Wintertime in Krakow

by budapest8 - last update: Apr 19, 2007

Krakow in wintertime

Snowy Febuary in Krakow
..I'm going to have to sit down one day and write about my week here...
I spent a wonderful week here in the cold snowy weather
but the warmth and hospitality of the Kracovians will warm
the cockels of your heart.
Old Market Square_The Cloth Hall

Valentines Day in a snowy city.


One night around the 15th of Febuary 2005 a cold and stormy night with snow everywhere. So cold yet still so many people, mostly young Polish students out and about. There are a couple of 24 delicatess shops where you can buy fresh Polish produce, more pricey than the normal shops, but heck Poland has to be one of the cheapest countries in Europe. The loal Cracovians will warm the cockels of your heart, even in -10 cold and a snow storm pouring heaps of white powder onto this city of kings.

Pros:"A city of Kings...and you really feel genuine friendlyness in a city of nearly 800,000"
Cons:"Everything will become too Western European soon so hurry before they build too many MacD's"
In A Nutshell:"If it'good enough for the pope, then it's good enough for me!!"

 Interesting page with some valuable reflections. Not everybody realises we have had freedom only for the past 15 or so years. Must definitely visit Kazimierz. May use your accommodation to do that.
