6 reviews of Krakow, Poland | write a review
We went to Europe to take a river cruise on the Rhine but spent the first few days in Krakow. We stayed at the Polara Hotel old but clean & quaint. Hired a driver by the name of Andrea who picked us up at the airport & took us to our hotel. He also drove us to the Salt mines which is a must see. He drove us to the camps which is a good way to go & made sure we signed up with an English spoken tour group. I was in the American Army of occupation in Germany in 1950 & heard of the camps but never got to see them.The are a horrible monument of mankinds in humanity to fellow human beings.I would normally pick up a pebble as a momento where we travel but not in this evil place. It is a must see keeping in mind it can happen again. The city is very nice with lots to see . Make sure you visit the former Popes church, it is beautiful and the central square with its market place. Andrea also drove us back to the Airport at 5 am so we could catch our plane to Munish then onto Amsterdam

Although it has been many years since I visited Poland, I will always remember Krakow as one of the most magical cities! The old buildings, the carriage rides, the artists selling the most wonderful jewelry, and carved dolls....and the churches...so unimaginably beautiful!!! The people were very kind to us, even then, when their country was in turmoil. The article was good but did not give an accurate picture of just how moving a visit to Krakow would be!

The walk from the Wavel to Krakow Town square is a real treat. Take the road that leads past Pope John Paul's residence and the Jagolian University where he studied. We walked from our hotel to Krakow twon square in the evening for a wonderful time. Lots of young university students and great outdoor restaurants with great prices. Poland is a real great value.

Between the castle, the churches, the salt mines, the marketplace, and the dining options, this city is one of Europe's best secrets. Tours of the castle are available in many languages. Don't forget to pay your respects to the dragon! Take the bus to Zakopane if you can spare the time. Travelers from all over the world can be found in the pubs in Zakopane at night, especially during ski season. Get a table and just listen to the patrons. It won't be long before you hear someone speaking your native language.
