Krakow's public transport network (MPK — Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Komunikacyjne) covers the city with trams and buses. There is no metro in Krakow. Dogs are allowed on trams and buses under specific conditions. Krakow's Old Town and Kazimierz are very compact and walkable — most sights are within 15–20 minutes on foot from the centre, making public transport less necessary than in larger cities.
