Kraków - Krakow - Cracow





My parents and I then travelled to Krakow, the one of most beautiful cities in Poland. The city is interesting, so lively, and beautiful.


In Krakow, people use Zloty (PLN). The ratio between Euro and Zloty is 1 by 3 up to 3,7.
No time difference between Poland and Germany/Netherland.

How to get there

1. The best offers is with Ryanair. Take the flight from eindhoven to krakow. Or from berlin to krakow but with Germanwings (transit at Köln) or Air Berlin (direct).

2. Soon as you arrive at the Krakow's ariport, you need to a free bus to the train station near the airport. The train station is quite small, from there you can take any train that goes to the center of the city (becareful, there is a train that goes to other direction as well).
You can buy the ticket also on board, there is a ticket machine in the train.

3. In Krakow, I stayed in Mosquito Hostel. It was fine and good and not too far from the main train station (ca. 5 minutes by walk).

Things to know

1. Girls are beautiful and cool.
2. Krakow sleeps at 1 or 2 am.
3. Again the portion of each menu is so big, so perhaps you can share with 2 up to 3 persons.
4. Pierogi and zapienkanky are the typical polish foods.
5. Sometimes you can find products promotion in the airpot (departure), if you'r lucky you will get sim card (Polich phone number) for free.
6. You have to visit Wawel Castle,the salt mine, Auschwitz, and the place where the late pope John Paul II was born where there are many chapel which are hidden in side the forest (coooll). Actually you can ask to a city tour office or to the hostel/hotel for the tour to those places but you can also go there your self.

My oppinion, Krakow is very nice and very impressive, lively, and beautiful. People are very polite and friendly. If you need a place to have fun but also to have a marvelous adventure then this city is the best one for you.

My parents, Caesar, Kryz and I had a dinner in a Polish restaurant in Kazimierz area.
