    Great video! I am not Polish but I am very happy to call Krakow home. Two remarks regarding the places you visited: Krakus Mound is lovely but there are actually four mounds in different sides of the city! I find the Piłsudski and Kościuszki Mounds even more impressive. Secondly, bar mleczny are great but the one you went to on Grodzka has become touristy and expensive. Prices at similar bars outside of the old down are 30-50% lower which is amazing considering even the one on Grodzka is not crazy expensive.
    I would additionally recommend Podgórze area for cute architecture, Zakrzówek artificial lake, Stary Kleparz as well as other markets, and perhaps the old building of Jagiellonian University.

Warsaw is also a great place, but it's got totally different, radically modern vibe.

      @@Goorood Oh there is cheap beer in Poland lol. But it's so strong only the biggest alcoholic cheapskates buy it 😂 Prices of alcohol in poland start at around 0,5€ for 0,5l. The og comment was probably about beer in pubs/restaurants/clubs etc. Mind You, there are ways to sneak a whole bottle of vodka into a pub, but people usually don't do that cause not only is it inappropriate, but You can also be asked to leave the place if they find You with alcohol not bought from the bar. That's why most people throw house parties or how Pols call it "domówki". The alcohol in Poland is so cheap (10€ for 1,5l of vodka for example, beer starting at 0,5€, wines start at around 2-3€ for 1l and many many more) that it's cheaper to go do a house party than to go to a bar. Most people don't want to do parties in their homes as we do go a little too hard with drinking usually 😅 So we go to bars and pay atrocious money for small beer ://

    So happy you've been to Poland! I'm from Warsaw and I love watching you guys, been to Prague many times thanks to you, so it's great to see you in Poland and see how you enjoy Kraków and try to pronounce Polish words. :) Kudos also to city of Kraków for this great idea! This is the best marketing I can think of!

    I have lived in Kraków for 9 years. I was glad to see that at the end you made it up to the restaurant above Sukiennice. I love it up there. You get the view of the Market Square, but above the hoards of tourists. It is like a private club up there. Nice to enjoy an Aperol Spritz on a warm day or their delicious hot chocolate on cooler days. My husband and I stayed at the now closed Hotel Forum when we visited Kraków in 1993 on our way to Ukraine.

      The museum above Sukiennice is a beautiful, recently refurbished, Gallery with a superb display of Polish Art. You'll also find an adjoining terrace cafe: highly recommended.

    I absolutely LOVE Krakow, such a great city. Last time I was there, I didn't bother looking for the "non-tourist-ish" places, because it's cheap everywhere, except the old town square. Heck, even my hotel had this absolutely beautiful garden cafe, where I paid LESS than 1 Euro for a beer. That was only 4 years ago.
    My favourite place to visit, is the salt mines. Don't go to Krakow without visiting it, but BUY TICKETS ONLINE first, or it's a gamble if you even can get in. Within the city itself, I loved the castle area, but some of the guided tours (I did them all) were boring as hell.

We loved to eat the donuts, the dragon and the castle was very lovely to see. We visited Hala Forum, the video game museum and Mocak. I can highly recommend everything what you see in this video. The baguettes were AMAZING!!! Krakow is a very beautiful and enjoyable city. Its even more beautiful than Prague. If u consider to visit Poland you really need to go to Krakow! Thank you honest guide for your tips. You made our trip perfect ❤️❤️❤️
    Also I can recommend the cat café at the krakow galerie. Very lovely cats!!!

    I am from Kraków and I've just come back from Prague. Probably I've been there when you were in Krakow ;) And I was using your films, knowledge and actually your guide :)
    I am so glad you liked the overall experience in my birth city. Kudos for finding the Metrum on the top of the Music Academy, an amazing place with food as good as the view :) You probably didn't choose the cheapest or the best money-to-value bar mleczny, but those places probably has the most authentic Polish food there is. In terms of Bar mleczny I strongly advise choosing those in Nowa Huta District. Also apart from bars, Nowa Huta is one of the most amazing places in Krakow. Was build for the workers of huge iron works now it's one of the greenest places to live in Krakow. Also, I am so happy that you have visited Podgórze - the place I grew up in which is getting more attractive for tourists every day now.
    About zapiekanki - I've tested most of them and wrote a text a few years back. Most of the windows are tourist traps selling heated frozen ..., but there are some good windows on Plac Nowy where you can get fresh and delicious zapiekanka, the most famous polish street food :)
    Hope you will come back someday to see even more of Krakow :)

    • @kamilb.3643

      I'm also from Kraków and can back you in terms of Nowa Huta - a rather less known part of the city, a great piece of socialist architecture and more recent part of the history.
      And fully agree about zapiekanki - I stopped buying them at Kazimierz, as they got too much of over-marketing and dropped in quality :(

(I would like to visit Prague some day as well!) Thanks.
