The medieval city of Krakow is Poland’s third-largest city and home to around 750,000 people. It is a young and vibrant city, the seat of higher education in Poland. In fact Krakow boasts a further population of up to 200,000 students.
There is more to Krakow than just a stunning collection of cultural and architectural gems; it also has a superb collection of bars, clubs and NSFW entertainment. With prostitution being legal, and a bombardment of strip clubs at the ready, Krakow has a reputation for being one of the top European destinations for bachelor weekends.
In our Krakow sex guide, we take a look at the finest adult entertainment scene in Poland’s second city. 👀
Krakow’s Adult Entertainment
Sex and Prostitution In Krakow
In Poland, prostitution is fully legalised but there are a number of activities around the sex trade which are illegal, including: coercion, pimping and soliciting… as well as running a brothel.
Recent estimates put the number of sex workers in the country at over 30,000, with at least 2,000 of these working in Krakow. Most work as independent escorts or freelance prostitutes. Some provide personal services from establishments like massage parlours or strip clubs.
Street prostitution is not that common in Krakow but there are some small brothels which are operating illegally.
Most of the women working in Krakow’s sex industry are of Eastern European descent, and as well as Polish girls, there are many Ukrainian, Belarusian and Lithuanian prostitutes.
Krakow has a large student population and it is thought that as many as one in five students has provided sexual services for cash. That’s pretty crazy.
All things considered, sex in Krakow is relatively cheap compared to other parts of Europe. We’ll go over some recent pricing reports below.
Compared to Warsaw, Krakow’s scene feels much smaller and more discreet.
Escort Industry
There are thousands of escorts working in Krakow, most of whom provide basic services at a low cost when compared to the rest of Europe.
The escort scene here operates mostly underground… or online. There are no flashy escort agencies or official “escort bureaus” like you might find in places where prostitution is regulated, although you do get pop-up ‘agencies’ purporting to work the same way (but illegally, and typically run by criminal gangs).
In the past, Poland’s two biggest adult ad portals were Roksa.pl and Odloty.pl, which listed thousands of escorts and private apartments nationwide.
Both have been shut down following police pressure (Roksa was closed for allegedly facilitating pimping, and Odloty voluntarily went offline in early 2022 amid legal fears).
Their demise left a gap that several new sites scrambled to fill, including off-shoot clones of Roksa, using the same name but with different country domain codes. We’re not sure if these ‘relaunches’ are associated to the original sites, but it seems unlikely given the circumstances of the initial closure.
The largest successor we’ve seen in the wild is probably Escort.Club – it has over 795 sex ads at the time of writing. Another hotspot for escorts is the adult dating site, Erodate.pl, which is kind of like a Polish AdultFriendFinder.
From a punter’s perspective, the go-to resource remains the Polish-forum Garsoniera. It has a massive collection of field reports and details of encounters from Johns in the wild. There’s a sub-forum dedicated to Krakow – which reveals the current trends, prices and availability of some of the city’s most in-demand call girls.
The Euro-wide directories also remain popular with independents.
These are not location specific but offer a European-wide service and, between them, they have a decent selection of escorts available in Krakow.
- Happy Escorts – 20+ listings
- Top Escorts Babes – 20+ Listings
- Euro Girls Escorts – 110+ Listings
- City of Love – 10+ Listings
Krakow Girls On Cam
Krakow has no shortage of Polish cam girls streaming from the comfort of their own homes. Whether you’re looking for a live sex show, or just some dirty chat… there are several good cam sites that give you instant access to local Polish performers.
While there aren’t any major Poland-only cam platforms, plenty of international sites have a strong presence of Krakow cam models:
- StripChat – One of the easiest ways to filter for Polish cam girls using the nationality tag.
- BongaCams – Hugely popular in Eastern and Central Europe, with many Krakow-based models.
- Chaturbate – While not as heavily dominated by Polish performers, you’ll still find plenty of high-quality local cam girls here.
Remember, the local girls tend to focus their streams on peak evening hours when they can capture the most paying customers.
We recommend visiting around 10 PM – 3 AM CET (Central European Time) for the largest audience of Krakow models.
Krakow Brothels
Brothels are 100% illegal in Poland.
So naturally… Krakow has several!
Brothels can be found throughout Krakow in various guises from massage parlours to saunas, solariums and spas to simple bars.
Because running such a venue is so risky, many operators use code-names: “agencja towarzyska” (companionship agency) was the traditional Polish term that everyone understood to mean a brothel.
You might see phrases like this on business directory sites for places in Krakow.
