... 50,000 people about 1.5 hours east of Kraków by train. It is near the Bieszczady mountains, supposedly the wildest in Poland. Our travel guide claims that hikers return from the mountains with stories of encounters with wolves and brown bears and ...
another collection!
... were some fabulous drain spouts. We already took some drain spout photos in Gdansk. Now we've got some dragon drain spouts from Krakow. I have drain spout photos from other cities so I think I've got another photo collection going! Love it! I also have a ...
Nachtmusik
... also royal tombs (not as creepy as I'd hoped) and I climbed up narrow stairs to the Sigismund Bell, the largest in Poland. To my surprise, the little restaurant across the courtyard was not an overpriced place with bland food. It was quite good and ...
Wawel Castle
... ; We also got some history of the kings and how they became elected officials from the aristocracy, of which there were a lot in Poland. That explains how Augustus II of Dresden was able to come in and get elected king. We’d heard his ...
Walking the Jewish Trails
On my 35th day of travel, I decided to spend another day in Krakow. The city of Krakow has been the capital of Poland for hundreds of years until it was moved to Warsaw. Full of history and yet untouched by the war, its a great place to explore the past ...

... Schindler's list and the former Schindler factory. We also saw where Pope John Paul II made addresses in Krakow. We rounded out the day w/ the some delicious Polish food. I had potatoes, ham, and ...
Wawel Castle (pronounce the W's as V's)

Failed day trip to Auschwitz / Swimming
... We walked home and had an ice cream on the way to cheer us up. We decided to go to a water-park just outside Krakow instead. Took a taxi there, and stayed for around 2 hours. It was absolutely brilliant, shit loads of massive slides and just general fun ...
Family trip
I spent a brief 2 days with my family in Krakow.. Playing tour guide was defiantly interesting. It was nice seeing the city alive and bustling in the spring time.. A nice contrast to my previous two ...
Novus - show us your Krack
... what was a pretty long day with 3 train changes. Without too much problem we arrived in the late afternoon at our destination of Krakow, Poland. As we had been sitting around all day the 20min walk to our hostel was a good chance to stretch our ...
Krakow and Auschwitz
... little girls walking their cows down the road... it felt like a time warp. We drove through beautiful countryside into Krakow. After some creative driving (Krakow has recently made some of their streets pedestrian-only and our GPS didn't know ...
The Old Captial of Poland (dunno why it was moved)
... old city center and happier people. I don't think I saw anyone smile in Warsaw, and I think I saw half of the people smiling in Krakow. Since we only had half a day to wander about the city, we hit up old town right away. This turned out to be a stones ...
Mam kuchnie (I have a kitchen!)
... named thus: Olimpia, Acropol and Babilon (!). One looks like it's being renovated. Today has been a grey, rainy day in Poland, quite appropriate to the mourning that the Poles are beginning for their president and many members of their government. I took ...
Krakow - all that it is cracked up to be...
... clear of those things and went for the Costco hot food section (Kilbasa sausage, Meatballs and some kraut/pasta)... In all, Poland/Krakow has been quite a nice treat. A little retreat to the modern comforts of home, from food (they even have ...
Bus trip means flying high I s'ppose
... checked out the trains, and came back at the right time to buy a ticket to be told that this train doesn't exist. Moldova is in Poland, but at least I found out before the ticket this time. So I will have a nice time with Ania and her flatmates, and some ...
Summer's over in Krakow
... like a castle, as much as just a series of old buildings, but was still pretty nice to visit, and like with anywhere in Poland, had a seriously elaborate church that contained the tombs of many great kings (and queens). Finally, our last stop before ...
Last stop in Poland
... Prague to Wraslaw and it turns out that as we crossed the border my passport was overlooked, I do not have a stamp for entering Poland. This was only slightly problematic when we were locked out of the gates to get on our train for Kiev... more on that ...
21/05/2009
Got up a 7 as we need to be ready to catch the tour bus by 830am. After going around all of Krakow hotels we ended up about 500m from our starting point to change bus direction Auschwitz. We were finally on the way by 1030ama and the bus took us there by ...
The Magpies
There are a lot of magpies in Krakow. They are a little smaller than crows and fill roughly the same niche that the scrubjays do in Portland. However, there are LOTS of magpies. They build twiggy nests up in trees. In one area I saw dozens of these nests ...
Did I just break my tailbone?
... chocolate for ever! So we went to their cafe. We sat outside and sipped chocolate drinks. Delicious. Best chocolate of Poland and possibly anywhere. While sitting there we saw this huge beer mascot walking around saying, "Piwo Gratis"...or free beer. ...
Krakow
Krakwow! The first three days in Poland have been magnificent! Krakow is such an nice town, I`ve enjoyed very much, particularly after these busy days in Vienna. The city is unique, as a aprox. 100 meter wide park surrounds and encloses the whole old ...
My Hitchiking Experience
... screaming out that this would be a mistake but somehow the challenge had been set and now the game was on. I left the Krakow penthouse at about midday and headed off on the tram to the city outskirts, I clutched instructions in my left hand and my ...
Back in Krakow
... in the afternoon. Unfortunately, we only had time to see Wawel Castle. This is the historic home of Poland's royal family (Krakow used to be the capital before Warsaw). An impressive building set upon a hill, it sometimes looks like a ...
Back to Krakow!
... It was so late, I had to give up my original plan about making a daytrip to mountain resort town of Zakopane. Though I do love Krakow, I thought I had already overstayed there (I stayed for 5 days and 4 nights the week before). I was ready to move on. ...
