and with snowfall. The average temperature in the winter months (December, January, and February) is around -3\u00b0C (27\u00b0F) during the day and -7\u00b0C (19\u00b0F) at night. However, temperatures can vary widely and occasionally drop well below freezing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasional snowfall and on a bit warmer days rainfalls happen on a daily basis. A warm jacket, hat, gloves, and warm shoes is a necessity for the winter season.

The streets are decorated with holiday decorations, giving the Christmas atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city also offers many traditional Polish winter treats, such as hot mulled wine and roasted chestnuts, to keep you warm and satisfied during the evening stroll. You can see the historic architecture and views of Wawel Castle coated in <a href=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/snow-in-poland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">snow<\/a>. Additionally, it&#8217;s less crowded in winter, so you can enjoy a peaceful stroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/krakow-winter-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/krakow-winter-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/krakow-winter-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/krakow-winter-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/krakow-winter-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/krakow-winter-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/travelpolandtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/krakow-winter-18x12.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Winter_Ride_On_The_Horse_Open_Sleigh\"><\/span>Winter Ride On The Horse Open Sleigh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Going on a horse-drawn sleigh ride in Krakow during winter is a one-of-a-kind experience.

This place is always worth a visit, regardless of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, during winter, underground tunnels and chambers offer warmth from the cold outside, and the salt sculptures in the Chapel of St. Kinga look beautiful. I recommend taking a guided tour and learning about the mine&#8217;s history and geology, as this place is truly worth knowing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visit_Auschwitz\"><\/span>Visit Auschwitz<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting Auschwitz during winter is a quieter and more somber experience, with fewer crowds and a more contemplative atmosphere to reflect on the inhumane acts committed during the Holocaust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The snowy landscape adds to the haunting atmosphere.
