Excursión ciclista de un día de Cracovia a Podłęże

Cycling Route: Krakow to Podłęże

Kick off your ride in the beautiful heart of Krakow, famous for its stunning Old Town, lively squares, and rich history. Head east out of the city toward Podłęże, a quieter village setting just beyond the Krakow hustle. The route is about 23.5 km long, with a gentle descent overall—nothing too steep, making it a great trip for most cyclists.

You’ll spend more than 70% of your journey cruising smooth asphalt, with about 40% on dedicated cycleways, so it’s relaxed and safe for those who prefer to steer clear of traffic. Expect mostly paved surfaces, and only brief patches on concrete or cobblestone.

This ride takes you from the buzz of Krakow’s cultural vibes into the calm countryside and small-town charm of Podłęże. Whether you’re escaping the city for fresh air or commuting, it’s a pleasant way to roll out and see the landscape shift from urban spires to village tranquility. Don’t forget to explore the scenic surroundings of Podłęże once you arrive!
