Krakow Travel Blogs

We took the bus back to Krakow early morning and arrived nicely on time. Yet we had pre booked tickets for the train to Warsaw and so we had to wait quite a long time in the station. The weather was sad and rainy and we had to carry all the luggage, so we decided not to head back to the center of K…

I got in to Krakow; my flight was from Munich early in the morning, so I did not get any sleep.  After getting in to Krakow proper, I decided to stop by my university to ask about my housing, I hadn’t received any information yet, just an email from the secretary of my program saying I would…

Unfortunatly i wasn't able to sleep to well due to the fact one of the guys came up to our room to sleep in the middle in a very very small bed. His room partner had thrown up so he couldn't stand the smell:) Anyways, after trying to sleep he finally got up and dressed himself to go downstairs to h…

i am in love with Krakow! :)

DAY ONE.Oh yes, Day One. I even name days now, I just thought I should go up one step higher with my blogging abilities and disabilites. I made it past the German speaking German people when I checked in for my flight in Stuttgart without having to speak more than two hundred German letters. It's a…

Photos which I took last summer. They show you how look like Krakow in my eyes. Magic moments from walking close to my house, Bagry lake (I love this lake) and in the city centre. It is just my Krakow :)

I randomly met up with a group of Californians and two Polish girls who worked at the tourist information booth. The Polish girls wanted to take us to a local sandwich place that was apparently the best bargain food in town, so, being the poor backpackers that we were and resolved not to spend …

I've just checked in in our hostel after walking so many miles. And what did I do? Ran to the computer of course! I sent two SMS to Wayne and he did not reply though he told me to ring him, he was supposed to see me at the station. I think I saw him though on the streets with a green shirt and…

We slept in since we had to pack and leave the apartment by 11 am.  Pulling our luggage behind us, we wandered back to our rental agency near the main square.  They promised they were staying open until 9 pm so we could store our luggage there until 8 pm.  We would catch the train at…

I was never able to find a couch to surf in Krakow. I think it was the poor timing of hitting a long holiday weekend, where most of the locals left town. This left me without a guide and wandering the streets of Krakow with the rest of the tourists. I do feel I missed out because of this, but what …

I stop by in Krakow on my way to Berlin, Germany. Krakow is the very popular place in Poland visited by people from different countrys. Beautifull architecture, churches, Royal Castle, streets. Short trips to Wieliczka (UNESCO patronage Salt Mine),Auschwitz-Birkenau (The biggest Nazi concentration camp), Zakopane (Tatry Mountains Curort)After few hours in Krakow I took AirBerlin Airlines to Berlin.Rest of the day I spent in Berlin :)

For these last days I've met a lot of foreigners who were traveling to Poland just to see Krakow, and because Warsaw was, more or less, on their way, they'd stayed there for few days. But, in the end, they final direction was Krakow. Good for them. Krakow is my favourite place in Poland. This city…

Today was another travel day, but before we left Krakow we did some more shopping in the Cloth Hall.  We ate lunch at our favorite restaurant in the square, Pizza Dominium.  After lunch, we packed and cleaned up our apartment.  We turned in our key and left for the airport via ta…

     We headed into Krakow today and picked up a local guide. She explained that Krakow was not destroyed like Warsaw was in WW II. She said that the Nazi's had headquarters in Krakow including at the castle on Wawel Hill and that they liked the city and as a result they didn't …

Actually, I hoped that holidays to be recreative. However, I was completely knackered when I came home in the evening yesterday - and it was not later than 9. I just went for a walk around the city to take some photos, because at night the old town seems to be more lively than by day - especially i…
