What to Pack for Krakow in June

It may be tempting to pack only shorts and t-shirts in your bag for a June vacation to Krakow, but do include long, lightweight pants and a light jacket or sweater. These will come in handy for rainy or cool evenings. You'll also want to include an outfit appropriate for any indoor concerts that look appealing when you're there. Don't forget your travel umbrella!

Krakow's Kazimierz district comes alive with the International Festival of Jewish Culture.
