Crystal Palace will take on Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa Conference League semi-finals, with the first leg set to take place at Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium on Thursday, 30 April.
The match is being played in Poland rather than Shakhtar's home of Ukraine due to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. However, Shakhtar's record here is strong, so Palace should not be treating this as a neutral match.
The fact that the match is being played here also means that Crystal Palace fans have the opportunity to enjoy a European away trip in Krakow, something that isn't all that common.
For Palace fans making the trip over to Krakow, our guide below covers all of the best accommodation options.
Cheap places to stay near the Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium for Crystal Palace fans
The Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium is around a 20-minute walk away from the main square in the centre of Krakow, but there are still some supporters who would rather be closer to the stadium than that. Here are some cheap options within half a mile of the Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium.
Hotel Biala Gwiazda
Hotel Biala Gwiazda is located literally a stone's throw away from the Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium and is available for as little as £100 for two nights from Wednesday, 29 April to Friday, 1 May. Yes, it's basic, but if all you need/want is somewhere to sleep, it's ideal.
Hotel Polonez
Hotel Polonez is located around 400 yards from the stadium and is more of an upmarket offering. A buffet breakfast is available each morning, which could appeal to fans who want to eat something substantial before heading out for the day.
Sander Apartments
The Sander Apartments offer an entirely different experience from a hotel. Each apartment comes with its own garden and terrace, while WiFi is also included.

Best hotels near the Main Market Square in Krakow for Crystal Palace fans
The Main Market Square in Krakow is considered the biggest tourist trap in Krakow. If you are based near the square, then you are going to be close to just about everything the city has to offer. Some of the best hotels near the square include:
Hotel Palladian
A four-star hotel just 100 yards from the Main Market Square that will provide Palace fans with a bit of luxury. Each room is huge, and there is an on-site restaurant. However, if you are planning on being out and about for the majority of your stay, this hotel will probably be lost on you.
Czeczotka Palace Apartments
These uniquely designed apartments are also centrally located in Krakow and are well worth checking out. Each apartment comes with air-con, free Wifi, city views and a hot tub.
Antique Apartments Old Town
These apartments come with a fully equipped kitchen, making them ideal for supporters who are planning on staying for at least a couple of days. The design of each room blends modern furniture with traditional features.
FGG says: Apartments are the way to go
Based on the accommodation prices across the city, it seems that apartments are far cheaper than hotels. Considering the vast majority of fans are going to be out exploring all that Krakow has to offer, there is little point in splashing out on something overly expensive or luxurious.
