Where to stay with toddlers (ages 1–3)

Flat neighbourhood + lift-access accommodation + a park nearby beats any amount of “central” with a stroller.

📍 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.
