Safety tips for Krakow visitors.

How to be on the safe side in Krakow, Poland.

The emergency phone number for integrated services is 112 but one may call directly the police at 997, the fire brigade at 998, and ambulance at 999. All four telephone numbers are toll-free. Unfortunately, there are little chances anybody on the other end would speak fluent English. So, if you do not speak Polish yourself, get somebody who does (surprisingly many Krakow natives prove very helpful in need). 

Police stations do not employ interpreters, but they will bring one from the Krakow headquarters if necessary.
