20 Things to do in Kraków, Poland Travel Guide video transcript:
We kicked off this trip to Poland with a visit to Krakow, a city people have been telling us to visit for years and now we know why. Krakow in the summertime was wonderful! We spent our time enjoying castle views from the river side, exploring neighbourhoods covered in street art, eating some of the best pierogie of our lives, and also discovering what we think may be the best ice cream. The following is our travel guide to some of the best things to do in Krakow!
Wawel Castle is Krakow's crowning jewel, and for centuries it was the residence of the kings of Poland. You can see a mix of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque architecture all in one place.
While in the city, we also had to walk the Royal Route, which was once the historic coronation path of Polish kings.
After visiting the basilica, we spent a bit of time walking the Main Square, which just so happens to be Europe's largest medieval town square.
And that’s it for our visit to Krakow! We hope this video gave you a few ideas of things to do around the city. If you have any other places to add to this list or any tips for fellow travellers visiting Krakow feel free to share those.
This is part of our Travel in Poland video series showcasing Polish food, Polish culture, Polish cuisine while visiting Kraków Polska.

10 reasons to visit Krakow (top 10 vlog krakow)
10 reasons to visit Krakow (top 10 vlog krakow)
Krakow, Poland - one of the most beautiful places in Europe.
We have made a „top 10 with things we think would be nice to see/do in or NEAR Krakow (Wieliczka salt mine and Auschwitz former nazi conecentration camp included)
Krakow is with his 1,4 milion inhabitants, the second largest city in Poland.
Legend has it that it was built on the cave of a dragon whom the mythical King Krak had slain. The dragon's cave is right beneath the Wawel castle and can even be visited today.
1) FLORIAN'S GATE
.The gate, built in 1307 is one of the few surviving parts of the ancient city wall. The gate is 35 metres high and was the city's main entrance in medieval times. Today it's the best place to begin your walk in the old town.
2 RYNEK (main market square)
Kraków's main market square designed in 1257. With its 200 square metres the Rynek is one of the largest medieval squares in Europe.Through the ages here was the place where kings were sworn and public executions held. The Rynek has always been the natural stage for public celebrations, including the famous one back in the 17th century when King Jan Sobieski III organised a great firework which ended badly when some explosives were accidentally fired into the crowd.
3) SUKIENNICE (Cloth Hall)
In the centre of the old towns square grows unexpectedly the Sukiennice, or Cloth Hall . It was built in the 14th century. Even today you can buy here a great variety of stuff as in a turkish Bazar. In the underground, in 2010, there was opened a hi-tech history museum of the city and a 19th Century Polish Art Gallery.
4) ST. MARY'S BASILICA
The original church was destroyed during the Tartar raids in the 13th century. St. Mary's was rebuilt in Gothic style and finished in 1320. From the northern tower the hejna? mariacki - the city's famous bugle call - is played every hour on the hour. Surprisingly, The song breaks off in the middle of it in honour of the legendaty trumpeter who was shot in the neck while warning the city of Mongol invaders (NOT turks, as I said in the video :) )
5) STARE MIASTO (Walk around the old town)
Even without a human or virtual guide, walking aimlessly around the old town is a unique experience. Inventing your own trip back in medieval time, searching for a traditional chocolate factory or just hunting souvenirs, in Krakow is the place where you can do all of that. And if you are tired of history and clichees, there are places where you can be as modern as you desire.
6) FOOD!
Definetly a reason to visit Poland, food is ab-so-lu-te-ly gorgeous. And much pricyer than in other European countries. We strongly reccomend you to choose a restaurant with polish dishes.
7) WAWEL CASTLE
You can easily spend a whole day in the castle, visiting the must-see cathedral, the crown treasury and walking around the courtyard and gardens.
8) NIGHT LIFE
Like the Czech republic and Slovakia, Poland is also well known for its euphoric night life. In Krakow nights are days and long story short- you name it, yo can do it!
9) WIELICZKA (Salt mine)
is a town known for its ancient salt mines, less than 20km from Kraków. The salt mine here is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and for sure a must-see. The Entrance ticket is not cheap- around 20 Euros per person but it includes a live guide, in different languages. Wieliczka is really a hidden gem, which we will explore in a different vlog.
10) AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU (Former Nazi Concentration Camp)
A very dark page of mankind history can be experienced 2km outside city of O?wi?cim, 65km from Krakow. Even if it is a spot where milions of tourists come every year, don't think it is easy to visit the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau. The spirits of the dozen of innocents murdered there seem to tear you apart during your walks on the alleys and it feels like every brick of the blocks is crying. Pain, death and humiliation, learning about all those atrocities you will overwhelm you. But it is a lesson we must learn.
Being only 90minutes away from Krakow, Auschwitz can be done during a day trip from Krakow.
We will dedicate a separate vlog to this unusually cruel and sad place.

