<h5><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-64155" src="https://static.travelgay.com/media/67922/KRAKOW-City-Guide.jpg" alt="" width="100%"><em>Krakow&nbsp;</em><em>Old Town at night</em></h5>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Krak&oacute;w</h2>
<p>Poland's second city and home to over 750,000 people. Krakow mixes medieval splendour, 20th Century glamour, and postwar Soviet architecture to create a spectacle that you won't forget in a hurry.</p>
<p>The medieval city centre hosts one of the largest town squares of its kind in Europe. Other than this, people are drawn to Krakow for it's elegant cafe culture, breathtaking views, and modest gay scene.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Gay Rights in Poland</h2>
<p>For gay rights in Poland, please see our <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/essential-guide-to-warsaw">Gay Warsaw City Guide</a> page.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Gay Scene</h2>
<p>As you may expect from cities in Eastern Europe, the gay scene is not as in your face and pounding as cities in neighbouring Germany. That being said, Krakow has a low key but growing gay scene.</p>
<p>Concentrated mostly in the trendy Kazimier district (old Jewish quarter), you will find a selection of <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/krakow-gay-dance-clubs">Gay Bars &amp; Dance Clubs</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/krakow-gay-cruise-clubs">Gay Cruise Clubs</a>&nbsp;within walking distance of each other.</p>
<p>Krakow does not have a Pride festival as such but has a smaller annual queer celebration. In comparison to Warsaw, conservative attitudes are a little bit more prevalent here and previous attempts at hosting pride ceremonies have been met with protests.</p>

<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>Getting to Krakow</h2>
<p><strong>By plane</strong></p>
<p>Saint John Paul II International Airport Krak&oacute;w&ndash;Balice (KRK) is Poland's second largest airport. It is well served by the major European airlines as well as the budget airlines with Polish national carrier LOT offering transatlantic flights.</p>
<p>There is a modern train service from the passenger terminal to Krakow central station with wi-fi, air conditioning and charging terminals. Singles cost&nbsp;PLN 9 and journey times are around 17 minutes. Trains run from around 5am until just after midnight.</p>
<p>Bus lines 208, 252 and night bus 902 run from the airport to the city centre. Tickets cost PLN 4 for a single with services running at least every 20 minutes (less frequent depending on the time of day.</p>
<p>Krakow Airport Taxi is the only official taxi company operating at the airport. You can pre-book in advance and journeys cost around PLN 89.</p>
<p><strong>By train</strong></p>
<p>As with much of mainland Europe, there are good connections to other European cities via rail.&nbsp;Krak&oacute;w Gł&oacute;wny railway station has services to Vienna, Prague, Bratislava and Budapest provided by Polish national rail carrier PKP.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Getting around Krakow</h2>
<p><strong>On foot</strong></p>
<p>Krak0w is relatively compact with the majority of the main sites situated in close proximity to each other. It's also the perfect way to take in the beautiful architecture and winding medieval backstreets as the historic centre has essentially been pedestrianized.</p>
<p><strong>Bus and Tram</strong></p>
<p>If you need to rest your legs, Krakow has an efficient and well-connected integrated public transport system. Buses and trams run regularly from 5am to 11pm with night bus services running less frequently.</p>
<p>Prices start from 2.80zł for a 20 minute journey (approximately 8 stops depending on traffic). Day tickets start from 15zł and you can buy passes for multiple days. Tickets can be bough either at the stop or on the vehicle but do remember to validate your ticket.</p>

