Krakow is a city steeped in history and culture, from parks to nightlife you won’t be bored when exploring. There's certainly nothing dissapointing about making a trip to the city, especially for a bargain price. Most visitors head to Krakow to see Auschwitz, and it was for this same reason I made a trip to the city.
Having never been to Poland before, I didn't know what to expect. The city has a run-down feel in parts but it's one that prompts you to think of it's history and the communist era of its past. Visit Kazimierz This historical district of Poland is located south of Krakow’s Old Town.
Kazimierz was left in ruins following the war but has since became a popular spot following its revival. You’ll find an array of pubs, traditional restaurants, unique buildings in what is now a desirable area. I walked here from the Jewish Quarter which took around 30 minutes.
Feeling ready for lunch, I went to Makaroniarnia - an incredible pasta restauraunt. On the inside, this lunch spot has a French feel with shabby chic decor. It certainly has a cosy feel and even more so while I was there, because there was a dramatic storm outside.
Visit Auschwitz Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau is an experience you will never forget. Tours take place in silence, as you walk around with your guide, you hear the names of holocaust victims narrated through your headset. Tour guides take you through buildings containing items belonging to victims from glasses to suitcases and even children’s cl.
