20 Things to do in Kraków, Poland Travel Guide video transcript:
We kicked off this trip to Poland with a visit to Krakow, a city people have been telling us to visit for years and now we know why. Krakow in the summertime was wonderful! We spent our time enjoying castle views from the river side, exploring neighbourhoods covered in street art, eating some of the best pierogie of our lives, and also discovering what we think may be the best ice cream. The following is our travel guide to some of the best things to do in Krakow!
Wawel Castle is Krakow's crowning jewel, and for centuries it was the residence of the kings of Poland. You can see a mix of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque architecture all in one place.
While in the city, we also had to walk the Royal Route, which was once the historic coronation path of Polish kings.
After visiting the basilica, we spent a bit of time walking the Main Square, which just so happens to be Europe's largest medieval town square.
And that’s it for our visit to Krakow! We hope this video gave you a few ideas of things to do around the city. If you have any other places to add to this list or any tips for fellow travellers visiting Krakow feel free to share those.
This is part of our Travel in Poland video series showcasing Polish food, Polish culture, Polish cuisine while visiting Kraków Polska.

I can't wait to visit Krakow. Your video comes at the perfect moment!
Thank you! That is awesome to hear. Glad we got it out in time and hope you have a great visit :)
Are you guys traveling to Wroclaw? It's a very charming city in Poland. I just loved all the different cool dwarfs to discover all around the city. Can't wait to see what comes next. Just love the channel! ❤️👍🏽 Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you very much! Actually that is our next city and next video :)
I visited Kraków 3 years ago. One day took the double decker bus to see the city . So worthwhile! At some point I notice a line of people that was stretching for more than 2 city blocks ! Wondered what people lined up for? What was so worth waiting for ? It was about 4 pm on a Sunday. People lined up to get ice cream 🍨!
YUMMM ❤️🇵🇱😘🍓🥥
You two are literally my favorite, thanks for making all of these great videos for us! You're really helping me to plan my next Euro trip. THANK YOU
Thank you very much Julia! Have a great trip.
Beautiful city. Great people.
City of the best Pope in History.
Pozdrav iz Hrvatske.
We loved Krakow!
Krakow is great and so is the salt mines 😍
kocham Kraków .Jest to moje rodzinne miasto,
Went there 2 weeks ago,many many great people but quite s few rogues as well.Beautifull city very reasonably priced.Paid respects at austwich and birkenhau.
A fascinating city by the looks of it.
I just booked a solo bus ticket and accommodation yesterday (with no prior planning) to go to Krakow in February and then just typed "Krakow RUclips" and your video came up.. Wow! I know it probably won't be this cool due to winter but I am sure I will enjoy my 2 day stay there. I am studying in Czech Republic and I promised myself to see as many places as I can while in Europe. Thank you for sharing your Krakow experience :) :)
Thanks Fedrika! That is so exciting to hear. Maybe it will have a great winter atmosphere with a nice dusting of snow.
I'm so happy you enjoy Poland so much! Greetings from Warsaw
Would be really nice to speak more with you Julia.
Here is my email
jaybnjamin@gmail.com.
Would love to visit Poland soon
Going to go there in a few months and I am already excited bc this is my first time being outside of my home country. Definetly trying some of the things you metioned out :D
Thank you! Hope you have a fantastic trip :)
Super w dawnej Stolicy Polski Krakowie ...
I've been in Poland for the last mounth, its my first time in here, I'm living in Katowice. I want to travel to Krakow and see these places :) thanks for your being a guide for us :)
Thank you! Highly recommend visiting.
Hey guys! It's been awhile since I've watched your videos but I was looking at this one, and I must say how much I appreciate your descriptions! Something every experienced viewer will appreciate :-)
Thank you Michael! Ah, we miss traveling in Poland.
Thank you for your very good videos. I always appreciate them.
We recently visited. What nice place. Lovelly people.
Great to hear that!
Loved your video guys!! I am from Poland and taking my Irish friends to Cracow this year and I will use your video for reference!!! Good job!! :-) I enjoyed it
Thank you very much Tony!
You guys have a great balance between providing great info while also not taking yourselves too seriously, your videos are always very informative but light-hearted and funny and very enjoyable to watch. I hope samuel is growing his beard back in lockdown! ;)
Thank you very much! We so appreciate hearing that. Beard is currently in growth stage...haha
Wonderful video! It is a city I always I wanted to visit! You both are the best! Thanks!
Thank you! Highly recommend visiting.
This was lovely to see! You guys really do Krakow justice in how you display it - thank you! Where are you guys off to next? Hopefully you will consider checking out Zakopane up in the mountains!
Great video. Too many videos present just the old market square and Wawel Castle. You really explored the city and showed a variety of its interesting features.
Thank you! I wish we had even more time to explore :)
Thanks for listing everything you mentioned - makes a huge difference!
Thank you! We'll try our best to keep doing that for our guides :)
Beautiful architecture and a lot of history.
Thank you very much Otavio!
Another great city guide. We just returned from Kraków and visited most of the places you suggested. Amazing....Every time we travel the first thing we now do is check out your city guide !!
Thank you very much! That is wonderful to hear and we really appreciate that.
Great video, nice editing also. Last time I was in Krakow I really enjoyed visiting the Wieliczka salt mine. If you haven't been there yet I would highly recommend it. Thanks for the upload!
You guys are so cute :) Love watching your videos. Feels like just hanging out and learning about cool places to go.
Thank you very much! We really appreciate hearing that :)
Thank you for these wonderful memories of Kraków.
Then you must have a horrible life.
I'm glad you've enjoyed staying in our city :) Although you made me realize that I've never been on Kopiec Kraka (Krakus Mount), and I live here my whole life :)
Thank you! Ah, you'll have to check it out sometime :)
I don't know if you can email me back. I got salient information no need from you about this destination

