324 Reviews The Wawel Cathedral is with the St.Mary's Basilica the most imposing and most visited church of Krakow.

The Market Square - Rynek Glowny
159 Reviews The statue in the Rynek Glowny, facing the Basilica of St Mary is of one of the leading figures of Polish Romanticism, the poet and writer Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855).

The Jewish Quarter - Kazimierz
150 Reviews It might sound odd but several of the most famous and beautiful churches of Krakow are located in the Kazimierz district. I started, on a sunny morning, my visit of Kazimierz by following the promenade along the river Vistule-Wisla at the foot of the Wawel hill. Two hundred meters south of the...

119 Reviews What first strikes the visitor entering the vast and magnificent chorus is the abundance of bright colors. Walls and vault are decorated with mural paintings by Jan Matejko in 1890.

32 Reviews As soon as I entered Ariel, I was charmed by the atmosphere. A small gift shop at the front of the restaurant offers a nice assortment of gifts, soulvenirs and post cards. The food and service were excellent. The art work exhibited on the walls here is quite good. They encourage you to come in...
27 Reviews It seems to be quite popular nowadays to serve food in old houses with old furnishing. The chain Polskie Jadlo has adopted this idea as well. If not visiting these places too often they are quite nice. The furnishings shows old equipment from farm houses, often with a tile stove as a show piece. In...
In Kazimierz - around Plac Nowy
19 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...
6 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...

A free bus will collect you from outside Arrivals and take you to the station (about 5 minutes) or you can walk (takes about 5 minutes). A one-way...
39 Reviews In December 2004 I went from Krakow on a daytrip to Zakopane by bus. Krakow's bus station (Dworzec Autobusowy) is located just next to the railway station. It is served by various bus companies like PKS, Szwagropol and Trans-Frej. Tickets for PKS are available from the driver, at the bus station or...

Don't leave krakow without trying one of the unbelievable yummy ice cream dishes available at the 4D ice cream eatery - very reasonably priced. Amber jewellery...
4 Reviews You will notice people walking around eating a long sandwich covered with pasta sauce and cheese. In actuality, it is a baguette, split in half. cooked in the oven until the cheese is melted. It usually comes with cheese and mushrooms and condiments. Here it's called ZAPIEKANKA, you can get it from...
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...
10 Reviews KS Cracovia Krakow is the oldest sports club in Poland. It was established in 1906 and won the first Polish football championships in 1921. Cracovia promoted to the first football league in 2004 after 20 years in lower leagues. The club has a strong hostility towards Wisla Krakow. It is tradition...
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...
The Market Square (Rynek Glowny)
36 Reviews Krakow is fabulous in any season. I have visited in holiday season, summer, and spring. The Cloth Market is the centerpiece of the historic square...untouched by wars. It's the purest part of Poland as far as architecture is concerned. The Cloth Market is filled with vendors who sell a miriad of...
St. Mary's Church (Kosciol Mariacki)
25 Reviews Upon entering the BASILICA OF THE HOLY VIRGIN MARY from the Market Square, you come across the Vestibule (1750-53) in the shape of the Tomb of Jesus.
