📍 Old Town (Stare Miasto)
Walk to Rynek, Wawel, trams. Pedestrianised core = kid-safe. Pick a side street for quiet.
Krakow with toddlers
The pedestrian old town is a toddler win — no traffic, flat, playgrounds in every park. Skip the salt mine (too much walking at depth).

Where to stay with toddlers (ages 1–3)
Flat neighbourhood + lift-access accommodation + a park nearby beats any amount of “central” with a stroller.

Grittier, cheaper, excellent food scene. 10-min walk to the square.