So, for example, several years ago “Night Club 37” on ul. Mogilska 37 was listed in directories as a night club, but talk to the locals, or read reviews, and they’ll say it was a small brothel where clients took girls to back rooms by the hour. Everybody knew the real deal.
We can mention this venue because it was closed over five years ago, but many similar venues exist across Krakow. We can’t talk about those – but they are constant points of discussion on boards like Garsoniera and Reddit. Some even have public-facing websites!
Likewise, many of these venues feature flashing neon signs advertising their services, especially in areas just minutes from the Market Square. Some places are fairly blatant about their offerings. One venue near ul. Długa openly promotes a sauna, solarium, and even a glory hole as part of its “attractions.”
Often just flats above business premises, Krakow brothels have a pretty poor reputation. The prices aren’t particularly appealing either: often 250–300 zł for 30 mins, 400–500 zł for an hour.
Steep compared to a standard escort incall.
Their locations change all the time due to pressures from the authorities (and competition from other brothels). We suggest you steer well clear.
Red Light Districts
Krakow does not have a designated, legal red light district.
100+ years ago, the city had tolerated areas (certain streets near the old town, pictured above, where brothels clustered)… but those days are long gone and the scene is now considerably smaller.
Up until the 2010s, Krakow had a modest streetwalker flow concentrated around Kleparz, just north of the Old Town. Word is the streets around Nowy Kleparz and Stary Kleparz (the old markets) have long been notorious pickup spots after dark. The area is much quieter these days, but in the late evenings, you might spot lone women or small groups loitering on corners or by parked cars in these areas.
In absence of an official district, Krakow’s de facto adult areas are basically clustered strip clubs and dodgy bars in the Old Town.
Though Krakow hookers may sometimes tout around the clubs and bars, most are dissuaded from doing so by the strip club owners. As a result, most prostitutes working in the city tend to operate from their own apartments or work from strip clubs, massage parlours or illegal brothels.
If you’re traveling between Krakow and Katowice, you’ll notice that the roadsides, particularly along major truck routes, are lined with prostitutes working discreetly in roadside pull-offs, gas stations, and secluded parking areas. This stretch, often used by truckers and long-haul drivers, has long been known for its informal sex trade.
How much do the Krakow hookers make in an evening?
It’s hard to say, but there are reports of the typical street price in Krakow being around 50–100 zł for oral sex, or 100–250 zł for intercourse. A busy street girl might earn 500–800 zł on a good night, and in some cases she might even end up better off than the girls working in illegal brothels (since a huge cut is taken by the house).
The Price of Sex in Krakow
So, on the subject of price… what does sex cost in Krakow?
Well, the good news is punters generally don’t need to remortgage their flats for a night of pleasure. Compared to Western Europe, Krakow is excellent value… especially for solo travellers, stag groups or the occasional punter on a budget.
Here’s a rough guide to what you’ll pay for different services in the city:
Escort / Private Meeting: For a one-hour outcall or incall with an independent escort in Krakow, expect roughly 200–300 złoty per hour (about €45–65). 200 zł/hour is common for a mid-tier escort, though many now ask closer to 250 zł given recent inflation. Higher-end companions or models have the luxury of charging a lot more… perhaps 400–600 zł/hour and 1500+ zł for an overnight.
Punter forum consensus for a “standard” attractive escort: 250 zł/h in Krakow, which is slightly lower than Warsaw (where €60–80/hour is more common).
A local tabloid’s survey found Krakow’s average was 200–250 zł/hour in 2020 and about 2000 zł for a full night, which still holds mostly true in 2025 (we’d say maybe add 10–15% with inflation).
Brothel / Agency Visit: Though illegal, the rates in these setups tend to track the current escort rates plus a house premium. So a session in an underground “agency” might be 250–300 zł for half an hour, 400–500 zł for an hour. Also, keep in mind, many such places have a mandatory drink fee (say 50 zł for the lady). Add it all together and it’s kinda bizarre that these venues are still in such high demand.
Street Workers: Again, highly NOT recommended – 100 zł is the ballpark for a quickie. If the deed happens in her rented room or a love hotel, it could be 200–300 zł even if it’s only 15–20 minutes.
Erotic Massage Shops
You can find erotic massage parlours across Krakow and if you walk out of the Old Town, there are a number of salons that openly advertise erotic body rubs. The price of treatments varies depending on what you want.
It’s a fairly even split between young Eastern European girls and Asian ladies. Some are adept at the body rub services; others clearly have no idea what they’re doing with their hands. The more experienced masseuses will often specialise in trantric, nuru or Lomi Lomi rubs.
