Krakow What to Pack

Luggage and bags: Krakow’s central Old Town historic district, turned into a pedestrian precinct, teems with stores of all sorts. They line every street in the area, at the main avenues.
So, don't forget large and many suitcases and bags. Some gifts are large in size :-)))

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Pants with stripes! I was told I had to dress like a Pole, but I did not know what Maciek meant, could it be you have a pair of these pants in your closet? :o)

If not, you can buy some there..........hehe!

Miscellaneous: Ok, I am joking, can u see Maciek in a pair of these? Or only folk bands?

I will never tell - top secret!

Miscellaneous: Krakow is a very romantic place with some attractions for kids as well. Never try not to get to Krakow your lovely wife/husband lover/fiance and your kids.
OK, sometimes you may try it - look at my picture :-)).

Miscellaneous: Don't forget good maps of Cracow (Krakow). For drivers: with restricted parking/driving A, B, C zones; parking lots and one-way streets marked.
If you forget them no worry: there are tenths various maps sold in many points in Krakow.
Get a map of environs as well if you are going to visit them.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I recommend you to pack larger clothes then you used to wear. Why?
There are at least 2 reasons:
1. Eating/food in Krakow is delicious and you may catch EA (eating addiction) and it's not necessarilly low-fat eating so be prepared to get a few kilograms/pounds.
2. Hmmm... Krakow is not a paradise for early morning street jogging and sport lovers. Instead you can practice crazy dancing all nights there.

Miscellaneous: When you come back do NOT forget to save original packagings of all good you bought in Krakow. Just in rare case you have to return something. Add bills haha :-))).

Look at my pic. Hmm... order a truck better.

Miscellaneous: Get a notebook (with Polish-English dictionary on CD, guide and maps of Krakow on CD or buy them in Krakow) - remember about 220V (230V soon) voltage and European plugs (check my Poland's page for more).
If you don't have any notebook you can go to any of numerous internet cafes (look at the pic; Rynek Glowny = Main Market Square), some operates 24h haha - specially for very addicted VT-ers.
