In Krakow, there is a wide variety of student accommodation available in different neighbourhoods. When conducting the search, you should know which are the most suitable areas for you, especially taking into account the location of the university. We tell you about some of the most chosen neighbourhoods by students in Krakow.

Apartments for rent in the Kazimierz neighbourhood

Kazimierz is one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in the city, both for its history, youthful and alternative atmosphere it has. It is less than a 20-minute walk from Krakow's Central Square, so its location is good. In addition, the neighbourhood is close to the Vistula River, perfect to enjoy afternoons or days off.

A studio apartment in this neighbourhood has a price that starts at € 220 per month and, on average, costs around € 330.

Room for rent in Stare Miasto, the centre of Krakow

A room in a shared apartment in this area is almost the same price as a studio apartment in a slightly more remote neighbourhood, such as Kazimierz. The monthly rent for a student room at Stare Miasto costs around € 220. You will be in the centre of the city!

Erasmus accommodation near the universities of Krakow

There are several renowned universities in the Polish city. Here are the best neighbourhoods to find accommodation near three of the most important institutions in Krakow:

Jagellonica University - Uniwersytet Jagielloński

This institution is the oldest in the country. Characters such as Copernicus and John Paul II studied there. Its main building is located in the historic centre of the city, so any accommodation near it would be a good option or you can also get there in a few minutes from neighbourhoods such as Kazimierz.

Politechnika Krakowska

This university has its faculties in different buildings, so the location should be defined first. The main campus is very close to the centre. If you study there, consider the Kleparz neighbourhood to find accommodation. If you study on the campus where the Faculty of Architecture is located, for example, in the Krowodrza or Piasek neighbourhood, you will find good options.

Krakow University of Economics

This university is also located very close to the centre, just a few meters from Krakow's main train and tram station. Finding student accommodation in the vicinity of the station is a good alternative. However, it also has a good connection with the rest of the city, so you can look for an apartment in a place further from the centre if it offers better characteristics.

University residence in Krakow

The university residences in Krakow are located quite far from the centre. It is true that, in general, they are cheaper than an apartment or a room near the city centre, but it is not usually the most chosen by students.

If you choose to live in one of these residences, be sure to pay attention to features such as whether the room is private or shared, how many people you share a bathroom and kitchen with, and whether there are common areas.