<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>Where to Stay in Krakow</h2>
<p>Krakow has an excellent choice of hotels to suit all budgets. Check our list of <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/gay-krakow-hotels">top Krakow Hotels for gay travelers</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Things to See &amp; Do</h2>
<p><strong>Main Market Square&nbsp;</strong>- the heart of Krakow's old town. This is the focal point of Krakow's nightlife and caf&eacute; culture with a plethora of bars and restaurants located here to people watch and admire the beautiful medieval architecture.</p>
<p><strong>Wawel Royal Castle&nbsp;</strong>- imposing structure built on a hill built in a variety of architectural styles. Legend has it a dragon once lived in the hill before it was slain by prince Krakus.</p>
<p><strong>Jewish District (Kasimierz)</strong> - hip and trendy district that features the majority of Krakow's gay venues. Expect an alternative crowd and a distinctive selection of galleries and vintage stores.</p>
<p><strong>Schindler's Factory</strong> - it's impossible to visit Krakow and not be confronted by its turbulent 20th Century history. Here you can find out more about the Jews who were saved from the death camps by industrialist Oskar Schindler, as immortalised in the film Schindler's List.</p>
<p><strong>Church of St. Peter and St. Paul&nbsp;</strong>- Polish Baroque church famous for its statues of Jesuit saints on its facade.</p>
<p><strong>St Mary's Basilica</strong> - brick gothic church famous for its wooden altarpiece. On the hour a trumpeter plays the&nbsp;Hejnał Mariacki, a five note anthem that is iconic of the city of Krakow.</p>
<p><strong>Auschwitz&nbsp;</strong>- infamous Nazi death camp. There are many tours advertised but you can arrange your own trip if you wish. A bus or train from Krakow to the nearby town of Oświęcim. You will have to pay for a guide earlier on the day but if you go later you can explore at your own pace.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading" lang="en"><strong>Wieliczka Salt Mines</strong> - &nbsp;a short train journey outside of Krakow, these ex-salt mines are an impressive feat of architecture. While the tourist route only shows you 2% of the mine's true extent you will encounter an underground lake and a cathedral constructed out of salt.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 lang="en">&nbsp;</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="firstHeading" lang="en">When to Visit</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Weather-wise, Krakow is at it's best in July and August, however that is when the tourists descend on the town. We would recommend visiting in May or June as the weather is fresh and the plants are still in full-bloom.</p>
<p>Winters are bitterly cold, as &nbsp;in much of central Europe; however, the snow adds a certain magic to Krakow's beautiful architecture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Visa</h2>
<p>Poland is within the European Schengen visa area. If you're travelling from outside Europe, check to see if you require a Schengen visa.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Money</h2>
<p>Poland is not part of the Eurozone. The Polish currency is the złoty.</p>
<p>ATM's (<em>bankomat</em>) are easily found all around Krakow. Visa, MasterCard, Visa Electron and Maestro are widely accepted; AmEx and Diners Club less so.</p>

Gay Krakow City Guide

First time in Krakow? Then our gay Krakow city guide is for you

General rules regarding adoption are set out in the Family and Guardianship Code, in articles 114 to 127. Formally, there is no prohibition against adopting a child by a single person.

The ability for same-sex couples to legally adopt a child.

Before the current law, single only adoption for gay people was allowed.

The difference between legal age of consent for homosexual sex and heterosexual sex.

The ability for MSMs (men who have sex with men) to donate blood or tissue for organ transplants. A deferral period refers to a waiting time before a man can donate after having sex.

Censorship or prohibition of discussing, promoting, or teaching LGBTQ+ topics in media, schools, and in the general public.

Parts of Poland have Called themselves LGBT “Free Zones” in which pride and other equality events are banned and repressed brutally. Mods without sources have changed this entry to something innacurate  

Gender marker change requires initiating a court procedure in which the applicant must file an “assessment suit”, manufacturing proceedings between the applicant and their family. This procedure is very subjective and can result in summary dismissal of the applicant’s suit. Conditions can include a “real-life test”, requiring the applicant to have expressed their gender identity publicly for two years (often without any medical intervention) and medical testing, both psychological and physical.<br />
This procedure is based on the Supreme Court decision of 22 March 1991 which interprets the sense of belonging to a gender as “a personal good”, per Article 23 of the Civil Code (1964), meaning that a suit can be brought on this basis under Article 189 of the Code. Another Supreme Court judgment of 22 September 1995 established that parents or guardians of the applicant are the defendants in the lawsuit taken.<br />
Reports produced by Transfuzja showed that a diagnosis of “transsexualism” can be obtained through a series of tests and examinations, both psychological and physical, including head x-rays, genitalia examination and karyotype check. As there are no unified standards to diagnose a person of “transsexualism” in Poland, healthcare providers “recommend” a two-year “real life” test, during which the applicant is required to live full-time as their preferred gender, but they are not prescribed any hormonal treatment and they are still unable to change their legal status. While it is possible to receive hormonal treatment without a diagnosis, this practice can complicate legal gender recognition court procedures.<br />
<br />
In the resolution of the Court Supreme Court (ref. no. III CZP 100/77), the court found admissible gender change without surgery. In the same judgment, the court decided that it was possible to rectify the birth certificate.

