With its cobblestone streets, magnificent architecture, underground clubs, rich history and amazing nightlife, Krakow is a must-visit for any avid traveller. However, as with any popular tourist destination, the city also has its share of tourist traps. One of them, not surprisingly, is its strip clubs.
While many visitors may be enticed by the allure of a wild night, there are countless reasons to skip these establishments and delve deeper into Krakow’s authentic nightlife.
Reasons to Stay Away from Strip Clubs in Krakow:
- Authentic Nightlife Awaits: Krakow boasts many clubs, bars, and nightspots to meet friendly, young, beautiful women and men in a genuine and non-exploitative environment. Experience the true Polish party spirit in its most genuine form.
- It’s Risky Business: Unfortunately, many strip clubs in Krakow have been associated with illegal activities. Visitors often get scammed or worse. If you’re looking for a good time, you’re far less likely to find it there.
Common Scams in Strip Clubs
If you’re still contemplating visiting a strip club, you should be aware of the frequent scams in these establishments. These include:
- Drugging: Clubs may slip something into your drink, making you an easier target.
- High Alcohol Content: Some clubs use a 95% alcohol content spirit called ‘sprytus’ to intensify your drinks.
- Deceptive Billing: Even if you input your PIN correctly, they might charge you multiple times. As they say, the pin was wrong.
- Hidden Costs: Some clubs don’t display drink prices. A single drink can start at a whopping 300zl / €65
- Strong-arm Tactics: Security can be aggressive. If there’s a dispute about the bill, they won’t let you leave and can get violent.
- Theft: There are reports of patrons being robbed of their personal belongings, including watches and cash.
Some Safety Tips:
If you choose to ignore the warnings and still decide to go, here are some tips for staying safe:
- Pay Cash: Using cash can help you track your spending and prevent unauthorised transactions on your credit card.
- Never Go Alone: Always go with a group of friends. There’s safety in numbers.
- Stay Sober: It’s easier to be aware of your surroundings and avoid scams.
- Security: Don’t talk or even look at the security as they will take any accuse to hurt someone
