Climate
In Kraków the average minimum and maximum temperatures during your stay are between 08-19 degrees (°C ). Weather is similar to an average UK summer and rain falls on an average of six to nine days a month. Temperatures do drop in the evening so do bring some warmer wear so that you can stroll the Old Town that will be right on your doorstep.
Clothing
Dress is casual throughout the holiday. You may wish to take one or two smarter items for the evenings, particularly for the optional classical concert where jeans and casual wear where may not be permitted, however this is not a black tie event, just smart casual. Gentlemen are asked to wear a shirt (no jacket necessary) and ladies a dress or two piece outfit (trousers or skirts are fine). Cool casual clothing is recommended in the day time with evenings in the hotel being smart/casual. As the sightseeing visits require a certain amount of walking, we suggest you take a pair of good comfortable shoes with a cushioned sole.
Mobility
There is a certain amount of walking (and stairs) involved on a daily basis on this holiday so please make sure you pack comfy footwear for this so that you are prepared. Your Tour Manager will keep you updated on a daily basis with what to expect the following day. If you are finding it difficult to keep up then please make sure you tell your Tour Manager who can help you to find places to rest and relax and then you can re-join the group at a later stage.
Some streets in the city centre, Jewish Quarter as well as on the excursions will be cobbled. We suggest you take a pair of comfortable shoes with good grips or trainers. For your guided walking tours in Kraków, the Jewish Quarter and Auschwitz you must be prepared to be on your feet for up to 90 minutes, walk one and a half kilometres and be able to manage two to three flights of stairs to gain the maximum enjoyment from this tour and take full part in all activities.
The McCabe Educational Trust
The McCabe Educational Trust is an independent registered charity with the aim of helping inspiring people we meet on some of our pilgrimages. As ‘the haves’ encounter the ‘have nots’ the Trust has become a practical tool for one to help the other.
McCabe Pilgrimages invite all travellers to become partners in this work. A £20 voluntary donation to the Trust’s work is added to every pilgrim’s invoice and all money raised in this way is given in full to the projects the Trust supports. This scheme is voluntary and confidential with nobody put under any pressure to participate.