We can’t list active parlours in Krakow – but they are easy to find on any of the popular escort directories (or classified sites).
Most have a section for erotic masseuses, and here you’ll find a mix of genuine freelance options… as well as small shops advertising their services, often through the cover of a single working girl profile. They are easy to spot since they all use the same phone number. 🤦
In terms of pricing…
A standard one-hour erotic or Nuru massage in Krakow usually comes to around 150–250 zł. Basic nude massage with hand release (happy ending) might be 150 zł. If you want the extras (like body-to-body, oral finish, etc), that will likely push it to 200–250 zł total. So on par with a normal escort.
Full service is rarely offered in these massage shops.
Sex Clubs In Kraków
Swinging is popular in some parts of Poland, particularly in the capital, but there isn’t a particularly humming scene in Krakow.
However, there are some options for those looking for group fun or kink-friendly environments:
Party Club
Świętego Filipa 11, 31-150 Kraków
The Party Club is centrally located in the heart of Krakow – a popular club for local Polish couples.
They have four themed rooms offering a range of play choices including BDSM as well as a sauna, jacuzzi and dance floor. The crowd is quite a mixed age range with some international visitors in addition to regulars.
Entry prices vary depending on the night and your “configuration”… couples usually pay less than single males, and ladies get in free every time! The crowd skews local with events running on Friday and Saturday, from 9pm to 2am. Strictly no recording devices permitted.
Infinity Swingers Club
Kryspinów 442, 32-060 Kraków
Located a short taxi ride out of town in Kryspinów (known for its naturist beach), Infinity is one of Kraków’s top dedicated swingers clubs. It’s a women-run, sex-positive venue, hosting regular parties and play nights for couples, singles (sometimes), and the generally kink-curious.
You definitely won’t find drunk stag groups or creeps gawking from the corner. What you will find is:
- Playrooms with clean linens (hallelujah)
- Glory holes and private boxes
- BDSM gear for the adventurous
- A gynecological chair 😬
- BYOB policy — no overpriced bar tabs
- Themed events and some very very open-minded guests
Entry fees vary, couples generally pay around 180-250 zł, while single men pay more, and are usually restricted to designated events.
If you’re a couple traveling and want to swing, contacting Infinity Club is your best bet for an organized environment.
We also highly recommend the online community SDC. It’s a great way to connect with likeminded Lifestylers, in Krakow, wider Poland, and across the whole of Europe.
Kraków Strip Clubs
Krakow’s strip clubs are legendary… unfortunately, often legendary for the wrong reasons. If you’ve heard horror stories about Polish strip clubs, a lot of them originate here.
You should be aware that there have been reports of card skimming in the past so it is worthwhile paying by cash if you can. There is no suggestion that all strip clubs and dancers in the city are running scams, but a handful of unscrupulous members of staff could ruin a good weekend, so it’s best to play it safe.
That said, let’s break down the current state of play: there are several strip clubs in Krakow’s Old Town, and they range from somewhat upscale establishments to outright tourist traps.
As of 2025, city authorities have tried to rein in the worst scams, but it’s fair to say… YMMV.
Sapphire Gentleman’s Club
Mikołajska 11, 31-027 Kraków
A club that markets itself as the “only high-end strip venue in Krakow”, Sapphire’s is a modern and exclusive establishment that has actually managed to accumulate a decent pile of reviews.
Hmm, always a suspicious sign lol.
Split over three levels, there are several VIP areas with a smoking lounge, a couple of bars and a professional stage performance with pole dancers. It’s fully air-conditioned, comfortable and a pretty well designed club.
Your experience with the girls (and your credit card) will pretty much determine what kind of night out you have here. We’ve seen good, bad and ugly.
Gold Club
Świętego Jana 10, 31-018 Kraków
It’s flashy, centrally located, and pushes the VIP fantasy hard… velvet booths, champagne menus, and dancers who look like they’ve stepped off a Love Island casting call.
The roster is typically young, Polish and Eastern European dancers; and most speak at least basic English. Enough to get you to buy them a drink anyway!
You’ll still pay inflated prices, but the risk of being strong-armed into dropping €1000 on “lady drinks” is lower here. That said, don’t be afraid to say no if a dancer gets pushy!
Other notable clubs in the area include:
- Hot Peppers – Szewska 23, 31-009 Kraków
- Villa Incognito – Olimpijska 23, 30-065 Kraków
- Eldorado – Marii Konopnickiej 28, 30-307 Kraków
If you’re undecided on hitting the nudie bars around Krakow, here’s the blunt truth:
Many Krakow strip clubs have a history of scamming customers.
