and their services.
Visitors to
Krakow can pick and choose the city’s various
tourist offices, sometimes situated a stone’s throw away
from one another. They are run either by the
Krakow municipality’s official Festival Bureau or
by private businesses or by tourist organizations. Their
staff speak at least English and offer general tourist
information about Krakow, usually reliable and up-to-date.
Most of Krakow’s ‘tourist information centers’ also sell
guidebooks
and other publications as well as distribute free printed
matter. The vast bulk of maps, leaflets, and brochures
available free of charge consist in adverts but some also
include useful if rudimentary contents (unfortunately, with
editorial prowess not a priority, the complimentary stuff
may often mislead too). At the same time quality maps and
guides cost a few euro. As a rule, private tourist offices
offer a better choice of publications than the municipal
network of information centers whose stocks are restricted
to its own products and little else.
The Krakow tourist offices usually provide a range of
services, including such as room finding and ticket booking
and sale. Plus they often act as vendors of sightseeing
guided city tours and day trips.
