Many Kraków cafés double as bars, often opening late and serving wine, beer or cocktails next to coffee.1 Stare Miasto has about half of the cafés that stay open until 22:00 or later, with Kazimierz a distant second and the rest spread across Grzegórzki, Krowodrza, Piasek and beyond.

Closing times often move later at the end of the week. B.O.H.O. Coffee&Bar at Stolarska 6 shuts at midnight from Sunday to Thursday and at 02:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 Okna Cafe in Kazimierz adds an hour from Thursday to Saturday.

Local tip: Arriving on a late train? Coffee Way at the station address on Pawia is open 24 hours, and Cavarious beside it reopens at 05:00.

Where these cafés are: Stare Miasto (15), Kazimierz (5), Grzegórzki & Wesoła (4), Krowodrza & Czarna Wieś (3), Piasek & Nowy Świat (2), Podgórze (1), Kleparz (1), Zwierzyniec & Salwator (1).