Not to be a Debbie NoJoy, but common tactics include spiking drinks, adding phantom charges, or having the dancer lead a guy on that something more will happen if he just keeps buying champagne… then presenting an eye-watering bill. All the shady shit you could possibly think of, yep, it’s probably been seen before.
There was even a widely reported case of a chain that drugged patrons and ran up charges into the thousands of euros on their cards; thankfully Polish authorities did bust that particular ring, but we highly doubt it was the last.
These days, clubs know the police are watching, so blatant drug-and-rob is less common. But rip-offs are still commonplace and it’s fiendishly difficult to have a ‘budget’ night out in a Krakow strip club, especially if you are blatantly foreign.
Local Sex Shops and Adult Stores
Despite the rise of internet shopping for adult goods, there are still quite a few brick-and-mortar sex shops in Krakow.
Most have very standard stock with a good range of the basics – but few have specialist equipment, furniture or accessories beyond the vanilla.
Here’s a list of some well-known adult retail outlets:
Sex Shop 61
Długa 61, 31-147 Kraków
This is a centrally located shop, north of Old Town.
It’s got the classic selection: vibrators, dildos, lingerie, DVDs (yes, some people still buy those), lubricants, and all the basics. It’s been around a while and is known for a decent range of fetish gear as well.
Friendly staff and relatively discreet entrance (though Długa Street is busy, so you might be seen popping in – only an issue if you care!).
Coco Butik
Beera Meiselsa 4, 31-063 Kraków
A tad more upmarket and much more…uhh, female friendly. This boutique markets has fleshlights and high-end vibrators in elegant packaging, plus sexy lingerie and some clubwear/cosplay outfits.
It’s in the trendy Kazimierz district, blending in among cafes and bars.
Also has a decent online selection if you’d rather get your goodies shipped direct.
Ann Marie Lov
Józefa Dietla 73, 31-050 Kraków
A well-established store (open Mon–Sat 10:00-20:00), packing a lot of wares into a fairly tight space.
They carry everything from basic condoms to BDSM accessories. Being on Dietla, it’s easy to find while strolling. The inventory is broad and the staff are said to be pretty knowledgable.
Decent option for couples.
One thing to note with some of the sex shops around town: you might have to ring a doorbell to be let in (security thing). Don’t be put off! Once inside, you can browse at your leisure.
Other Notable Adult Attractions
Beyond the usual suspects, Krakow offers a few unique or niche adult-oriented services worth mentioning:
Gay Sauna (Spartakus)
Marii Konopnickiej 20, 30-302 Kraków
https://www.saunaspartakuskrakow.pl
Sauna Spartakus (ul. Konopnickiej 20) is the city’s only gay sauna and something of a cult cruising spot. It’s been open for 30 years: an institution in the Krakow LGBT community.
Facilities include dry sauna, steam room, dark room (“relaxation area”), a small gym, and a sun deck. It’s a clean, well-maintained place by most accounts.
Inside they provide lockers, and you get a towel (plus condoms and lube are usually available or for sale – always play safe). It’s a place for men to meet men; afternoons and early evenings can be quiet, while late evenings draw crowds as the place heats up… literally.
If gay male action is what you seek in Krakow, Spartakus is the go-to. Entry is around 30-40 zł.
Adult Cinemas
We’ve been asked – but we can’t find anything concrete.
Unlike some larger cities, Krakow currently doesn’t really have adult movie theaters or peep-show booths open to the public. Back in communist times, “kino dla dorosłych” (adult cinemas) were commonplace in Poland, but now porn is accessible online, those have died off.
You might find a sex arcade booth in some sex shops (like a private cabin), but standalone porn cinemas aren’t really a thing here anymore.
Popular Hookup Spots
Whatever you want to say about the strip club scene (shady as fuck?!), there’s no denying: Krakow has a pumping nightlife. And the girls are beautiful.
Old Town Clubs are a big draw with the late night crowd. There’s Prozak 2.0, a multi-room underground club with EDM/techno. Or Teatro Cubano, with its latin music vibe, very popular with tourists and locals alike, known for wild dancing. Elsewhere, the pub scene in Kazimierz (especially along ul. Szeroka, Plac Nowy, ul. Estery) is excellent for more relaxed mingling.
Many Poles speak at least some English, especially under 35, so language shouldn’t be a major barrier in the city center. Buying someone a drink is a common friendly gesture… just don’t be pushy if they decline. Polish women and men alike appreciate confidence… but not aggressive behaviour.
Krakow is generally safe, but late-night misjudgments can happen, especially if plastered. The strip club scene speaks to this!
