Quick ride by bicycle from Krakow to Kokotów

Route: Kraków to Kokotów

Kicking off from the heart of Kraków, this calm, 16.5 km cycle takes you southeast towards the little village of Kokotów. Kraków, with its medieval architecture and buzzing old town (a UNESCO World Heritage site!), is a great place to start any ride.

The route is mainly on paved surfaces—think asphalt and concrete—with just a sprinkle of cobbles and unpaved sections to keep things interesting. You'll roll along quiet roads and paths for most of the trip, with only occasional stretches shared with cars. There’s a mild ascent (about 75 m overall), so nothing too strenuous—just enough to feel accomplished!

As you near Kokotów, things mellow out into peaceful countryside. Kokotów itself is a small, tranquil village, perfect for catching your breath after leaving the bustle of the city. This ride is ideal for beginners or anyone after an easy escape from the city’s energy to the charming landscapes just outside Kraków. Don’t forget to grab some local snacks for a picnic at your end point!
