What to Pack for Krakow in November

When you pack for November travel to Krakow, keep in mind your personal tolerance for cold weather. While the average temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit is well above freezing, temperatures can be deceptive on paper. Any residual heat from sunny days fades quickly when cloudy weather reigns, and nights and mornings can feel especially brisk.
