We Tried Delicious Polish Food in Krakow, Poland

It's our final day here in Poland and so many of you said that you cannot leave Poland without heading towards Krakow to try some tasty Polish food.
We woke up super early to catch the train from Warsaw to Poland (which takes around 3 hours to do). Upon arrival we started looking for a yummy breakfast snack and if you're in Krakow you need to try Obwarzanek krakowski which is the Krakow bagel.
After exploring the largest old town market square in Europe we headed out to find some Polish street food a Zapiekanka which totally reminded Jess of her childhood.
After all these savory snacks we wanted something sweet and you guys know we love trying donuts from around the world - so we had to have a pączek from Stara Pączkarnia.
Before we catch our train back to Warsaw we needed a proper lunch so we went to Bar Targowy to have some Polish Dumplings.

Welcome to final episode here in Poland - hope you enjoyed this series - there's a lot more to see in this country so on our return trip where should we go?

[@cabraonropes5622]

Zakopane, kopalnia soli wieliczka, and a ekstraklassa football match to see the polish ultras and warszaw uprising museum

[@oceansaway5675]

If you are interested in not so hyped areas you should definitely choose mountains on the south (but not during the highest season), lake region on the northern east, Bialowieza forest, castles as Ksiaz, Moszna. Also it is a must to see Gdańsk! It is called a Polish Copenhagen.

[@juliadrozdz7247]

Definitely Zakopane, Moszna Castle, Wroclaw go to the coast to Sopot and Gdansk!

[@skibusia7]

Wrocław and Lower Silesia Region - lots of castles (including Książ), less known mountains (Sudety) and health resorts! This is a region of Olga Tokarczuk - a recent winner of the Nobel Prize in literature.

[@my259]

[@Inktvis_777]

That's correct. It also worth to mention that the pierogi ruskie took their name from the Ruskie Voivodeship - the territory existing in Poland (Crown Of Polish Kingdom) in the years 1434-1772, not from Russia. Russians call ruskie pierogi polish dumplings.

Great video of Poland, Warsaw and Krakow. Interesting architecture, clean, historical, great culture. Pierogies are my favorite food. And you liked the most home cooked cheapest offering the best.

Resmi Roshni Thanks from Poland :D

[@KeepHimAtBay]

when in Poland, never say that something is russian, especially food:P

[@toppole69]

I was just about to say that as well👍🏻

[@kubiq2854]

it is not russian, it only a name of type

[@whereismylife]

To expand upon this: "in English: potato & cheese pierogi or ruthenian pierogi; 'Russian' is incorrect!. The name does not indicate any Russian origin, since such food is unknown in Russia. Ruskie pierogi comes from the prewar Poland's region called Red Ruthenia (today it is within a territory of Ukraine)." Also, you'll never meet a people that despise the Germans and the Russians more. A faux-pas to say the least. Remember, in communist times, you would find the meat market counters baron. False puppet government installed. You would be beaten in primary school for speaking polish vs russian. They mowed down demonstrators with machine gun fire from tanks on many occasions. Additionally, VERY proud of the fact (see solidarity movement/museum in Gdansk) that they were the first to free themselves of this oppressive force, no thanks to the west giving a flying f*ck.

Well done, and I have subscribed to follow other travels now. It is very bright and clever thinking to support your journey this way ...and I don't know how it was for you along the way, but the picture you emit is awesome Team-Work and your both lives will forever more be filled with Treasured Memories!

[@KristofDE]

If you come back to Kraków, you need to spend more than a day here, it's really not enough. A weekend works if you hurry, but three days is better for some relaxed walks around the different districts. There's a whole lot of interesting places off the beaten path which I rarely - if ever - see in these sorts of videos. A park in Podgórze, the parts of the Vistula that are further out from Wawel (both ways!), some less visited streets outside of the market square etc. A lot of that stuff is sometimes just a few hundred meters away from places people always end up with, so it's a shame to not go the extra mile and see something even more local and generally unknown to tourists :) But happy you enjoyed your time here nevertheless!

I love you guys and follow your vlogs with the bell notification on and will continue to do so. As a content creator to another please check all the flight zones for your drone prior to flying. At 1:15 flying over the Wawel Cathedral is actually a class C airspace. Is where the airports airplanes line up to land their planes at the Krakow airport. The reason I know that is because I made the same mistake not knowing that and when I realized I brought down the drone right away ( it gives a notification on the Mavic pro handle but sometimes its delayed )and I should've done my research more. I'm just hoping that you guys wont make the same mistake I made as I make sure to not fly in any restricted air space. As a fan I thought I should just share that with you. Otherwise great video as usual. Looking forward to the next one!
