Cheers Ryanair, that's our next weekend break sorted

Buckle up travellers because everyone's favourite budget friendly airline Ryanair is currently offering flights to this European city for as little as £15.

Yes, you heard that correctly.

For anyone who's tired of the wet and chilly British summertime, Ryanair offers some seriously cheap trips abroad for some much needed time away, extra baggage not included of course.

Below is one of the airline's best deals for September and August, with flights from London Luton costing as little as £14.99.

The city we're talking about is Krakow, which has become an increasingly popular tourist destination over the past couple of years.

Where is Krakow?

As we mentioned, Krakow is situated in southern Poland and is a city which has changed hands multiple times across the the past few hundreds of years.

Close to the boarder of Slovakia, Czechia and Western Ukraine, Krakow has a long and rich cultural history, with its old town earning the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978.

With its beautiful architecture and long history, Krakow is the perfect place for a day of sightseeing before enjoying a cold beer in the Main Square.

How much money will I need for a weekend in Krakow?

One of the main reason the Polish city attracts dozens of young travellers every year is the fact that you can get a lot for your money in Krakow.

The currency in Poland is the Polish złoty, with one złoty being the equivalent of 20p.

Prices will of course vary depending on where you are in the city, but the average cost for a beer in Krakow is around 15 zł (£2.95) - some places will even have drinks for as low as £1.30 - which is a lot more palatable than the prices we're used to paying in UK cities.

With food and drink prices much lower than other European cities, travellers report spending needing as little as £100 spending money (excluding flights and hotels) for the weekend.

Your choice in hotel will also impact your final bill, with prices varying from £35 a night to a more expensive £77 a night.

There are also several hostels in Krakow for anyone looking to really cut down on costs.

What is there to do in Krakow?

Of course there's more to a holiday than just knocking back a half litre glass of Tyskie (pints don't exist on the continent remember) and Krakow has much more to offer.

From learning about the unusual history of the towers of Saint Mary's Basilica, to Wawel Royal Castle and various museums, there is plenty of things to fill your daylight hours with.

On a more sombre note, the city is around an hour away from Auschwitz concentration camp - with the location serving as a devastating reminder of the region's darker history.

What is the temperature like in Krakow?

Most of us have been disappointed to have experienced what has been a very underwhelming and wet summer so far, which means that you're probably looking for somewhere a little warmer to spend your hard earned annual leave.

Although few places can guarantee perfect weather, August is typically the second hottest month of the year in Poland, which makes it a pretty safe bet for a trip to Krakow.

At the time of writing, the temperature in Krakow is currently 24°C, with forecasts set to rise to 29°C over the next week.
