Krakow - City of candles

by KennetRose - last update: May 23, 2003

First impressions

The Wawel castle
Krakow has it's obvious beauties - the Rynek Glowny and the Wawel for starters. But it's a much more subtle city than Prague and you need a good guide to lead you to places and through alleys and doorways you would never think of exploring on your own. It's also a very friendly place - within minutes of arrival (at 6.30am!) at the station I found myself deep in conversation with Krakovians.
Lilac time

Krakow revisited - May 2003

A couple of days in Krakow, especially when you are tired after a long trip across Europe, just isn't enough. So I had to go back - choosing to reurn in May when the lilacs are in blossom and the sun is becoming warm again...

This time I gave myself a whole week to absorb the place and get my bearings. And it still wasn't enough.

I feel I'll be returning again and again to this glorious city

 Interesting page - I certainly wasn't expecting to read about go-karts in Krakow! I love your description of the trumpet and the scent of lilacs, and your reflection picture from the fountain.
