I was impressed by the numbers of people younger than me who were visiting Auschwitz. My Generation and subsequent generations did not have personal knowledge of the Holocaust nor of the enormous loss and suffring caused. The fact that so many visit to learn of this and feel the pain gives hope...more I was impressed by the numbers of people younger than me who were visiting Auschwitz.

This place is quite simply- Off The Hook!! Such an quality hostel! It was funky, clean and comfortable! Its right slap bang in the center of town, so everything is within little walking distance and just plain easy to get to! The staff are wicked-cool helpful and will do everything to make sure...more This place is quite simply- Off The Hook!! Such an quality hostel! It was funky, clean and comfortable! Its right slap bang in the center of town, so everything is within little walking distance and just plain easy to get to! The staff are wicked-cool helpful and will do everything to make sure your stay is fine and dandy. Not to mention so HOT that you would want to get on one knee and slip a ring on their finger!! Ania is SO beautiful and was really helpful in booking me a tour- thanks! The nightlife is plain crazy - Chris is a champion! This dude will take you to all the wicked bars and clubs around town and make sure you\'ll have the best times out in Krakow! Cheers Chris, i had a fricking awesome time man! i\'ll definately come back! 100% no less.close

I THOUGHT KRAKOW WAS ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE PLACES I\'VE EVER STAYED IN BUT I DO PREFERE SNOW TO SAND AND SEA. IF YOU LIKE THE COLD AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK TRY KRAKOW IN THE WINTER, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU A GREAT TIME.

IF YOU LIKE THE COLD AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK TRY KRAKOW IN THE WINTER, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU A GREAT TIME. AUSCHWICH IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WOULD EVER SAY WAS A GOOD DAY OUT BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE SHOULD SEE AND LEARN ABOUT. THE SALT MINE IS ALSO A GRE3AT DAY OUT, THE CATHEDERAL 100m UNDERGROUD IS TRUELY AWE INSPIRING. BUT DON\'T LET ME TELL YOU, GO AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.close

Good trip, fit a lot of stuff into a few days. Weather really fit the atmosphere of our trip to Auchwitz & Birkenau. Salt Mines were interesting. An eye opening experience and will visit again. May stay further towards the main square although the walk was only about 10mins. Easy to book...more Good trip, fit a lot of stuff into a few days. Weather really fit the atmosphere of our trip to Auchwitz & Birkenau. Salt Mines were interesting. An eye opening experience and will visit again. May stay further towards the main square although the walk was only about 10mins. Easy to book tickets for visits which also included an english guide and transport! Kebabs were nice too!close

Krakow is a cool city to visit. If you like going out partying on the nights then there are plenty of good bars and clubs, and the beer is cheap (as cheap as 80p during the week to £1.30ish on the weekends).

If you like going out partying on the nights then there are plenty of good bars and clubs, and the beer is cheap (as cheap as 80p during the week to £1.30ish on the weekends). Or if you\'re more into culture, history and sightseeing then there are also many things to do and places to see (the Salt Mine, Wawel Castle, Auschwitz-Birkenau). So Krakow is a great city no matter what you\'re interested in. close
