Quite a lot packed into your short time in Krakow. Wonderful city and very nice presentation. Your pics look as professional as post cards! You found a few spots I missed. Thanks for the tips.

Sounds a great place for a weekend break. Excellent tips too - and if you enjoy Zywiec have you tried the great Polish bar in Holborn?

I enjoy the occasional Zywiec, but I don't know how to pronounce it properly either!

I discovered Zwyiec this summer also but when I was in Krakow they were skateboarding and playing basketball on the square. Nice page, I can tell how much you enjoyed Poland. Katherine :)
