Easter in Krakow

We will end our two week trip in Krakow during the Easter weekend and would like to experience the holiday as locals do. Do you have any suggestions for guesthouses where we might be closer to families celebrating the holiday. This seems like a beautiful and festive time, but less tourist attractions open. Your help to plan this final leg of our trip is appreciated!

Thank you! I glad to know the basket blessing is in the square. We will try to attend a church service too, but will want to decide which church.

Thank you for those markets. We do prefer to stay away from the touristy places much of the time, and just appreciate the true local culture. I'm getting excited to go! 😁

We plan to be in Wrocław just prior to Krakow. It's so hard to know how much time to plan in each place. We will fly in to Warsaw, then take a train to Gdansk. Very much interested in the maritime area, but since our return flight was better from Krakow, we thought it would be nice to head south for our second week. So many beautiful places in between too. Oh, decisions, decisions!

I have a hunch I too will prefer Wrocław, and considered staying there for Easter. But our flight out is Tuesday and we probably should leave some time to see Krakow. Thank you for your advice.
