–Unpredictable weather

April is a flexible month for Kraków, with longer days, milder temperatures and generally moderate rainfall. Outside Easter periods, crowds can remain relatively manageable and prices can be attractive.

Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
