Krakow In Your Pocket
A city forged in battle, war, conquest and fate, Kraków is in many respects the most Polish of all this great nation’s cities. The ancient seat of kings and intelligentsia comes steeped in legend and myth, and evokes the most fanciful of images, from dragons occupying the catacombs of Wawel, to Tartar hordes repelled at the gates, to an earnest Vladimir Lenin plotting revolution while sitting in the city’s
cafes. Kraków’s history is the stuff of fantasy.

What a surprise! We walked in not knowing what to expect and were greeted by friendly staff, charming decor/ambience, and delicious food. In addition, the bathrooms in the basement were free and reminiscent of a cavernous wine cellar. Free is har[...]
