Visa & entry documents
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
EU/EEA and Swiss citizens plus visa-waiver nationals including the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Israel, Brazil and New Zealand
Not yet confirmed
No application required
EU/EEA, Swiss and UK passport holders enter Poland visa-free, as do Schengen visa-waiver nationals such as the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Israel, Brazil and New Zealand.
Poland recognises ATA carnets for temporary admission of professional equipment, stand fittings and display items; alcohol brought in for tasting is treated as excisable goods, so confirm sampling and customs handling with Targi w Krakowie and a customs broker before shipping.
Early November in Kraków is late autumn: daytime temperatures sit between 3 and 8 °C and fall to around 0–3 °C after dark, with overcast skies and about ten wet days across a typical month. Rain usually arrives as light drizzle rather than heavy showers, but frosty mornings and a sharp wind across the EXPO Kraków car parks are common. Pack a warm wool coat, layers, waterproof footwear and an umbrella, and keep a smart layer for tastings and dinners in the Old Town.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Poland offers fast, inexpensive mobile data: Orange, Play, T-Mobile Polska and Plus sell prepaid tourist SIMs, including at Kraków Airport arrivals, while eSIM plans from Airalo or Holafly activate instantly on landing. EU visitors roam under 'Roam Like at Home' at no extra cost, but travellers from outside the EU should take a local SIM or eSIM to avoid roaming charges. EXPO Kraków provides Wi-Fi in the halls and conference areas, and Old Town hotels, cafés and wine bars almost always offer free Wi-Fi.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Currency and Payments
Poland uses the Polish złoty (PLN), not the euro; cards and contactless payments are accepted in Kraków hotels, restaurants and at EXPO Kraków, but keep small notes for trams, market stalls and taxi fares.
Tipping and Service
Tipping is customary but not obligatory: around 10% in restaurants and wine bars, and rounding up the fare for taxis and Bolt trips. Service charges are rarely added automatically, so tips are given in cash.
Language and Tasting Etiquette
Polish is the local language, while English is standard at EXPO Kraków, city-centre hotels and restaurants. At tasting counters, pour small measures, use the spit buckets provided and avoid draining every sample — producers judge buyers as much as buyers judge wines.

Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: KRK
Kraków John Paul II International (KRK) is the arrival airport for ENOEXPO, about 28 km from EXPO Kraków. Nonstop service from Dubai runs on flydubai/Emirates in 6 h 55 min, while one-stop routings from London cost from about PLN 950 via Zurich or Vienna for a 4 November 2026 departure; connections from Tokyo, Singapore and Sydney route through a European hub. Fares and Kraków hotel rates climb sharply in the two weeks before show week, so book flights and rooms together 8–12 weeks out and check baggage allowances when sampling bottles travel home.
Visa
Visa is not required for EU citizens.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: 2 weeks
Covers tourism and business visits of up to 90 days in any 180-day period; apply through the Polish consulate or its VFS Global centre with hotel and travel confirmation plus ENOEXPO registration. Same documentation as the standard short-stay visa; children under 6 are exempt from the visa fee entirely.

Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Kraków John Paul II International (KRK). 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: Kraków Old Town (Stare Miasto) and the Kraków Główny station district: ibis budget Kraków Stare Miasto (1-star), B&B HOTEL Kraków Centrum (2-star), Bresson Hostel, ul. Biskupia; East Kraków and the Old Town fringe: Hyatt Place Krakow (4-star), Hampton by Hilton Krakow (3-star, ~2 km from EXPO Kraków), ibis Styles Kraków East (3-star).
Ride-hail: Bolt and Uber both operate throughout Kraków and are the quickest link between hotels and the Czyżyny halls, with cross-city trips typically PLN 25–45. At Kraków Airport (KRK) pick-ups are from the designated ride-hail zone outside arrivals, and at EXPO Kraków from the ul. Galicyjska gate drop-off; when Tauron Arena Kraków hosts an evening event, allow extra time for traffic on the approach roads.
Public transit: Kraków's tram and bus network (MPK) connects the city centre to Rondo Czyżyńskie, a five- to ten-minute walk from EXPO Kraków, with trams toward Tauron Arena Kraków running from Kraków Główny and Stare Miasto in about 20–25 minutes. Single tickets cost PLN 4.00–6.00 and are sold at on-board machines or through the Jakdojade app, which also handles transfers within the ticket time window. The airport rail link to Kraków Główny takes about 18 minutes and costs PLN 12–17, making train-plus-tram a cheap alternative to a taxi.
Parking: EXPO Kraków operates paid on-site parking at ul. Galicyjska 9 charged at PLN 40 per day, with limited capacity on show days and free parking for visitors holding a valid disability identification. Overflow spaces around the neighbouring Tauron Arena Kraków fill quickly when events clash, so exhibitors moving freight or stand materials should arrange hall-side access and vehicle passes with Targi w Krakowie in advance.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November 2026
Temperature: 3–8 °C daytime, around 0–3 °C at night
Seasonality: Late-autumn conditions are overcast and damp, with roughly ten wet days in a typical November; rain falls mostly as light drizzle, and frosty mornings with the first hint of snow arrive later in the month.
Packing: Pack a warm wool coat, thermal or fleece layers, a waterproof jacket or umbrella, and comfortable waterproof shoes for walking between halls, tram stops and city hotels; smart-casual dress with a spare jacket works well for tastings and evening dinners.

9
Prepare business cards, catalogues and buyer documents — Bring printed company details, purchasing requirements and note-taking tools for stand conversations and tasting notes.

Pack for cold, wet early November weather in Kraków — Daytime temperatures sit around 5-10 C with rain likely; bring a warm coat and comfortable shoes for walking between halls.

Wawel Castle and the Old Town (Rynek Główny)
Cultural and Historic
Poland's royal castle, cathedral and the UNESCO-listed Main Market Square give an easy half-day between show days, with the country's densest cluster of wine bars nearby for evening meetings.
About 10 km from EXPO Kraków — 20–25 minutes by tram or taxi
Wieliczka Salt Mine
UNESCO Heritage
The 700-year-old salt mine and its underground chapels run guided tours of roughly two hours; a natural add-on for exhibitor teams arriving a day early or staying a day after the fair.

Networking spots
3
EXPO Kraków B2B Meeting Zone
On-Site Business
Seated meeting area with tables and Wi-Fi inside the halls; book slots through Targi w Krakowie before opening day to guarantee time with importers and distributors.
Degustation and Tasting Bars
On-Site Social
The fair's tasting counters are the natural ice-breaker with producers — a glass in hand shortens first meetings with wineries you intend to follow up commercially.
Kazimierz and Old Town Wine Bars
Evening Networking
Kraków's Kazimierz district and the streets around Rynek Główny hold a dense cluster of wine bars 20–25 minutes by taxi from EXPO Kraków, ideal for informal dinners and post-show follow-ups.
