There's a significant amount of people who stop watching the video when that guy tried to sell me VHS tapes. The fact that people think that's real is hilarious. 😂 I changed up the format of my videos a bit. Trying to make them more engaging and a bit faster. Let me know what you think of the new style! Also don't miss the Communism Tour further into the video. The most fun tour I've ever been on in my life. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Love your videos! They're such high quality. The intro was fun. Also the music you chose fit every scene perfectly. Where do you get your music? Thinking about starting my own channel and curious how you find music to perfectly fit each scene. Btw, the tour guide was the funniest dude I've ever seen on a travel channel. That tour must have been so fun!

Can't go wrong with apples in Poland, one of the biggest exporters of apples in Europe...

LOL that Communist Tour was something else. The tour guide was a character, and the shots are a bonus lol Also, love all the food shots. The food looks delicious.

[@primetraveltime]

Thanks! Was a great time. Best tour I ever took. 😊

[@AdolfWonkler]

I subbed because of it!

[@primetraveltime]

Thank you!

nice video. Greetings from central Poland

[@SandraHof]

The building you mentioned that you needed to research is Sukiennice or Cloth Hall, not the Town Hall. The restaurant/bar where you ordered the Żywiec Jasne is at the old Town Hall tower. I love going to that restaurant in the summer as they will often have a great band playing there. I have lived in Kraków for nearly 11 years. You mentioned you are from LA. My dad was a LAPD officer for 30 years. I was born and raised in Torrance, about 5 miles from the ocean. I lived in Redondo Beach, El Segundo and on the Strand in Manhattan Beach as a young adult. I am glad you enjoyed my beautiful city of Kraków. It was an enjoyable video to watch. You handled Schindler’s Factory Museum very well.

[@primetraveltime]

Ugh, I looked up the Cloth Hall beforehand and thought I got it right but I guess I accepted what I read too quickly. Thanks for the clarification and your comments. South Bay is a great place. Small world! Krakow was amazing. Would love to go back to Poland in the future. Thank you!

Pozdrawiam Serdecznie!

[@user-fn5vd3ks1j]

Nice video. That Communist tour guide looked pretty sketchy at the start trying to hawk the gold chains; glad it all worked out.

[@primetraveltime]

Thanks!

[@d33zee]

VHS LOL i'm dead.....

[@SandraHof]

That Communist Tour Guide was hilarious! He was giving you a taste of communist days culture from the beginning.

[@primetraveltime]

Yup! Probably the best tour I've ever been on. 😁

[@user-hk6np3fu1u]

You will mix it in your oral cavity!! That guy was awesome, looks like a fun but scary tour 😀. Beautiful sites, hard to pick a favorite but loved the castle and St Mary’s, including the decorations outside.

[@primetraveltime]

Thanks! Was an awesome experience. Definitely check it out next time you're in Poland.

[@ignazio5]

Excellent video. A long viewing, but loaded with content. The castle and the views were probably my favorites, but that doner and the “grilled cheese” looked awesome!

[@primetraveltime]

Thanks!

[@DerLostPotato]

how many days did u spend in krakow?

[@primetraveltime]

2 1/2 days. There's a lot more to see so I suggest longer than that if you want to go to Auschwitz, take the castle tour and see some museums.

[@mooneyvr0616]

Find the best beer

[@primetraveltime]

In Poland? They don't have a lot of draft beers. The two I tried were really good though! I still love my German Pilsners though.

[@popmart3272]

To DscoPolo w aucie to przesada. W tamtych latacgh ten gatunek istniał jedynie u ruskich. To oni to przywlekli do nas po rozpadzie CCCP. Koleś puścił po prostu to co mu się podoba. Najwiarygodniej byłoby zapodać Modern Talking.

🗺Poland is an apple heaven => Poland ranks 4th in the world in apple production. You should try a Polish cake with apples, which is called "jabłecznik." 🗺Zapiekana is a fast food known throughout Poland and you can buy it all over Poland. A typical street food characteristic for only Krakow is "Maczanka Krakowska", which can also be bought in the Jewish quarter at Judah Food Market (Świętego Wawrzyńca Street 16), but in a place called "Andrus Maczanka Po Krakowsku". 🗺Older people in Poland do not speak English - during the communist era we were forced as a society to learn Russian, and learning other foreign languages was not possible/available in schools. However, the Soviets miscalculated, because when you force someone to do anything against their will, you tend to get the opposite effect. People rather didn't know Russian either, because no one wanted to learn it and rather everyone pretended to learn Russian. Besides, no one wanted to speak Russian, because we considered Russia to be the occupier of our country (Russians still think that they were our friends and did so much good for us ha ha ha). People who went to school after 1990 know English at a basic level, and the younger generation learns English in primary school, so they speak English very well. 🗺It's a pity you didn't try Pork Knuckle (pl. Golonka). Americans mainly eat beef. I think that eating pork shank is a nice experience for an American who likes eating meat - the meat is very juicy and tasty. I recommend trying pork knuckle when you are in Poland or in Kraków,, e.g. in a restaurant called "Golonkarnia" in Kraków. They have a special oven for preparing pork shanks there. ‼I hope you will remember Poland well. If so, please visit us again. We have many beautiful places and cities to visit in Poland (not only Wrocław and Krakow).❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

Sorry for the late reply and thank you so much for all the great info! I'm sad I missed the cake with apples and Maczanka Krakowska. I had a lot of great food in Poland but not enough time to enjoy it all. I expected to have a great time and Poland still exceeded my expectations. I would definitely love to go back again in the future and try some less well-known cities, which I think would be an amazing experience.
