Krakow - Poland

Hi all, am thinking of heading to Krakow for the Xmas markets at the end of Nov. Can anyone recommend a good hotel and also what I can do with my time there. Cheers all.

Can't recommend a Hotel, but go see the Palace, go to the main square with the cloth hall, and get your ass down south to Zakopane. It's incredible, especially if you can find some time to get up the mountains there - below are links to my trips :

Great pics PaintDoctor!

Honestly in Krakow I'd just recommend being wonderfully lazy - get yourselves to the Main Square and just walk around these cobbled streets, pop into little shops, sit down for a meal or treat when you feel like it, there are so many lovely little things to do that it always worked best for me to do it this way instead of having any special plans. There'll be even more to do with the Xmas market in place!

If you see a church in the street always check it out, some of them have those breathtaking stained glass panels.

Orbis Hotel Francuski is a nice one, sort of old Krakow style.

Not a hotel, but I can't recommend these apartments highly enough - have used them on a couple's break and a stag weekend.

Hey Don,

we stayed in the Andels hotel and found it brilliant..it's fairly new and only 10 minute stroll from the main square.
