June marks the beginning of Kraków’s busiest period, with warm temperatures and long daylight hours. The city’s event calendar becomes especially strong, including the Dragon Parade, Kraków Film Festival, Jewish Culture Festival and Wianki.

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