Please
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing
We are visiting Krakow in June. Can't wait for our trip. Thanks for all helpful informations😊
Thank you!
Two minutes and i had aboot enough of these two !!
Thanks for the 2 minute view!
Thanks for that. Very useful info.
keep up the 20 things videos, my fav format!
Thank you very much! Really glad to hear that. To be honest these guides take the most amount of time for us to film and edit so it means a lot to us that you enjoy the format.
Very good review! Thank you for showcasing Krakow :)
Thank you very much Agynes! We loved Krakow.
I just got back - LOVED IT! 30 Million tourists per year visit Krakow. The Square (biggest in Europe) is rimmed with bars/restaurants and horse drawn carriages - beautiful!
English is taught in Poland from Primary school - so language is NOT a problem! Also, the prices are real cheap (if you have a look around). Food-excellent, friendliness- excellent... Im definitely going back !
Thanks! That is great to hear. We'd love to go back as well.
Great experiences from this amazing historical city Krakow. Thanks for sharing. 😍📷📸
Thank you Maryam!

In description you wrote the wrong name „Kopiec Kościuszki” in case of „Kopiec Krakusa” this are 2 different places.
Greetings from Krakow :)

You must go to Wieliczka and Oswiecim. You might have to schedule the visit which you can do it online.
Great video! I love the quality and your way of presenting places!
Thank you very much! Really appreciate the suggestions as well :)
I agreee... the salt mines of Wieliczka and Oswiecim (Auschwtiz) are a must, although the latter is not a pleasant or joyful tour.
wow, its really beautiful city, i have been to Krakow for 1 year
Thanks! Totally agree with you. That is cool to hear.
Great video guys - one of the great cities of Europe really.
Great vid guys!

Oh, that is really exciting to hear! Hope you have a great trip.

Hey guys! Awesome thats you guys are in Poland :) I've been following you guys for sometime now and your Budapest videos were very useful to us! Would love to see you guys spend a day or in Poznan. I'll be happy to show you around :) cheers!
Great Video - In Krakow you need at least 5 days to experience or least find everything that it has all to offer
Thanks! Totally agree. We just loved our time there.

Thanks! Glad to hear you had a great time.
Beautiful city
Have been there last year.. Krakow is so lovely and lively. Thankyou guysfor uploading this
Thank you very much! It sure is and that is great you go to visit last year. Any plans to revisit again in the future?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos not in near future, but definitely some day. U guys are a lovely couple😊
It's not Krakus's mountain and it's not a legend. This is true and
this is the tomb\ tumulus\kurhan of King Krakus. Poles are Aryans Sarmatians and Scythians. See R1a haplogrupe.
Great video guys! I've been to Krakow twice and you pretty much covered all the the turistic things to do, however you missed one! When in Krakow or Poland for that matter you MUST visit a "milk bar" its a cafeteria type restaurant that serves what's only on their board just how the used to back in communist Poland. It is also known because the ladies serving the food usually actually often don't smile since they have absolutely no time to waste so you must know what you want if not they'll serve the next person in line. The food is delicious and super cheap!! Its an experience on its own. Lots of love from Allentown PA!
Oh, great tip! The milk bars are fantastic. Great food and inexpensive.
Do you know the location of the milk bar please?
I have been in Krakow and it’s the best place ever
日本語字幕わかりやすかったです。ありがとうございます！
Oh my gosh ... I want cry . I'm from Ukraine , but Krakow is my love .
Hope you can visit soon!

