The oldest surviving football club in Poland, founded in 1906 and playing top-flight football at the Józef Piłsudski Stadium, ul. Kałuży 1, on the southern edge of Błonia and about 20 minutes' walk from the Main Square. 15,016 seats, 1,057 of them for away fans. Tickets are sold at the stadium box office in person: bring photo ID and expect a one-off registration in the club database.

Wisła are back in the Ekstraklasa for 2026-27 after four seasons in the second tier, playing at the city-owned Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana on ul. Reymonta 22, ten minutes' walk from Cracovia's ground. Newly promoted Wieczysta Kraków play their top-flight home games in the same stadium, so one set of stands hosts two clubs.

The 24th edition runs on Sunday 18 April 2027, starting and finishing on the Main Market Square. The weekend also carries a 10 km night run, a roller-skate marathon, a mini marathon for children and a walkathon, so there is something to enter even if 42 km is not the plan.

The largest indoor arena in Poland, east of the centre and reached by tram. It takes what the football grounds cannot: the Hubert Jerzy Wagner Memorial volleyball tournament with the Polish national team, the ADCC grappling world championship in 2026, boxing and handball. Check its calendar before you fix dates.

Forty-eight hectares of common land 15 minutes' walk west of the Main Square, bounded by al. Focha, al. 3 Maja and ul. Piastowska — the default running and cycling ground for the city, and grazed by cattle until the mid-1960s. Paved paths run from here onto the Vistula embankment cycle routes in both directions.
