A SHOCKINGLY beautiful town!!! (Krakow top 10, vlog)

10 reasons to visit Krakow (top 10 vlog krakow)
Krakow, Poland - one of the most beautiful places in Europe.
We have made a „top 10" with things we think would be nice to see/do in or NEAR Krakow (Wieliczka salt mine and Auschwitz former nazi conecentration camp included)

Krakow is with his 1,4 milion inhabitants, the second largest city in Poland.
Legend has it that it was built on the cave of a dragon whom the mythical King Krak had slain. The dragon's cave is right beneath the Wawel castle and can even be visited today.

1) FLORIAN'S GATE
.The gate, built in 1307 is one of the few surviving parts of the ancient city wall. The gate is 35 metres high and was the city's main entrance in medieval times. Today it's the best place to begin your walk in the old town.

2 RYNEK (main market square)
Kraków's main market square designed in 1257. With its 200 square metres the Rynek is one of the largest medieval squares in Europe.Through the ages here was the place where kings were sworn and public executions held. The Rynek has always been the natural stage for public celebrations, including the famous one back in the 17th century when King Jan Sobieski III organised a great firework which ended badly when some explosives were accidentally fired into the crowd.

3) SUKIENNICE (Cloth Hall)
In the centre of the old towns square grows unexpectedly the Sukiennice, or Cloth Hall . It was built in the 14th century. Even today you can buy here a great variety of stuff as in a turkish Bazar. In the underground, in 2010, there was opened a hi-tech history museum of the city and a 19th Century Polish Art Gallery.

4) ST. MARY'S BASILICA
The original church was destroyed during the Tartar raids in the 13th century. St. Mary's was rebuilt in Gothic style and finished in 1320. From the northern tower the hejna? mariacki - the city's famous bugle call - is played every hour on the hour. Surprisingly, The song breaks off in the middle of it in honour of the legendaty trumpeter who was shot in the neck while warning the city of Mongol invaders (NOT turks, as I said in the video :) )

5) STARE MIASTO (Walk around the old town)
Even without a human or virtual guide, walking aimlessly around the old town is a unique experience. Inventing your own trip back in medieval time, searching for a traditional chocolate factory or just hunting souvenirs, in Krakow is the place where you can do all of that. And if you are tired of history and clichees, there are places where you can be as modern as you desire.

6) FOOD!
Definetly a reason to visit Poland, food is ab-so-lu-te-ly gorgeous. And much pricyer than in other European countries. We strongly reccomend you to choose a restaurant with polish dishes.

7) WAWEL CASTLE
You can easily spend a whole day in the castle, visiting the must-see cathedral, the crown treasury and walking around the courtyard and gardens.

8) NIGHT LIFE
Like the Czech republic and Slovakia, Poland is also well known for its euphoric night life. In Krakow nights are days and long story short- you name it, yo can do it!

9) WIELICZKA (Salt mine)
is a town known for its ancient salt mines, less than 20km from Kraków. The salt mine here is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and for sure a must-see. The Entrance ticket is not cheap- around 20 Euros per person but it includes a live guide, in different languages. Wieliczka is really a hidden gem, which we will explore in a different vlog.

10) AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU (Former Nazi Concentration Camp)
A very dark page of mankind history can be experienced 2km outside city of O?wi?cim, 65km from Krakow. Even if it is a spot where milions of tourists come every year, don't think it is easy to visit the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau. The spirits of the dozen of innocents murdered there seem to tear you apart during your walks on the alleys and it feels like every brick of the blocks is crying. Pain, death and humiliation, learning about all those atrocities you will overwhelm you. But it is a lesson we must learn.
Being only 90minutes away from Krakow, Auschwitz can be done during a day trip from Krakow.
We will dedicate a separate vlog to this unusually cruel and sad place.
