jamboinglasgow Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well my brother is having his stag weeked there this verry weekend so I will find out. I could of gone but stupid uni thought it would be fun to shove all my essays on the last days of term so I am too busy. My Dad has even gone though he was complemplating whether to go to Auschwitz (about 10 miles down the road) to have a look (saying he has never been there before and is interested in history) but thinks it may ruin the trip, I agree.

Dean Winchester Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Havent been personally but my dad went on a stag do last summer. Got pretty pished etc. and absolutely loved it. They went to Auschwitz on the Sunday and they all pretty much said it was the best part of the weekend. Interesting and very eery. Couldn't stop talking about it when he got home.

conn artist Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 krakow is an excellant town, def get to aushwitz if you can, very humbling experiance. stay in the old town and you wont need to leave the old town walls. i recommend eating at this place http://www.cracow-life.com/eat/restaurants_details/106-U_Babci_Maliny if you want to eat good cheap polish food. it is hard to find, basically it us under a library. look for the sandwhich board outside with the cartoonish image of the granny on it that is on the above website. the name of the placed translates to something like granny rasberries house. decent wee irish bar not far from the main square with sky etc for the football. enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Lambretta Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Krakow is superb in the summer, sitting in Rynek Glowny (Very Large Main Square) drinking beer and watching the Polish models stroll past:food-smiley-004: I've been 3 times and have a bit of a soft spot for the place:p You should also go to the former Jewish district of Josefa were there are some nice bars to chill out. Its also the place were the made some of the famous scenes from Shindlers List. And finally, as some have said you should really make the effort and go to Auschwitz. Other sites include; The Salt Mines, Wawel Castle & the former Jewish Ghetto at Podgorze. Lots to see, but not really when on a stag doo:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The depth and size of the salt mine is staggering in Velicka (ok it's spelt some other way, but it's pronounced the same). Seems like you're walking down stairs for an eternity, the lifts on the way back up are just scary though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Auschwitz the next day, the jokes dried up funnilly enough. I would agree the saltmines are pretty impressive, although quite expensive to get into. The town they are in is really nice though, and one of the newsagents sells irn-bru. Krakow itself is a beautiful city, I will definitely return at some point.

Gimme an H... Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Cheers guys, all really positive it sounds like. Cant wait!! Auschwitz has been mentioned, not sure if im looking forward to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Krakow is a fantastic city, can only go along with what others have said re. places worth visiting. Auschwitz is about an hour and a half away by train, you might be better getting a bus if you're going. Try and go to a game Cracovia and Wisla both play in the top league, mental stuff.

Gambo Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Krakow is a brilliant place to spend a few days, never made it to Auschwitz(pelted it doon the day we were going to visit), but did get to the Salt Mines, well worth a visit if you have a spare half day.

conn artist Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Go all the way to Poland and sit in an Irish themed bar?

Each to their own i suppose dont see the problem with going to an irish bar myself, you honestly saying you have never been to an irish bar before? the couple of the lads who run it are bang on and the 4 or 5 cracking looking barmaids they employ are more than easy on the eye. the banter with other punters was also a laugh. actually met another jambo and a lad from dunfermline in their.

ecjambo Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I was there for a few days during our tour of europe last summer. Great place, nice people, great beer and food, and good for a night out or two. Tyskie and Lech are great out the tap. Served in most restaurants and pubs/clubs. One restaurant to try is called Sioux, I think thats the spelling, its pronounced just like the name Sue. Went to a club called Frantic which was great got steaming and were plenty of good birds there. Try a club called Prozac aswell, meant to be great never went myself. Went to Auschwitz aswell. Just something you might want to experience, hard to explain really. Get one of the bus tours to it from one of the tourist places. Fairly cheap and you get a guide to take you round and explain all the parts to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpe Diem II on a Monday was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interista Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Went there in 1996. Saw a pitched battle between Wisla Krakow and Legia Warsaw fans. Apparently, Lviv in the Ukraine is the new Krakow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig_ Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Got me interested in this city now , who,s airline folks been using, Globespan? Think EasyJet are the only ones who go there. Not quite as cheap as it used to be (cheers Gordon Brown), but still pretty reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not digging here, all i'm trying to say is if your cultural you wouldn't want to sit in an Irish themed bar in Krakow, explore and sample the Polish bars no?
