About this deal

Like a kid, you get a little bracelet like in an amusement park and off you go on your merry way to hours of entertainment! If it is not sunny, stay in the white room, that will make you feel more like an astronaut or someone in the cast of Brace New World. The Main Square used to be a huge market, separated by the type of products sold and this was where cloth merchants sold their wares.

Auschwitz was established by Germans in 1940, in the suburbs of Oswiecim, which is a Polish city that was annexed to the Third Reich by the Nazis. There’s actually a popular legend that goes back a long time, which explains “why” the towers are uneven. The longest queues – up to an hour in summer – can found at Lody na Starowiślnej, which has been serving a short menu of flavours – vanilla, chocolate, nuts, blueberry, wild strawberry, raspberry and coffee for 55p a scoop – for the past 30 years. As I walked through the infamous gates of Auschwitz I (1), I looked up to see, “ Arbeit macht frei,” or “ work sets you free” and immediately got chills. You can use the chart below to get some idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style.Keep in mind these are daily averages — some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day).

Businesses and rent costs on Ulica Floriańska are said to be the second highest in Poland, next to Ulica Nowy Świat in Warsaw as number one. Krakow’s food scene is constantly evolving and expanding, with a growing number of ethnic cuisines turning up alongside traditional Polish restaurants.Built in a Romanesque style, it isn’t just one of the oldest churches in Kraków, but one of the oldest and best preserved buildings within the entire city. The city of Kraków had massive historical influence over the years and was the capital city from 1038 to 1596 and then was invaded by German Nazis in September 1939 and turned into the capital of the German General Government. As of today, it currently serves as a tourist attraction and venue for a variety of exhibitions throughout the year. The legend says that the song ends abruptly because when the trumpeter was warning the city of the invading Mongols, they shot a flurry of arrows into the air and one of the arrows struck the trumpeter right in the throat. It is the first place I go after landing in Krakow, and a must-have if you are visiting for the first time.

Book a table beforehand, because these guys have managed to pull crowds out of the city with their Asian food. It was carved between 1477 and 1484 by the German sculptor Veit Stoss and in 1941, during Nazi Germany occupation, the dismantled altarpiece was shipped to the Third Reich. An important thing to note though; post-pandemic, Charlotte stopped serving their jams, chocolates, and honey in huge shareable jars.

The church was built between 1905 and 1909 and is the finest example of Gothic Revival architecture in the city. If you can, go into the bank to withdraw your money (as opposed to using outdoor ATMs that are easier to tamper with). About an hour and a half away from Krakow is the small village of Zalipie, the most well known of the painted villages in Lesser Poland. However, the south tower, being built by the older brother was clearly taller than the younger brother’s tower.

The other must-see is Auschwitz-Birkenau, a sobering and harrowing but utterly necessary experience to witness the horrors of the Holocaust.There are seasonal discounts from September to October as well for the Dragon’s Den, Sandomierska Tower, and the Church of St. Highly regarded as one of the most picturesque and photogenic cobblestone streets in Old Town Kraków, Kanonicza Street, or Ulica Kanonicza sits at the foot of Wawel Hill and is lined with historic and colourful Baroque and Renaissance style buildings and townhouses that once housed knights and private residences and is now home to boutique hotels and museums. From Cloth Hall you’ll spot the Town Hall Tower — all that’s left of the original 14th-century Town Hall. We found the travel guide very very useful, not only the tips it gives but the directions on how to get there and which tram numbers lead to each destination.
