Krakow - Post Report Question and Answers

What do people who suffer from environmental or food allergies need to know?

Most menus are well marked for vegan/vegetarian, and wheat/lactose sensitivities. Alternative milks (soy, almond, oat) are widely available, there are some gluten-free options but no dedicated bakeries, and the number of vegan-only restaurants continues to surprise me. Pollen can be really bad here when everything blooms in March-May, and if I forget to take my daily allergy meds for more than two days, it can hit me really hard. - Jun 2024
