Is it cold in Krakow in November?

I will be in Krakow in November. Is it cold there? Does it snow? How much. I will also be in the tatra mountains. Do Polish people like a person to try to speak Polish even if they are not good or do they think it is insulting?

It may be a bit chili The tatry Mtns are awesome! You'll have a blast. I think people in PL are impressed that you attempt to communicate. They'll be pleased to see this. Not insulting at all.

Here are a couple pics from last october:.... have to make smaller

Novembers are usually drizzly and cold. The weather is similair to the US in the midwest. Snow can start falling in November and it can get cold. The Tatra mountains get more snow and earlier. The roads don't get plowed as well as in the US and if Poland gets hit by a snowstorm roads get really bad. But that's usually later in the season. Novembers are mostly dreary and rainy.
Polish people like foreigners. They like to see that someone is trying to learn their language and very often will help you out. They are proud people and they feel important when someone tries to speak their language. Many are learning english and would be very happy to practice their skills with an American person. So if you speak Polish enough to communicate, you don't have to worry about them being insulted. It's just the opposite.

Yeah... the ruts in the road get deep and icy. People still drive like idiots...so be careful

Thanks for the information. I also would like to know where I could buy a CD or even better a DVD of Kolendy to take home.

Hello! In the mountains there is a lot of snow So take a warm clothes and be careful in the Tatras!!! Now these mountains are a little bit dangerous but... beautiful!!! Just take care. Kolendy you can buy in shop: EMPIK (next to Mariacki church) - on the market square in Krakow or in any other music corner. Have a good trip here
