Krakow... Looking for thoughts...

[Robbi]

Thinking of going to the old city sometime in August, interested to hear any tips, advice or good ideas.

What are your experiences.?

It’s well worth a visit. Personally, I think it needs about a four day visit.
we went to the salt mines as well, and did Auschwitz. That was very thought provoking.
the old town is a great walk, just make sure you’re able to walk a lot or the little buggy taxi things will cost you.
oh, Schindler’s factory is worth a look as well.
better make that 5/6 days

Stayed here twice on Tossers tours… great location… and if you’re on a bike ask nicely and you get to park in the back yard

Fantastic city with lots to see. Gets busy in summer so I visited in February and enjoyed it.
Schindler’s factory, salt mines, Auschwitz as well as Pope John Paul’s house. Great restaurants and bars, friendly city.

Nothing to add that hasn’t been mentioned but yes, very interesting place to visit, and a hard reminder of how lucky we are

Pick up a copy of the ‘Rough Guide’ or something similar. All your questions (and more) will be answered.

I love the city. Been twice, (by plane) and it's amazing. Loads to see, loads of history..
Funnily enough, I didn't bother with Schindlers factory as was told its just an empty building???
Salt mines, about 20k away, awesome...
