Where to stay with primary-school kids (ages 5–9)

Central and walkable — kids 5-9 cover more ground than toddlers but tire faster than teens.

📍 Old Town (around Prešeren Square)

Walk to everything, zero traffic, river views. Best for 3-day trips.

📍 Krakovo

Residential quiet, 10-min walk to centre, excellent small restaurants. Best for a longer stay.