Krakow Apartment Tour in Poland
Come join us for an apartment tour in Krakow, Poland as we show you one of the nicest places we've ever rented on AirBNB anywhere in the world. This massive attic flat had a giant bedroom, big kitchen, two living rooms and two bathrooms which for only two people made us feel like we were living in a mansion for the week. We've found traveling in Poland to be excellent value given how cheap it is to find good apartments in various cities to rent along with affordable groceries and dining out not being that expensive. Honestly, the hardest thing about staying in this Krakow apartment was actually leaving once the week was over.

Krakow Apartment Tour in Poland travel video transcript:
Alright guys I think we may have found the coolest AirBNB to date. And I feel like we've been saying that a lot lately because we've been staying in some pretty amazing places but this one Sam and I were both yeah wow.
This one we get to stay here?
Haha. This one is a little extra special. Yeah. It is so nice I have to say that I almost feel like we you know we don't want to be here for just a week. We kind of want to be moving in. Yeah, yesterday after we checked in Sam was like well maybe we should stay a few extra days just so we could enjoy the apartment.
So anyways we're going to get started with the tour now.
And the apartment is instantly cool with an owl mat to welcome us
So Sam is standing in front of the main entrance right now so this is the view you get as soon as you come in.
The kitchen but before we go in there we do have like a little small bathroom under the stairs. Our first of two. Under the stairs. Under the stairs. Look at that. You can actually see the stairs right here.
But anyways the bathroom is not even interesting. No. You need to follow me out to the kitchen. Yeah, the kitchen is what really first impressed. Look at this. Like the exposed wooden beams. And we're in an attic. We're on the fifth floor.
So like look at this. Yeah, it is so cozy. Let's do from from wall to wall. Like I don't even know where to look there is so much cool stuff going on. Like isn't this like the coolest way to hang utensils, cups, wine glasses. Whatever. I like that everything spices. Like your glasses and everything you need for cooking it is all right there. You can see it so you're not like rummaging through cupboards.
Uh but anyways that is we've got on this level. Next up we need to go upstairs to see the rest of the apartment. So follow me. And try not to. I'll try not to hit my head on the beam. Although I'm pretty good at doing that. That seems to be one of my great talents in life. Bumping my head. Sam's many talents. That is my greatest talent in life.
So once we get to the second floor we've got this cool living area. Yeah. It is massive. So a couch over here. Look at that. A couch over there. We've also got a cool computer desk. I've already claimed it as my own. You claimed it first but I kicked you out this morning.
And then this is our another little table for us. We've used it for work. We've also used it for breakfast so far. Yeah.
But I just love this sitting area. This is so cozy. Uh this is where we had our glass of wine last night.
And the views are so cool. We can see the river off in the distance.
And if one living room wasn't enough here is the second one.
And the cool thing about this one. Well there is a really big TV.
And then more windows in the bathroom. And you can just see like rooftops and chimneys. Wasn't this your like Mary Poppins in Poland moment. Yes. Are we going to see a chimney sweep crawl out from the maybe. From the rooftop here.
So that concludes the apartment tour. I think we're really going to enjoy our week here. Yeah. I'd say so.
And I mean like this place is maybe not only one of the coolest AirBNBs but also one of the best value AirBNB we've ever had.
This is part of our Travel in Poland video series showcasing Polish food, Polish culture and Polish cuisine.
