Visit Krakow - 10 Things That Will SHOCK You About Krakow, Poland

[@Ann9923]

Kraków was the most beautiful place I've visited and the people are really nice and know English very well.10/10 would recommend this city.Great video Mark,by the way!

your comment helped me decide which tour to take! Poland it is

[@dwayneelizondomountaindewh7073]

Vanessa T I used to live in Krakow and to be honest I don't know why actually most of tourist are going to Krakow. Overrated place in my opinion, there is a lot of better cities to visit in Poland (Wroclaw, Gdansk, Warsaw)

hi Mark, It's not really a shock if you know any Polish people but it's a shock visiting to find how very friendly and helpful they are compaired to some other cities in Europe,Plus their English is probably better than some English people,

[@Konkubinanr1810]

I live in Kraków, and i have some advice: on main square are like you said many girls with umbrellas but also offten you can see gypsies with roses, dont speak with them they are really annoying i mean they sometimes dont want to let go with propositions Second, restaurant can be cheap for you but sometimes its better to watch out its not offten i personally saw this once but if waiter know you have a lot money they can give you a menu without prices so you'll pay more And its worth it to see Kazimierz, Wieliczka, Niepolomice (we have a bus for there) Nowa Huta, Park Jordana, Kopiec Kraka and many more but: WHEN YOU ARE IN A BUS remember In poland you have to buy a ticket in machine in a bus or on bus stop and then validate this ticket! Controlers always wants to make you pay even if you theoritically shouldn't. And if you go to Wieliczka or Niepolomice you have to buy a ticket for area 2 not 1 because its only on Krakow and you will have to pay some like 150 zloty for that. (ridiculous i know) One more thing in Krakow espetially in Nowa Huta there are restaurants called Bar Mleczny, food is super cheap its only polish food like a polish dinner and for pierogi soup cake and sonething else you can spend only 20 zloty If you want to know something more ill try to answer ;)

And the most shocking thing for me was Auschwitz (Oswiecim). As well as you Mark I still get the chills thinking about that it and the images of what I saw are still in my head. I would recommend the visit to anyone to see what happened and not to allow something like that again. After the visit they would have a much different appreciation of the life in general. It made such an impact on me. In general Poland is an amazing country and the Poles are truly friendly and amazing people. Recommended destination for any serious traveler.

As some people already wrote in the comments: do not just say Nazi camps, but German camps or German Nazi camps, please, because many people don't know almost nothing about history and after hearing Nazi camp in Poland they are thinking Nazi was Polish.

I have also been to see the death camps, and would also say that some ignorant people would equate them with "Polish camps". They were NAZI GERMAN death camps and stop saying POLISH. It just happened to be situated on Polish territory. Thank you.

[@miauteuszkoodziejczyk]

Actually the polish government made "polish camps" by passing a law that forbids naming the concentration camps polish. Then there was an argument about Poles helping Jews. We learn in Poland that people from our country helped Jews escape from the camps or had hidden them somewhere, but there of course were the ones that handed them over to Nazis. There might be some poles officers in the camps on Nazis' side, but can you say they were polish if they killed so many other poles. Our government admits that there were the bad ones, but they say they were minor. The Israel side of conflict claims that Poles didn't help much, some of them said that their family members have died never meeting a Nazi. I think both sides are dump af

Kraków is my home town and it's really nice that you talk about places with such a respect. :) About concentration camps a lot of people didn't know who place them here and relaying on laying poles are often considered as aggressors there which hurt our nation a lot because we're really committed to our history and our heroes. Anyway try sightseeing in some warmer month. Then it's even more beautiful place. For example in August. We have New Orlean's Sunday and all swing festival then. ;) Highly recommend.

I too was impressed with the friendliness of the Polish people. One our first night in Krakow and Poland we couldn't get into our apartment, in fact we couldn't even find it as the map was wrong and couldn't figure out how to use the key pads on the main door. Fortunately we asked a Pol for help, he was also on holiday in the city with his partner. He spent so long with us on a cold dark night, helped us find our apartment and told us how the keypads worked. We were so grateful to this kind man, I hope he enjoyed his holiday in the city as much as we did. Love Krakow, Poland and it's people.

Random advice: this year we have a tick infestation in Poland, it is actually getting worse by the year ( mild winters are the reason, I suppose ). They are already present even in city parks, so it is good to have some kind of repellent at hand, easily available in a supermarket or chemist's. I hadn't had a tick bite in 40 years, and now I got 2 in the last three weeks, so did my daughter. I hope it doesn't scare you - you are probably used to dealing with much more dangerous creatures in Australia :) So, come over and enjoy.

Tony H You are welcome, I want that kangaroo repellent, should be potent enough to work on football hooligans aka "patriots" - we have a sort of infestation of those too 😉I wouldn't even mention ticks if a significant percentage of that filth weren't carrying borelia strands and a viruses causing meningitis.

The 'Kantors' usually have an exchange rate of 10-20% higher than your bank would give you though the ATM, and it also really pays off to 'shop around' a little bit. If you are planning to excange more than lets say 50-100$/€, than look for an exchange house a block or two away from the main streets. It really pays off. P.S., dont forget to always aks if they 'could do a little better', i have ALWAYS gotten a percent or two more.

im going to poland in august cant wait

[@FoxyKing93]

You should visit city of Tarnow, it's very close to Krakow. Good place for one day trip. Nice square etc.

[@jacekdziadkowiec]

People visiting Kraków should also go and visit Ojców and Pieskowa Skała. Kosciuszko mound and Krak mound are also the places worth seeing while in Kraków.

[@inuitplus]

Krakow is a MUST place to visit in Europe.

[@lisawelsh1749]

Followed your guide for Rome which was really helpful. Booked for Krakow for March. Hoping it will do the same x

Can't wait to go. The Polish have integrated very well in Ireland. Great people.

[@askaro1]

Irish are always welcome in Poland ;) Cheers!

[@themadfarmer5207]

Yes. Polish that I know are hard working, inovative, honest. Proud, hard drinkers, independent. They had to learn a lot of skills to earn a living during the communist government. Ironically the communist regime may have made them what they are. Of course I have no clue what they were like before occupation

Fun fact about Poland: in Krakow potatoes = ziemniaki In Katowice potatoes = kartofle In Poznań potatoes = pyry This doesn't change the fact, that everyone in Poland loves potatoes :)

I love living in Kraków. Thanks for making a video of it

[@trumpclintonstandwiththenw346]

Is it expensive to live there? Are there motorcycles and motocross races?

[@calliepickering2480]

1) it's one of the few places in Poland where people speak a bit of English so it's much easier to get around 2) there is a below ground anthropology museum below his feet which is an actual dig site of the original marketplace 3) there is another smaller market begind st Mary's church where locals sell their goods and there's a stage where they do dances to traditional music.
