Kraków is a beautiful place to visit, food is amazing. But not so much in the way of swinging.

I’ve been there many times (circa 50+ times) over the last 20 years.

It was, better 20 years ago, before the budget airlines started flying there. Back then there were only 3 direct flights from the UK to Krakow, 2 from Heathrow and one from Manchester.

Over the last few years Poland has become a lot more expensive to eat and drink out. It’s no longer the cheap destination it once was.

Booked my holiday today and going in February for 7 nights. Not too bothered about the swinging scene, just wanted to visit the camps, go to the salt mines and explore.

I personally wouldn’t bother with the salt mines. It’s very, very repetitive and boring. Walk down stairs, walk along a tunnel and the guide says “here is another cave”. Repeat, repeat and repeat….

We were so bored. We asked if we could kw at the tour early ti get out. Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to leave. The chapel carvings were impressive and I wish they did a fast track to just see that. Otherwise, I would personally skip visiting there.

Getting to Auschwitz, catch a bus from the coach station, next to Krakow Galaria (and train station).

The “free walking tours” around Krakow are very informative. I’d recommend the one on the Jews of Krakow and another on the Nazi occupation of Krakow. You pay at the end of the tour what you feel the tour was worth.

As you’re there for a week, you could visit the site of Plaszow camp which is located about 3 miles from the centre of Krakow. This camp was featured in the film Schindler’s list and ran by Aamon Goth (played by Ralph Finnes in the film). There’s nothing left of the camp, but memorial statues there to remind everyone of the horrors that took place there.

Thank you. The Salt mines to me look amazing and you are the only person I have heard say otherwise. Guess we all like different things. I am really looking forward to going as had booked Krakow twice previously and both trips were cancelled due to the pandemic.

We enjoyed the salt mines. Kraków is very interesting place to visit and I am sure everyone will find something good over there. There is so many bars, pubs and restaurants with amazing food and drinks too.

I once met a woman in krakow who worked as a cashier at the salt mines. I told her I found it a long, repetitive boring tour. She replied that I was right, but they’ve been told not to tell people that.

The “free” walking tours are far more interesting and informative. The Jews of krakow and the Nazi occupation of Krakow walking tours are worth going on. The latter includes a visit to the cells of the former Gestapo HQ., where the walls contain messages left by detainees.

The churches are also worth going inside and the old university building too.

Personally, I preferred Krakow 20 years ago, before the budget airlines started flying there, as there were hardly any tourists there. At one point, a few bars had signs outside stating “No English”, due to the problems the stag parties had caused in Krakow. I’d visit Sopot during the Summer months, to keep well away if the stag parties in Krakow, as they hadn’t discovered that area of Poland at the time and then return to Krakow in winter months.

I went again earlier this year and a Polish friend warmed me that the cost of living had soared. I hadn’t been since just before Covid and she wasn’t wrong, it’s no longer the cheap destination that it used to be.
