A day in Krakow.

We spent 2 days in Krakow and I was totally overwhelmed by the all the sights this city had offered. Firstly, the Auschwitz Concentration camp, then the Wieliczka salt mine, beautiful town with the ancient buildings and not to forget the polish food! POLISH FOOD IS AMAZING! 

Language:Polish
Currency: Polish Zloty
Accommodation: Iblis budget hotel

We had a free morning to explore the city on our own which it is just a stone away from our hotel and the weather is good again in Krakow, made the walk more pleasurable. We walked past the shopping mall then underground and entered into the city. 

1. St. Florian's Gate



2. Main Square



3. Cloth Hall


 

4. St. Mary's Basilica







5. Wawel Castle

Lunch was the recommended Mama bagel! fresh and the softest bagel on earth.

Went to Wieliczka salt mine in the afternoon, it is listed on the UNESCO world heritage as one of the world's oldest salt mine which still working today. This place is really worth all your penny paid and time.  There are statues and chapels in the salt mine, they are all craved by the salt miner. I am so amazed by their work, they are definitely beyond professional level. How good if I can held a wedding ceremony there. HAHAHA! This salt mine tour is open for visiting and also for health restore. It is amazing to see how well everything is preserved and the explanation given is amusing and interesting. Make sure you google to see the interior of the salt mine, it is mind blowing, I promise. ;D


You can touch and taste the salt as you like, 


Dinner was amazing!!! We walked into a restaurant at old town because most of the shops seem to be closed at that time and we couldn't find the restaurant on our list but it turns out to be so wonderful, good food and great service indeed.



we had traditional polish food, dumplings as main.


dumplings with deer meat and dumplings with prawn.


Vegetarian dumplings


mushroom soup was alright.


This traditional polish soup is so GOOD.





and the server came back with this hat and put it on Jason. 
We were so entertained that night. 
Food, talk and hat. 
A night to remember.
