117 Reviews If you are well aware of what happened under the Nazi regime in the countries invaded by Germany you might opt for an individual visit.

The Market Square (Rynek Glowny)

15 Reviews Don't recall if we had read about the Bar Mleczny here in Krakow or if one of the VTers from the meet pointed it out, but along with Chiara and Alex we decided to try it out. We found this one in the old city center of Krakow. Bar Mleczny I was told means "milk bar", now we did not see any milk, but...
In Kazimierz - around Plac Nowy
21 Reviews There seemed to be plenty of locals and it seemed like every 3rd person was on a laptop! Mixture of geeks, students and tourists taping away on their keyboards. Seemed like this place was an 'any time' of day place and pretty laid back. French and Brazilian music make the place even more...
9 Reviews This place is just off Starowislna, at it's junction with Sienna. There are several sections within this club, each playing different kinds of music, so there will always be something playing for everyone! The decor is very funky, with a lot of space to sit down, as this place is very big from...
62 Reviews While in Poland we travelled between Warsaw and Krakow by train. Before traveling, I searched the Polish Rail website for info about timetable and prices.

42 Reviews Wieliczka Salt Mine, few kilometers outside Krakow are visited by millions of visitors every year! If you are in the city, the cheaper and easy way to get them is to take the n. 304 bus from from Dworzec Glowny Zachod. There's an easy bus stop close to Bagatela Teatr on Juliana Dunajewskiego...

In actuality, it is a baguette, split in half. cooked in the over until the cheese is melted. Here it's called ZAPIEKANKA, you can get it from any street vendor. you can get it in all different...
7 Reviews Wieliczka caters to about 1 000 000 tourists a year (thats a VERY large amount) - during the summer months they average about 6000 tourists a day... by my rough calculations that equates to about 75-100 people per tour. Way too many for my liking! Go in Winter - we were there in January, and our...

You can get the identification cards at Cracovia headquarters. For identification card you need also a photo. The headquarters are open from Monday to Friday...
3 Reviews We are really lucky here in Krakow that the closest ski slopes are only 40 minutes driving from the city. They also have lights and are open till 10 pm or even longer if there are at least 5 skiers on the slope. One of the places that are not too far from Krakow is Spytkowice. It's on the way to...
