Ben, I don't often leave RUclips comments but this video was stunning in its production values and content. You can really sense the effort that's gone into producing something this good. Really interesting information, beautifully shot and great music. I hope RUclips starts to suggest your videos to more people because they blow a lot of other content on here out of the water. I look forward to the next video!
Thank you so much. That means a lot, truly. So much effort has gone in, and I appreciate that it's valued. Hoping to hear from you soon!
Went 3 times last year. Can’t get bored of it. Love it. So much to do and see. Just been to Gdansk. Warsaw and Wrocław in one trip too. Also loved them
I forgot how beautiful it is! Did you enjoy Gdansk, Warsaw and Wroclaw?
I may have Warsaw on the list next!
@@BenRobson123 oh yes. Gdansk was amazing. Exceeded my expectations. Took trip to sopot and Westerplatte. Loved it. Wrocław was nice but not as good as Warsaw krakow and Gdansk in my opinion. Warsaw old town is very nice. Lots to do there. Would highly recommend
@@callumkent7155 Warsaw is on the list actually..! Perhaps sometime too along with Vilnius perhaps :) Glad you enjoyed Gdansk, beautiful city
We spent a week in Krakow in March. We visited Auschwitz, old town, bunny cafe, shooting range, museums and waxworks (etc) . We did so much while we were there and loved it. I'd love to go back to another part of Poland but not sure if anywhere could top Krakow ?
I am from 🇭🇷 (from the area where many Polish go to vacation), and I love Krakow.
❤Thank you for promoting my country in such a beautiful way!❤
You're very welcome, I love Poland!
Your videos are great! I always share them with my friends who plan to visit Poland. It is nice that you pay attention to architecture which is beautiful in many Polish cities. Greetings from Gdynia!
That's really sweet, glad you share with your friends! Means a lot 😇 👋🇵🇱
I just got back from Krakow. Really beautiful city. And this time of year - the city park smelled like a perfume as all the trees were blossoming. I could not get enough of that beautiful smell.
Sounds beautiful!
Another excellent video, you should work for the tourist board as you promote beautiful Poland with lots of useful tips for visitors. I have visited Krakow three times, your video brought back lots of great memories. Thanks for sharing and keep up the fantastic work.
Obiously you are a master of using lots of words without saying anything, chapeau.
"Lots of useful tips ..." as if not anybody with an intelligence level higher than an orang utan would not find all these places by himself.
Wtf is wrong with you? Take your sourness and go decay elsewhere. 🐀
@@BenRobson123 "Wtf" tells us a lot about your nasty caracter.
@@BenRobson123 Ignore the previous comment. Another fantastic video, well done, keep up the good work.
🎉🎉🎉 Yay! 😊 Thank you Ben for your hard work showing us these beautiful places
Thanks as always Liza!!😁😇
10:26 Whenever I look at Wawel Cathedral I think of a fact that very few know about today. Johann Sebastian Bach was the court composer to King Augustus III Sas of Poland. The first two movements of Bach's Mass in B minor were performed in this cathedral on January 17, 1734 during Augustus' coronation.
PS Some claim it was a different Bach piece. Personally, I think this is impossible, since the Mass in B minor is Bach's only Catholic work. I can't imagine that a Lutheran work could be performed at Wawel at that time.
Very interesting - thank you for leaving your comment :)
Great video mate, keep up the good work!
Thank you mate!
Your videos are stunning. The cinematography is breathtaking😍
Thank you!! I’m glad you think so. I do try 😁
Tremendous video Ben, I went just over a year ago and did exactly what you did and it brings back lots of memories. It truly is a beautiful place to go and a must visit!
I'm glad it Brough back some nice memories for you David. Thanks for the comment :)
I am going in October and this is so informative. Thank you!
Glad it's been of help! :)
Excellent video!
Thank you!
Another awesome video, Ben. Well done! Kraków is high on my list of favourite places in Europe. Great to see it again, through your eyes.
Thanks Ian! Certainly a beautiful city. Hope you're keeping well!
As always, I totally enjoy your videos. I am planning a trip to Europe next year and have added Poland to my itinerary. Some countries I have visited and now a new country to add to the list!
Fantastic, I would 100% recommend Poland. Beautiful place. Glad you enjoyed!
Lovely video ❤
Thanks Scott. Nice to hear from you mate, hope you're well!
