Al2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Krakow is a great city, far nicer than Warsaw in my opinion The people are nicer too, lot of rude people in warsaw, for the amount of low wages etc there is a definatly a band of people of think they are upper class to the normal folk, just cause they have a decent office job they think there are something better, never seen that once in Krakow, I love going there and id be happy if our office in warsaw closed and they moved us there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigtownshire-Matt Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Been in both Warsaw and Krakow this year. Krakow wins hands down. Trip to Auschwitz is a must. Very hard ton describe the experience. Not something I've ever been through before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Hibs Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The bar which I forgot to add in was the irishmbassy http://www.irishmbassy.com/ Cheers for this. Taking into consideration that the Irish are playing at the same time as us on Saturday, and this is an 'Irish' bar, then what would the chances be that the Scotland game will actually be shown?

ST#7 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Krakow is a great place wish the game was being played there. Oscar Schindlers factory has been converted into an museum space, costs to get in but not too pricy. Charts the lead up to the start of WW2 right through to the end and the onset of the communist regime so it not just about the factory or the Jewish workers. Loads in it and could take 2 / 3 hours to go around. 20 minutes walk from the main square over the river. There's also the last remaining part of the Jewish ghetto wall close by. It's the office block of the factory that was converted, the space to the rear is now part of the gallery of modern art - each to their own and all that but I found the gallery to be a waste of time and money. Someone above mentioned the Salt mines - we did this as a day trip with Auschwitz in the morning then onto the mines, would have been better in my opinion doing these on different days but time didn't permit. Auschwitz 1+2 - guess everyone should go at some point if they can. Camp 1 has more in it to see in terms of exhibits, some folk in the group we went with didn't visit the second camp not sure why. Only disappointing aspect of Krakow was not getting to see Cracovia - their game was getting played behind closed doors when I was there.
