Stare Miasto (Old Town)

Stare Miasto is the postcard Kraków: a UNESCO-listed medieval grid wrapped by the leafy Planty ring, centred on Europe's largest medieval market square. Days belong to tour groups and café terraces; nights to one of Central Europe's densest bar and restaurant scenes. Living here means walking everywhere and owning a piece of genuine history, at a price. For investors it is the city's trophy market. Tight, heritage-protected supply and relentless tourist demand make it the natural home for short-let strategies and luxury pied-à-terre ownership, though the 2026 STR registration regime and high per-metre prices mean it is bought more for prestige and durable capital value than for headline yield.
