When people think about day trips from Kraków, places like Wieliczka, Auschwitz-Birkenau or Zakopane usually come to mind first.

But there’s another option that is much less obvious — Tarnów around an hour from Kraków.

It’s often called the “Pearl of the Renaissance”, with a beautiful market square, colourful historic townhouses and an impressive Renaissance Town Hall. The Old Town is compact, easy to explore on foot and much quieter than Kraków, so it works really well for a relaxed half-day or full-day trip.

Tarnów is not usually high on the typical tourist list, but that is also part of its charm. It feels more local, less crowded and gives you a different perspective on southern Poland.

I’ll also share a separate post soon with a few gluten-free-friendly places in Tarnów for anyone considering the trip 😊

One of the questions I get asked most often is:
"Can I actually try traditional Polish food if I'm gluten-free?"

The answer is... yes! 🇵🇱

But not every traditional dish is naturally gluten-free, and some can be prepared very differently depending on the restaurant.

Knowing what to order (and what questions to ask) can make a huge difference, especially if you have celiac disease.

That's why I dedicated an entire section of my guide to traditional Polish cuisine. You'll learn:
🥟 which dishes are naturally gluten-free�🥣 which ones usually contain gluten�✅ what to look out for�💬 what to ask before ordering

You shouldn't have to miss out on local food just because you're travelling gluten-free.

Not every restaurant advertising "gluten-free" is suitable for people with celiac disease.

When I'm looking for a place to eat in Poland, these are some of the things I always check:
✅ Does the restaurant have an official gluten-free certification?
✅ Do the staff understand cross-contamination?
✅ Is gluten-free food prepared separately?
✅ Can they confidently answer questions about allergens?

These simple checks can make eating out much less stressful.
In my Gluten-Free Kraków Guide, every venue includes practical notes to help you decide whether it's the right choice for you.

Because travelling should be about enjoying the city—not worrying about your next meal.

One of the hardest moments when travelling gluten-free is not the research before the trip.

It’s when you are already in the city, hungry, tired, walking around, and suddenly need to answer:
“Where can we eat near here?”

That’s exactly the problem I wanted to solve with the curated Google Map included in the Gluten-Free Kraków Guide.

The map helps you quickly see gluten-free relevant places around Kraków, organized by category:
– health food stores
– restaurants
– cafés
– hotels
– pubs

The idea is simple: open the map, see what is nearby, and choose based on your situation — breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert or gluten free shopping.

To make planning easier, the guide groups places by gluten-free safety level: certified gluten-free, dedicated gluten-free, and places with gluten-free options in mixed kitchens. This helps you quickly understand which places may be safer and which ones need extra questions before ordering.

Many gluten-free travellers assume that visiting Kraków must be difficult.

The reality is often the opposite.

Over the years, Kraków has developed one of the strongest gluten-free scenes in Poland, with dedicated bakeries, certified gluten-free restaurants, specialised shops and an increasing number of hotels that understand gluten-free requirements.

The challenge is usually not finding gluten-free food.

The challenge is knowing which places are genuinely safe, reliable and worth visiting.

Not every “gluten-free option” means the same thing.

I’ve put together a new article covering some of the key things worth knowing before planning a gluten-free trip to Kraków.

Eating gluten-free in Poland can feel confusing at first.

But the challenge isn’t always the dishes themselves.

It’s how they’re prepared.

In Polish cuisine, gluten often appears where you don’t expect it:
• in soups (used to thicken them)
• in sauces
• in fillings
• in breading

At the same time, many traditional ingredients are naturally gluten-free:
• meat
• potatoes
• vegetables
• eggs
• fermented foods like pickles and sauerkraut

A simple way to think about it:

👉 some dishes are usually safe
👉 some depend on preparation
👉 some are usually not gluten-free

Understanding this pattern can make navigating menus a little more straightforward.
It’s one of the things worth knowing when eating gluten-free in Poland.
