I know that there have been a few European minibreak threads recently, but haven’t seen much mention of Poland.
Does anybody have any experience of Cracow / Krakow? Things to do in the city or nearby.
I will be there for long weekend later in the month with the lady and another couple. Staying in an apartment in the centre near the old town.
Thoughts so far are a visit to Auschwitz (either by train or bus), then after that will probably wander around the city and need a few drinks.
I spent a week or so there for work a few years ago, but mostly was just outside the city, so although I remember it being a nice place, I didn’t really have time to explore or have good night out.
It would be good to get a couple of recommendations for somewhere with a bit of atmosphere, casual and a decent mix of Polish and other western/southern European foods for dinner – I quite like pierogi etc, but some others in the party may not.
Also a few decent bars near the city with bands or DJ that we can have a night out in without being surrounded by hoards of British stag parties.
I have had a look at trip advisor for ideas, but personal recommendations from those that know the city or have visited recently would be good.
Thanks in advance.
