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 on the number of sex workers in the country suggest that are over 30,000 prostitutes with over 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.
Krakow has a large student population and it is thought that as many as one in five students provides sexual services for cash.
Sex in Krakow is relatively cheap compared to other parts of Europe and you can find escorts charging as little as €50 for a drop-in. Erotic massage will cost you around €50 plus extras.
Most of the women working in Krakow are of Eastern European descent and as well as Polish girls you can find Ukrainian, Belarusian and Lithuanian prostitutes.

Sex in Krakow
Whilst you can find sex in Krakow, the majority of venues that are visible for tourists are quite pricey and can sometimes have a poor reputation for taking advantage of visitors to the city. Whilst this can and does happen in other European cities, it is worth being aware of and pay by cash, where you can, to avoid card fraud.
Brothels
Though illegal, brothels can be found throughout Krakow in various guises from massage parlours to saunas, solariums and spas to simple bars. They are not always easy to find but you can always ask local taxi drivers to take you to an ‘escort agency’ (agencja towarzyska).
Often just flats above business premises, these brothels often have poor reputations for service, price and accommodation.
Their locations change all the time due to pressures from the authorities and competition from other brothels.
Outside of the city, you can also find some larger sex clubs which may have additional facilities such as a bar and dance floor in addition to private rooms.
Swinging Clubs
Swinging is popular in some parts of Poland, particularly in the capital, but there is not a large scene in Krakow. There is one main club which offers lifestyle evenings.

The Party Club is centrally located in the heart of Krakow and is 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.
