5 Day, 4 Night Photography focused trip with my Father. Krakow is officially now my favourite European City!

Trip kicked off from Liverpool Airport a 3 hour flight with easyjet over to Polska.

Once landed we jumped on the shuttle bus for about 10 minutes to a local train station and caught the train into the centre of Krakow. Upon arrival we had a quick walk through the main Market Square on the way to our Hotel scoping out some of the local bars , and restaurants for the night ahead. After we dropped off our bags we made out way to a little local restaurant, the menu was in Polish there were 3/4 tables only 1 person in there and it just felt brilliant, tiny little independent place just off the back roads. Following tips from a nice bloke we met on the plane we went for soup starters (man was his tip dead on the nail if you ever go to Poland try as many different soups as you can!) and I had stewed beef for main. Food was served within a few minutes, both the starter and main at the same time which was a little unusual, but it was beautiful! After trying the local cuisine we headed for a few drinks at a couple of bars including a stop at the Tower, what can I say about this place… walked down about 3 flights of stairs into an underground shelter like pub full of little rooms and banging disturbed over the PA system! settled in for a couple here and the jukebox kept throwing out all sorts for SOAD, NIN, Killswitch just to name a few. We went back a few night during our stay I must say saturday night was the busiest but I’d make it a definite stop on your list if you go! (continue reading…)
