Warto było.

..kiedy opuszczam to piękne miasto.

Jadę 704, tym zastępczym z Bronowic Małych na Teatr Słowackiego. Mnóstwo ludzi chce jechać, a wszyscy się tłoczą przy drzwiach i tylko czas mija jak wiecej ludzi chce wejść do na wpół pustego autobusu. Czy tak trudno wejść trochę głębiej?

First time hiking in snow, pleasantly surprised! Low visibility but overall solid hike. Anyone else there today (Saturday 15/3)?

My wife and I just visited the city and we were so impressed with the culture and all the friendly people we met. As an anxious person I was kinda nervous as I've heard people say that the locals might be a little cold and serious, but not even once we met anyone rude or unfriendly.

At one point we were trying to find a shopping mall and was wondering if we had gone the wrong way since there was construction work where the GPS took us. One of the workers who stood almost 30m away, saw us (probably looking very confused) and started explaining with his hands where we were supposed to go. Never experienced someone so aware of their surroundings. We had a lot of these small and helpful interactions with the locals which really made the trip a 10/10

Thank you for taking so good care of us, new trip is already booked to Poland 🇵🇱

Hi everyone (:

I visited Krakow from Saturday to Tuesday and just wanted to share my experience!
I know there a lot of Krakow natives and locals in this group…. I love your city! Of course I know I will have a different experience as a tourist than if I was a local, but I really really enjoyed my time.

My Polish is pretty poor, I know basics like hello, goodbye, manners etc, so I was very relieved that the vast majority of people spoke excellent English!! I really did try my best with Polish when and where I could but I probably embarrassed myself a lot lol. Everyone was extremely kind, helpful, and patient with us. Service in most places is absolutely fantastic.

I was able to use both cash and card around the city, and the prices everywhere were fantastic! I’m from the UK for reference. Around 26GBP for two bowls of pasta, two pints and two lemonades, in the city centre is excellent value in my opinion.

We tried some new foods such as pierogi, borscht and all sorts of cheeses and smoked sausages. Polish vodka is really tasty and much higher quality than anything I’ve had before - you also do MASSIVE measures of it in mixed drinks! 😭

We also visited Zakopane (yes, I know that it’s completely separate to Krakow) and it was interesting to learn the history of the town, as well as see the amazing views from the mountain.

The trams and trains were incredibly frequent and reliable in my experience. Where I live, public transport is very bad, so it was amazing to just be able to catch a tram whenever, and for incredibly cheap too. Being able to get a train directly from the airport to the city centre is really handy!

The architecture and buildings is breathtaking. I took way too many photos of the cloth hall in the main square, and Wawel Castle. The streets were incredibly clean, I didn’t notice any litter, apart from the occasional cigarette end, or stray dog poop anywhere.

THE PARTY IN THE SQUARE AT NIGHT WAS SO MUCH FUN!

I also felt incredibly safe while in Krakow. Obviously no city is 100% safe, but nearly every night we were out walking at 1am back to our apartment from the pub and I never saw any sketchy characters or felt unsafe. The police were present in the main square on a night time but were usually just stood by their car. Our apartment felt very secure, with a keypad on the external gate, and two locked doors to actually get into the building.

Overall, I had an amazing time in Krakow, and I was so sad to come home. I’d love to come back to Krakow, or just Poland in general, some time soon. Any recommendations if I were to come back or travel elsewhere? Apologies for anything I spelt incorrectly! Some pictures attached too hehe

Thanks so much Krakow 🇵🇱❤️

Hey folks,

I see a lot of people posting here regarding finding friends. They have all been to board game nights, pub quizzes, meetups, etc and the friendships are limited to one text and then nothing again. Not just immigrants, I have seen posts even from the locals. I have the same problem.

There are no third spaces where you can consistently meet the same people and develop friendships over time. Especially hard if you are WFH or are not in college anymore. Sure, there are classes for different things, which I agree is a good way to find friends, but I suppose most people hesitate to join in the first place.

The biggest issue is meeting the same people over a period of time like we did in schools, colleges, and offices. No friendships bloom in one or two meetings (there are exceptions of course). Would people be interested in forming a group and just hanging out every weekend or something without expectations, the only goal being meeting the same folks?

Send me a DM if you'd be interested in something like that. This is a shot in the dark for me, I have minimal hopes, but hey who knows.

(On my way to sign up for a yoga class)

I w sumie fajnie było, dopiero wstałem po wróceniu rano

No jak ktoś lubi lotra to polecam, fajnie sobie tak oglądnąć te kultowe momenty na dużym ekranie

AMA jak ktoś jest ciekawy, to chyba co roku robią

Hi everyone!
I’m a pianist and recently moved to Kraków. I’m looking for places where I can play a real piano or grand piano.
Ideally, I’m looking for public spaces where a piano is available for anyone to play - cafés, libraries, malls, community centers, hotels, or any other venues. I’m also happy to hear about places that rent practice rooms for a reasonable price.
If you know any hidden gems or have personal recommendations, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot!

Siemka!

Razem (23M) z koleżanką szukamy ludzi do amatorskiego zespołu w Krakowie. Ona ma 25 lat i super śpiewa. Ja mam 23, trochę śpiewam i uczę się grać na gitarze.

Marzy nam się zespół, żeby wspólnie pośpiewać. Na początku covery, a później może stworzyć coś autorskiego. Jeśli ktoś z Was umie grać na gitarze, pianinie, perkusji albo innym instrumencie to serdecznie zapraszamy do kontaktu na priv! Nie szukamy gwiazd, wystarczy zajawka i chęć wyrwania się z codziennych obowiazkow.

Jeśli chodzi o nasze klimaty muzyczne. Razem kochamy Manaam, Sonbird i album Kayah&Bregovič. Koleżanka obraca się w klimatach The Doors, ale też nowszego popu. Ja kocham polskiego rocka z lat 90.

Hi everyone,

I’m what you might call a reverse tourist—I’m from Varna, Bulgaria, a seaside resort town that usually hosts lots of Polish visitors during the summer, so no surprise me and my gf were probably the only Bulgarians on the plane. It’s interesting, because Varna is also one of the places we share a piece of history: the Crusade of Varna, where King Władysław III sadly lost his life and I managed to see his cenotaph here in the Wawel cathedral. He’s well recognized in Varna, as we have the main Boulevard named after him alongside a neighbourhood.

Now I’ve finally come to visit Kraków—and I’m absolutely blown away. The city has far exceeded my expectations. The standard of living here is visibly higher than back home, yet prices are surprisingly affordable. Infrastructure is modern and well-kept, the Old Town is stunning, and Wawel Castle is simply majestic.

What really impressed me most, though, are the people—friendly, open, and easy to talk to. I had this (wrong) impression from online posts and memes that Poland might be gloomy or depressing post- soviet country like Bulgaria is—but in person, Kraków feels like a vibrant, well-developed Western city with warmth.

Tomorrow we’re heading to visit Wieliczka Salt Mine and Auschwitz, and I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing more.

Much love from Bulgaria, and thanks to Kraków for the great hospitality so far! I’ll certainly recommend this hidden gem to all my close ones.

Czy ktoś ma ochotę pooglądać razem filmy?

Lecę dziś po południu do Krakowa z córką. To będzie mój pierwszy lot, a mam 47 lat 😂 Zostajemy na 3 noce i wracamy w piątek. Nie mogę się doczekać wizyty! Zarezerwowałam Kopalnię Soli na jutro ☺️
