Krakow
July 24, 2007
Finally in Krakow! After 8 long hours on the bus , we arrived at the hostel around 5AM. The bus where going to take around 3 to 3.5 hours, but we took the wrong bus and ended going trough cities like Lodz and so on..
But now we are finally here
But now we are finally here
This is a nightclub located just 1min from the main square in Krakow. They had live artist performing before ,but it wasn't so popular so now its just a jazz club with jazz music.
The music where nice, but the people where missing. Perhaps because I visited on a Tuesday. I did meet some Englishmen, and we had some conversations about Racism and a lot of other more or less important subjects (mostly less).

Krakow. Indigo Jazz Club.
Krakow Salt mines are listed on Unesco's list of World Heritage, and its easy to understand why. With over 2000km of passages and chapels, museums, small underwater ponds (they are calling it lakes, but its more like ponds) and a lot of the old equipment from the mining that once took place here.
Show up in good time for a tour since the queue can be pretty long, expect around 30mins waiting for a ticket.
The Tour starts with a descending by the stairs to 64meters and goes all the way down to 135meter below the ground. Bring you walking shoes, since it can easily be around four kilometers of walking if you plan to take the museum afterwards (which you should, its good and even better, its free!)
There is a mandatory guided tour included in the admission price which is 68 zloty for Adults and 48 for Students. They did not check our student ID so if you are REALLY cheap perhaps you can get a student discount even if you're not a student. If you want to take pictures (which you do!) its 10zlotzy extra). There are reduced prices if you are willing to take the polish tour.
Regular ticket for a guided tour in a foreign language costs 60 zloty's.
Reduced-rate ticket for a guided tour in a foreign language costs 50 zloty's.
Highly recommended
