As the congress industry, we recognise the importance of the principles of diversity, equality and inclusion in building a strong and thriving global community. Our involvement is rooted in the belief that everyone, regardless of their background or identity, should enjoy equal opportunities. We hope that by adopting these values we can offer events that are not only successful, but also positively impact the local community.

The Krakow Convention Bureau, part of the Tourism Department of the Municipality of Krakow, supports the local industry and event organisers with implementing sustainable solutions during their events, as well as with strategic and ongoing tasks.

Krakow has been consistently pursuing climate neutrality for years, by implementing sectoral programmes in various areas, for instance to increase renewable energy sources, energy efficiency and access to transportation. Representatives of all communities, local self-government organisations, businesses and residents are invited to participate in climate and environment initiatives.

It’s that time of year again when to make the most of the spring weather and some additional days off we like to spend time close to nature, often by the water. In our search for pristine nature, we often come across unpleasant surprises – in rivers, lakes and other water bodies, as well as along their banks. Illegally dumped bags with rubbish, barbecue leftovers, and traces of detergents used to wash cars that leave multicolor film floating on the surface of the water. Such views can ruin your well-deserved relaxation. That’s why we would like to remind everybody that we are all responsible for taking care of the waters.

The 8th edition of the cycling campaign "Cycling to work, i.e. home, bike, work...and repeat" was launched on 1 March. The Krakow Convention Bureau and the Department of Tourism are taking part!

The water in Krakow’s taps is commonly available, environmentally friendly, and much cheaper than bottled water. And most importantly, it is of high quality and is continuously monitored.

Organisers of conferences, congresses, cultural and sports events can take advantage of special rates on public transportation in Krakow. 

2030 sets the horizon which will allow us to rise above our current tasks and design the future of Krakow so that it fully corresponded with the metropolitan ambitions of the city and our aspirations.

On 6 December 2023, the Krakow City Council passed a resolution adopting and implementing the Sustainable Mobility Plan for the Krakow Metropolis and its functional area.
