Krakow


Last week I was in business trip to Krakow.

This is one of oldest and the most beautiful town in Poland. At the time I was there the weather was fantastic with temperatures like in Greece (32C!)
There are number of nice hotels from 3 to 5 stars and hostels for a budget stay.
The historic town centre has a unique Main Market Square with Cloth Hall (Sukiennice) and The St. Mary's Basilica, which must be visited while being in Krakow. Than, you should see The Wawel Castle, where you see the famous Zygmunt Bell in The Wawel Cathedral or you will be better off if you start from the castle, as this takes long time to see it all and after that walk down through the Dragon’s Den to the Main Market. You will find there countless restaurants with local and international cuisine there. My favourite is “Gruzinskie Chachapuri”, just by the St. Mary's Basilica. This is because of its delicious food, great portions (more then you can eat) and very nice and friendly staff. On the beer side, there are many ‘basements’ (yes, basements because in Krakow you drink in those places) and bars serving local beer and other ‘beverages’. In some of them, you can also get fantastic ‘pierogi’ and other staff up to 3 AM! Avery one has its own unique atmosphere and clients. Good time guaranteed.

Of course there are many more tourists’ attractions to see, such as about 6000 historic sites and over 2 mln art works. Out of town you should visit Wieliczka salt mine with outstanding salt sculptures, but bare in mind there is very cold, so take some jacket with you.
