Published: October 12th 2020

Two short getaway breaks in the UK together and one mini caravan holiday in Norfolk with Fiona's two children and my Mum and Stepdad, Fiona and I were eager to travel to a country we both hadn't been to before. There were many European cities on the list but we narrowed it down to Krakow. I had seen many travel articles with stunning pictures of Krakow and some friends recently visiting it had put...

I'm a passionate traveller and very content when exploring different places. I love to experience new cultures, as well as getting the opportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world. My life changed somewhat in 2019 when I became a daddy and my priority has changed but my desire to travel very much remains. I have a fascination with Latin America; this is because of the beautiful scenery, fantastic wildlife, different types of cultures and history. I even learnt some Spanish to help when exploring these countries. TravelBlog has allowed me to share my stories with frien... full info

Thanks for the preview of a short visit to Krakow...
Linda has ancestors from Krakow and the surrounding area, so it is high on our priority list once Europe opens to Americans. We plan to visit Poland in 2022. It's also good to see that you are posting trips from 2017. With Covid shutting travel down, this is a good time to get caught up on past trips!

Krakow
Amazing that Linda has ancestors from Krakow and surrounding areas. I really hope you get to visit Krakow and Poland and meet any distant relations. Yes, I'm focused now so will definitely get caught up with the blogs. I hope you're both keeping safe and well

Hey Dave, good to hear from you. This building's architecture was designed I believe to blend in with the castle and perhaps that is what makes it extraordinary. Thanks for sharing on the forum :)

Krakow
I'm eager for the world to open to Americans but until then we will follow your European travels. Krakow is one of those towns on the list. Many people say great things about it. It sounds like you found some quality local food. It seems to offer art, history and more. Thanks for taking us along.

Krakow
I'm surprised it is tricky for Americans to get into Poland; Is it that there is no direct flight, or more around the immigration piece with needing a visa? Krakow is the perfect tourist location as it offers a variety of things to see/do. I'd happily go back just for the food :)

Poland
Ah, what a lovely part of Poland, and so much to see and do! The Wieliczka Salt Mine is certainly a highlight and very unique. I felt similar about visiting Auschwitz - it is important to know about what happened there, but it is certainly a sobering experience. Glad you enjoyed your time in Poland, and enjoyed the food too ?

Poland
Auschwitz most certainly a sobering experience and I pray this event will never happen again. I feel like I need to visit Poland again just for the food and it is super cheap too :D
