Rules for Dogs in Krakow

• Leash & Muzzle: Dogs should be kept on a leash in public spaces. Large breeds may also require a muzzle, especially on public transport.

• Clean Up: Always clean up after your dog—there are many dog waste bins around parks and streets.

• Public Transport: Dogs are allowed on trams and buses with a leash and muzzle.

Dog Parks & Green Spaces

• Park Jordana: Spacious park with open areas where dogs are welcome.

• Park Bednarskiego: Popular with local dog owners, perfect for walks and playtime.

• Błonia Meadow: Great for longer walks and playing fetch.

• Designated Dog Parks: Look for fenced dog runs in larger parks (search for “wybieg dla psów Kraków”).

Dog-Friendly Cafés & Restaurants

Many cafés and restaurants in Krakow welcome dogs, especially those with outdoor seating. Always ask staff first—most will happily offer your pup a bowl of water! In Hard Rock Cafe on the main square you can even buy lunch for your furry child from a special Doggy menu.

Groomers

To find a groomer download app "Booksy" and search for one in your area with good reviews and available appointment time. My personal advice is:

• Dog Studio: Bronowicka 65, make sure to book with Ewelina - she is the best.

Extra Tips

• Water: Carry water for your dog, especially in summer.

• Identification: Make sure your dog has an ID tag with your contact info.

Dog Events: Krakow often hosts pet-friendly events—ask at local cafés or check social media.