Hey, we just booked a trip and then started look at what to do when we stumbled on your videos - these have been fantastic, thanks for sharing and great job at being informative

Without a doubt, Gdansk. This is the first of your videos we saw. And, of course Krakow, Warsaw, Zakopane, and Wroclaw. Thank you for asking! Cheers!@@BenRobson123
Nice video Ben!
Thank you Rob!
nice video
Thanks for sharing your video.
You’re very welcome!
Ben, you have a real skill with your video making; much better than some others who post on social media. I hope you dont stop making and maybe consider using your skills outside RUclips . Drink offer still on if you are in toon sometime.
Thank you mate. That means a lot, hope you’re well 😇
Jewish quarter is an area I can't recommend enough in Krakow. Bars and atmosphere are brilliant
Didn’t explore that area enough really, did a little my first time in Krakow!
In Kraków, in the Cloth Hall, there is a museum of Polish Art (paintings). Also in Krakow you can see Leonardo da Vinci's painting - Lady with an Ermine
Ahh shame I missed this! Thanks for letting everyone know :)
Your content is amazing and informative. Great camerawork and editing! I have recently started my own RUclips channel and will look to your videos for inspiration to generate the best output. Do you use a drone?
Best regards 😊
Thank you so much. glad you enjoyed. Good luck with your new channel :) And yes I use a drone, but unfortunately the conditions weren't great during my time in Krakow..!
Ben, are you able to do a video on packing tips? I'm intrigued how you just travel with a small backpack!
Hi Neil. I’d be happy to give some tips, although not sure I’d make a video solely on this.
I don’t think I’m quite the expert, but if you had any questions feel free to message me on Instagram @benrobson1999. Or my business email is on my profile :)
@@BenRobson123 will drop you a message. Cheers
I went to this beautiful place it's breathtaking been to Rome and Amsterdam but Krakow is just amazing and unique I love it 🇮🇩👌🏽
Beautiful city!
We did Krakow in 2014, doing everything and visiting a beautiful Thai restaurant that no longer exists. Really fab memories.
Edit loved the salt mines..Did you pay extra for the church?
Fantastic! And you mean St Mary's Basilica in the main square? That is about £2-3 entry/
If you meant the chapel inside the Saltmines, that is just included in the normal tour :)
6:59 - at the moment you are standing next to the Czartoryski Museum (to your right), which houses one of the most beautiful female portraits ever - Leonardo Da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine.
Rembrandt's Landscape with Samaritan is also there.
Thank you for the comment! It's a shame I missed it
Krakow is stunning. Just as beautiful as Prague or Budapest, but not getting nearly the same attention as the other two.
Agreed, such a beautiful city! Definitely already the most popular in Poland for British tourists though..😅
@BenRobson123 don't think the Brits go there for the culture, though 🤔
@@tally1604 perhaps not… hopefully we don’t ruin a lovely city 😇
👍
where did u stay, trasport around town is tram ?
I stayed in Meininger hostel, it was pretty nice! And there are trams yes, though I didn’t get any
Greetings from Dubrovnik. Great video, thank you. Have liked and subscribed. Can I please purchase you a woolly beanie and a thick pair of gloves…I could almost feel how numb your hands were. I know how frustrating it is to be trying to film AND keep warm.
Thank you so much! Ha, it wasn't actually too bad. Just easier to film without gloves on!
@@BenRobson123 yes I forgot to mention that the only way to film is without gloves.
In Poland we say ,,GERMAN occupation". There was not such a country like ,,Naziland".
You also say Soviet occupation or Russian occupation?
@@ugabugabagaga Like I said: IN POLAND we say german occupation. And about ruSSia - when it was soviet union, it wasnt ruSSia. Your question is invalid.
@@oakenarm701 So what was Soviet Union?80% was Russia and Russians were in charge.Your people in Katyn and in many other olaces were slaughtered by Russians.Am i wrong?
I need a dramamine to watch this.
i know this guy.
,
do you 🧐
@@BenRobson123 Krakow is a great guy., very nice guy
ben,have u done vid on historic jewish quarter/kaszmirez>
Unfortunately not mate, didn't really explore that area
Another of 1000 clips showing this same places.
Yeah but mine is better 😁
3:56
See this heavenly altar piece ?
It has been crafted by the german wood - sculptor Veit Stoß en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veit_Stoss
I want to visit this church @4:09 will @BenRobson123 or anyone kindly let me know the name and address of this church please!!
It’s St Mary’s Basilica, it’s right in the main square ‘Rynek Główny’, you can’t miss it 😁