Legal recognition of sex reassignment by permitting a change of legal gender on an individual's birth certificate.

A medical diagnosis required, and individuals need to sue their parents in order to have their birth certificate changed. Under Polish law reassignment surgery can only take place after a person's gender has been legally changed.

Conversion therapy is not Banned in Poland. The attitude of homosexuality as a disease is still commonplace

Legal status of conducting sexual orientation changing therapy ("ex-gay" therapy)

Articles 11-3 and 18-3a of the Labour Code (1997), as amended in 2003, prohibit direct or indirect discrimination on the basis of "sexual orientation" in employment. Article 94(2b) establishes the employer’s duty to act against such discrimination. Under Article 8(1), the prohibition on discrimination based on "sexual orientation" is contained in the Law on Equal Treatment (2010) applies to employment and access to labour market instruments and services. There is no legal protection in all other areas.

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

Articles 11-3 and 18-3a of the Labour Code (1997), as amended in 2003, prohibit direct or indirect discrimination on the basis of "sexual orientation" in employment. Article 94(2b) establishes the employer’s duty to act against such discrimination. Under Article 8(1), the prohibition on discrimination based on "sexual orientation" is contained in the Law on Equal Treatment (2010) applies to employment and access to labour market instruments and services.<br />
In 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union declared in a case from Poland (J.K. v TP S.A., Case No. C-356/21) (2023) that freelance workers are also protected by EU law prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of "sexual orientation" in employment. In December of 2022, Joanna ?elek won her case against her employer in regards to transgender discrimination in the workplace, effectively protecting transgender people in the workplace

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity in employment, including hiring, promotion, termination, harassment, etc.

The Equal Treamtent Law of 2010 prohibits sexual orientation discrimination in employment.

Consensual same-sex acts were legalized in 1945 after the end of WW2 by the Polish Penal Code. Since 2019 several municipalities have declared themselves to be "LGBT-free zones", while this has no legal standing it does adversely affect LGBT people by opening them up to hate crime. In 1970 homosexuality was completely decriminalized by removing the provision on homosexual prostitution from the penal code.

Consensual sexual activity between individuals of the same sex.

The 1932 law came into force in Poland again after World War II, but it included homosexual prostitution as a punishable offense. Homosexuality in Poland was fully decriminalized only in 1970.

LGBT people were persecuted by Nazi forces during the German occupation of the Second World War.

During the Second Polish Republic, same sex activity was not legislated against, but was considered taboo.

During the Partitions of Poland, the Polish state had ceased to exist and laws from other states were forced upon the lands. in 1945 Russia's penal code specified a punishment of forced resettlement to Siberia.

Before the Polish partitions, no bans regarding homosexuality were ever mentioned, despite it being considered taboo. There was a time where "brotherly bonds" were made by two people of the same-sex, typically men. According to some historians, this could be considered same-sex marraige. Homosexuality was also weaponised to defame known figures; i.e. kings. 

Laws in force in Poland do not offer protection against LGBT discrimination in housing. Likewise, there are no protections in education and the attitude of homosexuality as a disease is still commonplace

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity when applying for housing or discrimination by landlords / property owners.

The Supreme Court adopted a resolution on the interpretation of Art. 691 k.c. in which it ruled: “A person actually cohabiting with the tenant (within the meaning of Article 691 § 1 of the Civil Code) is a person connected with the tenant by emotional, physical and economic bonds; also a person of the same sex."

Marriage and marriage recognition between two people of the same biological sex and/or gender identity.

Article 18 of the Polish Constitution defines marriage as "a union of a man and a woman". <br />
Legal challenges have been made against this, including in the European Court of Human Rights, and The Court of Justice of the European Union has also ruled that all EU member states must recognise the rights of same-sex spouse, but no new law has been passed. Unregistered cohabitation recognized.

Legal for LGB people, but not transgender people.  

The ability for homosexuals to serve in the military and be open about their sexuality.

Non-binary gender marker is not available.

Legal recognition of non-binary, genderqueer, or third gender identities.
