Planning a memorable New Year’s Eve in Krakow? This NYE Pub and Club Crawl promises a lively night with guided access to the city’s best nightlife spots, by a reputable provider rated 4.6. If you’re someone who enjoys celebrating with drinks, music, and a lively crowd, this tour could be just the ticket. It offers the chance to skip lines, enjoy free welcome shots, and end the night in a top VIP club where you can stay as long as you like.

What we really like about this experience is how it combines the convenience of a guided tour with the freedom of a night out — plus, the skip-the-line entry makes it easier to avoid the usual wait times that come with popular spots. Plus, the multi-language live guide makes it accessible for travelers from different countries. However, it’s worth mentioning that this isn’t a “free” tour — there’s a €40 cash fee per person for the guide’s services, which is fairly standard for organized pub crawls but worth knowing upfront.

The main consideration? Since the evening lasts around 6 hours, it’s suitable for those ready to party through to the early hours. If you’re traveling with a group that enjoys socializing, dancing, and a bit of a structured night out, this will likely fit your vibe. On the other hand, if you prefer more relaxed evenings or are on a tight budget, this might not be the best option. But for a fun, guided way to ring in the New Year in Krakow, it’s definitely a popular choice.

Meeting Point and Arrival

The tour kicks off right in front of the Eros Bendato statue, a well-known landmark in Krakow’s Old Town.

Each location is carefully chosen to provide a variety of vibes — from cozy pubs to lively dance clubs.

The Cost Structure

While the tour costs €40 per person — paid in cash to your guide — it’s important to recognize that this fee covers the guiding and hosting service. Entrance fees to the venues are included, and the free shots are part of the experience. The fee might seem a bit steep if you’re on a tight budget, but it’s fairly typical for organized pub crawls in popular tourist cities.

Critical Details and Cancellations

Booking is flexible — you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. Keep in mind that the payment to your guide is cash only on the spot, so it’s best to come prepared with the appropriate amount. Also, if you decide to cancel within 24 hours, you risk being charged the €40 fee regardless of circumstances, so plan accordingly.

What Travelers Say

Many participants appreciate the well-organized structure and the friendly guide who makes the experience smooth and fun. One review highlighted, “The best part was the skip-the-line entry, which saved us so much time, and the last club was fantastic.” Others point out that the shots help loosen everyone up early on, creating a lively atmosphere from the start.

Practical Tips

Dress smartly but comfortably — no sandals or flip-flops, and avoid sportswear or sports shoes.
Bring cash for the guide’s fee (€40) and your drinks.
Arrive a few minutes early at the meeting point.
Prepare for a fun, energetic night, but also pace yourself for a full 6-hour experience.
If you’re sensitive to loud music or busy crowds, consider whether this kind of activity suits your style.

Who Is This Tour Best For?

It might not be perfect if you prefer a quieter, more relaxed evening or are traveling on a very tight budget. Also, if you’re not into nightlife or late nights, this might be a bit too energetic for you.
