Most 'Kraków tourist info' pages are landing pages that bounce you to somebody else's site. CityCompass is the opposite: an honest pocket guide that gives you the answer on the page. We use a few affiliate links and a couple of ads to keep it free, and that's it. No popups, no email gates, no fluff.
