Krakow - What to Pack - Clothing and Supplies Tips

As one of the oldest cities in Poland, Krakow provides a unique opportunity for visitors. It's important to pack appropriately for your trip.

A common mistake many first time international travelers make is buying power plug adapters without purchasing voltage adapters. The amount of power running through a Krakow power outlet is often different from what your electronics are designed for. If you connect your own electrical devices to a power source you run the risk of sending a surge of energy into the hardware, damaging it. Due to this, make sure to not only bring power plug adapters but a voltage adapter.

Rainfall is common in Krakow and the weather can be unpredictable. Wearing rain gear throughout your trip is a bit of a hassle, but carrying around a small umbrella in a day pack or purse is easy.

You probably don't want to carry around an umbrella in your hand everywhere you go.  With a day pack you can toss in bottles of water, your umbrella, extra socks for when it rains and anything else you might need for the day.

It is easy to forget to charge your camera battery until you're out snapping pictures and the camera dies. Bring a secondary battery to avoid this.
