New in Krakau, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Krakau — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
With around 800,000 inhabitants, Krakow (Kraków) is Poland's second-largest city and, with more than 150,000 students, one of the country's most important higher-education hubs. The bohemian Kazimierz district around Plac Nowy, the bustling old town and the Bulwary Wiślane along the Vistula shape student life between cellar bars, street food and open-air gatherings. Studying here means experiencing the Juwenalia every spring — the city's biggest student festival, at which students are symbolically handed the keys to the city.
