Krakow On New Year’s Day

KRAKOW, POLAND – JANUARY 1: People gather at Krakow’s UNESCO-listed Main Market Square near the Adam Mickiewicz statue, dancing to music played by a street DJ as police monitor the crowd, amid ongoing debate over late-night outdoor parties and noise in the historic city centre, in Krakow, Poland, January 1, 2026. Street-level discos and loud music have become increasingly common in recent months on the Main Market Square, prompting complaints from residents and calls by city officials for stricter regulation of nightlife activity.
