Weather
November 2026 in Kraków is late autumn moving into early winter: expect cold, often overcast days with a typical daytime band around 0-8 C and night-time temperatures near or slightly below freezing. Rain is common and the first wet snow is possible, with short daylight hours and early dusk. Check the forecast in the final week before travel and pack warm, waterproof layers; venue halls are heated but queues and transfers are outdoors.

Venue connectivity
Poland has broad 4G and 5G mobile coverage, including Kraków city and the Czyżyny fairground area, with good data speeds for business use. EU roaming rules mean that visitors with SIM cards from other EU countries can use their home allowance, while non-EU visitors typically buy a prepaid SIM or an eSIM on arrival. Wi-Fi is generally offered in hotels, restaurants and at the venue for registered visitors - confirm the network and password at the registration desk. Poland uses 230 V, 50 Hz with type C and E plugs, so bring an adapter if your devices use UK, US or other plug types.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and business language
Polish is the everyday language, with English widely understood in hotels, restaurants and among international exhibitors and distributor teams. Learning a few Polish greetings (dzien dobry, dziekuje) is appreciated in shops and taxis, and confirming in advance whether an exhibitor can provide English documentation saves time on the stand.
Currency and payments
Poland uses the zloty (PLN), not the euro. Card and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere in Kraków, including taxis and market stalls, but keeping a small amount of cash is useful for small purchases and public transit ticket machines.
Tipping and restaurant culture
Service is not usually added to the bill. A tip of around 10 percent for good restaurant service is normal, and rounding up works for taxis and bars. Kraków has a strong restaurant and cafe scene, and the fair's HoReCa audience is closely tied to it, so evening dining in the Old Town or Kazimierz doubles as sector research.
Local food and drink context
Kraków is a natural setting for a HORECA and wine fair: the city has a dense restaurant, hotel and cafe market, historic milk bars, and a growing specialty coffee and craft drinks scene. The Kazimierz and Old Town districts are the most convenient areas for evening meals and supplier dinners during the show.
Dates, holidays and working hours
Early November in Poland includes All Saints' Day on 1 November and Polish Independence Day on 11 November, when shops and some services run reduced hours and public transport may follow a holiday timetable. Plan grocery runs, meetings and travel around these dates.
Punctuality and meetings
Business meetings in Poland usually start on time and a firm handshake with eye contact is the standard greeting. Exchange business cards at the start of a conversation, and send a written follow-up in the days after the fair rather than relying on verbal agreements.
Etiquette in halls and around the city
Polish is written in Latin script, so signage and exhibition catalogues are readable for English-speaking visitors, though product labels and menus may be Polish-only. Ask before photographing stands or people, and note that some venue and restaurant spaces are quiet zones during tasting or seminar sessions.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: KRK
Book flights into Kraków John Paul II International (KRK) for the shortest transfer to EXPO Kraków, arriving on 3 November or earlier if you want a full first show day. Compare Katowice (KTW), roughly 90-110 km away by motorway, as a secondary option when KRK fares or schedules are unfavourable. November is shoulder season in Kraków, so schedules can be thinner than in summer: check baggage rules for stand materials or samples, and keep at least half a day of buffer around the show dates in case of delays. Do not rely on specific fare levels - compare live prices for your own departure city and dates.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Kraków John Paul II International (KRK): Kraków John Paul II International (KRK) is the main commercial gateway serving Kraków; allow 45–60 min by road or rail to EXPO Kraków.. Allow road or rail time to EXPO Kraków; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near EXPO Kraków: Old Town / Stare Miasto: Old Town / Stare Miasto; Centrum / Grzegórzki: Centrum / Grzegórzki; Old Town / Kazimierz: Old Town / Kazimierz.
Ride-hail: International ride-hailing apps operate in Kraków alongside licensed taxi companies, covering the airport, central hotels and the Czyżyny fairground where EXPO Kraków is located. Pick-up points at KRK and around the venue are usually signposted. Demand pricing can apply during show opening and closing peaks and on rainy November evenings, so check the in-app quote before confirming and have a taxi rank or tram route as a backup.
Public transit: Kraków's public transport network combines trams and buses across the city, including services toward the Czyżyny area where EXPO Kraków is located. Tickets can be bought from street machines, ticket machines on some vehicles, or through mobile ticket apps, and must be validated or activated at the start of the journey. Approximate single-ticket prices are in the PLN 4-6 range, with time-based passes available for multi-ride days; confirm live fares and routes with the local transit authority. Frequency is high on main corridors but trams and buses fill up quickly at peak times, so allow extra minutes on show mornings. The airport is also served by its own rail link to Kraków Główny, which pairs well with a tram or bus onward to the venue.
Parking: EXPO Kraków has on-site parking and drop-off areas for cars, taxis and coaches, with additional paid parking in the surrounding Czyżyny district. Spaces are busiest during opening hours and on the first show morning, so arrive early if driving. Confirm current daily rates, accessible bays and the correct hall entrance with the venue or organiser before travelling, since access routes and gates can change between editions. Exhibition vehicles and vans should follow the organiser's logistics instructions for build-up and dismantling windows.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November
Temperature: Approx. 0-8 C daytime, with night-time temperatures near or slightly below freezing - a typical Kraków November band. Treat these as planning ranges and confirm the live forecast in the final week before travel.
Seasonality: November is damp and often overcast in Kraków, with frequent rain and occasional wet snow, plus short daylight hours and early dusk. The fair dates fall in late autumn, so plan for grey skies, slippery pavements and cold transfers between hotels, transport stops and the exhibition halls.
Packing: Pack warm layers including a thermal base, a waterproof and windproof coat, a compact umbrella, and comfortable waterproof shoes for walking between halls and transport stops. Add gloves, a scarf and a hat for evenings in the Old Town or Kazimierz. For meetings, smart-casual business dress works at the fair; bring a charged phone, a power bank, business cards and a small bag for catalogues and samples.