Awesome! Have a great time in Krakow.
Very Beautiful
In 6:38 there was hair on the ice cream 😂✌🏼 they got nice ice cream tho ngl 😗✌🏼
Ah, good eye!
@@samuelandaudrey haha lol
You guys should visit the alpine town of Zakopane some day if you happen to find yourself in the area again, which is about a 2 hours drive from Kraków, on the border with Slovakia and in the Tatra Mountains, hands down my favourite place in Poland especially in the winter with all the Polish highland / Goral wooden architecture. You can book tickets from PolskiBus for as low as 1 zloty (that's about 20 US cents!!) to get from the bus station right below Galeria Krakowska direct to the town of Zakopane. I stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights.
I visited Poland twice in the past two years, once in November 2015 and again in November 2016, definitely one of my favourite countries in Europe.
Also visit the capital Warsaw if you have the chance. Many people actually give Warsaw a miss but in my opinion Warsaw is larger, more cosmopolitan compared to Krakow and the old town that was rebuilt some 50+ years ago is also quite beautiful. Zlote Tarasy also has better shopping than the shopping centres in Krakow.
Oh, thanks! Awesome recommendation. Would love to spend more time in nature.
Yeah, Warsaw is really cool. Warsaw was the first place we visited in Poland back in 2015.
this is amazing information thank you so much!!!!!
Greetings from Kraków
Thank you! We miss Kraków.
U guys shoul really stop in zakopane poland 👌u will fall in love
Exelent
Thanks
Kraków to moje ukochane miasto, które odwiedzam jak tylko mam okazję! Pyszne jedzenie, klimatyczne miejsca i sympatyczni ludzie - cały Kraków! Przeważnie jak go odwiedzam zatrzymuje się w Hotelu Nowa Panorama, który znam od lat - jest tani ale zadbany i bardzo przytulny.
Guys, I so love your videos! I keep coming back to your channel almost every say! :) I noticed the image quality has improved so much since you got the new camera. I'm curious, what's your editing process for the videos? Do you have a typical workflow and what's the easiest way to get the cool edits that you have? Thank you!!
W Krakowie, na Wawelu spod Kaplicy Srebrnych Dzwonów bije Czakra całej ziemi. Takich czakr na całej kuli ziemskiej jest tylko7, I jedna z nich bije na Wawelu! Dlatego to miejsce tak przyciąga, jak magia... ludzie to czują, choć nie wiedzą dlaczego)) to instynkt... Dlatego tam powstało wielkie europejskie miasto i dlatego wszyscy to miasto kochają, nawet wrogowie...
I love Poland 🇵🇱
Great to hear!
Kisses from Poland :)
Thank yoU!
wow beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Welcome to Poland! ,))))
Thank you!
Salt Mines! Just outside the city. Must see!
Thank you for the suggestion!
Krakow is one of my favourite cities in Europe! I enjoyed it so much more than Prague, which felt was so overrun with tourists and IMO quite overrated. Did you get a chance to visit Auschwitz?
That is cool to hear! Yeah, I feel even though Krakow is more underrated than Prague. We had planned to do a day-trip there but my camera broke and it screwed things up :(
according to the survivors they are not stories! There is always an asshole everywhere though trying to dissproof reality! GET A LIFE
Sam Bissett, I am going to Krakow next week, I can not wait. The city is magical.
I have lived in Krakow for 3 years... "overrun with tourists" would properly describe the Rynek and main area (although the city is still nice!) :)
Marcin Borkowski to jak juz bedziesz pisal nju jork to daj znać
Oh! I live in Cracow☺️
So cool to hear!
Wow good job
Thank you very much!
I like Poland..
Cool to hear!
If you ever wanted to visit a salt mine, go to Wieliczka or Bochnia, it's amazing.
Thanks for the suggestions! :)
We were in Krawkow for 5 nights a while ago and made three day trips one to the salt mines which were amazing, one to auschwitz, and one to the Tatra mountains at Zakopane would really recommend these three cultural and historical sites. Interested to see where you go next ( also I would recommend Lithuania if you like dumplings though possible not as good as the pierogi you had in Poland)
in concern of Lithuania, you probably mean "cepelinai", am I right? :D those are dumplings made of potatoes
Zakopane is a must... the center of alpine sports is a total delight regardless of the season... and if you have the time, so is Zalipie, a tiny village of houses hand painted with flower motifs about one hour from Krakow.
Good quality of Video
Thank you very much!
Ok, I am back. I would also add that Kraków has one of few Leonardo da Vinci's paintings - Lady with Ferret.
Lady with ermine
Great content as always. Heading to Krakow soon. Thanks for the preview :) Any day trips you'd recommend? Maybe a smaller city not far away worth visiting? I don't think I'll have time to go all the way to Warsaw.
Look up the Wieliczka Salt Mine and see if that's something of interest - it's a popular day trip from Krakow. We were planning to go but ran out of time! Wishing you a great time in Poland. :)
@@samuelandaudrey thanks.
I love this city, I was there in Winter, it was damn cold but still a unique atmosphere!
That is cool to hear! It must have an entirely different vibe in the winter. Would love to visit then as well.
