Me and my partner we decided to visit a small part of Poland for the accuracy and the city of Krakow, with a bid-flight taken at the end of July and so armed with as much enthusiasm as often happens when we throw down the first route, we begin to study guides and forums.
We know that is the city where John Paul II has become Cardinal, the Czartoryski Museum is the famous painting by Leonardo Da Vinci Lady with an Ermine and unfortunately the death camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
arrive in the evening after a flight easy jet-quiet, unfortunately even though we are in early September is a perturbation about a week pounding the center of Europe, and so just put your nose out of the airport, but not before it had changed some € in zlotys, the reset of rain incessantly.
We know a fateful bus which should lead to the center but as the 21 steps and a time for wolves we just have to rely on a taxi.
The taxi driver greets us and takes us by putting the suitcase in the large trunk of a mercedes bright brown color, an antique smarmittato with a little black leather seats, which makes everything a little way east of the east. After saying in English address mumbles something and I realize that maybe you should show him the address written on the receipt of booking hotel ...... and so we start running at breakneck speed on poorly lit streets in the rain swing, and after about half an hour, we enter into Krakow.
The city is deserted, lights in the rain makes it even more sad .... but we do not lose heart and arrived at our hotel we pay the taxi, I think the right and enter the hotel's nearly 22, a surprise the room is a quadruple, we have the time to make two comments already in this first approach we sink into sleep.
1days: After a hearty breakfast with great happiness that we see the rain has given way to a pale sun, and we have the office for the first day of visite.Situata on the banks of the Vistula River at the foot of the hill of Wawel, the first day of sightseeing dedicate it to the Czartoryski Museum where the highlight is the painting Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo Da Vinci and I must say the truth does something small but still see little color makes a huge impact realize that we are the only visitors inside the small room and just stay for more than twenty minutes when we decide to andare.Il museum itself is not great but there are many paintings important and very beautiful.
The Jagiellonian University is the oldest Polish university founded in 1364 by King Casimir the Great. Today
Krakow is a very popular student city where they study about 120 000 students. Market place is huge and its sides measuring 200 feet long, the surface is 40 000 m2 or 4 acres. And 'one of the most' great squares of Europe from the Middle Ages. E'circondata and cafes with outdoor living by mimi improvised but very good looking to earn some form zotl.La Sunday flower market a show of colors and compositions in the middle of the square there is a long-Renaissance building - Cloth Hall where within stalls selling souvenirs of carved wood, amber objects, clay and clothing. In the north of the square is the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, after the monument piu'importante Krakow Wawel Castle.
E'ora after lunch and snack with bread with sesame seeds sold in every street corner where we sit in a room full of academics. Photos to choose from a menu a dish full of meat stewed and mashed potatoes with garlic sauce, bring us a (terrible) and local beer very good time to rest and go back into the marketplace to discover the streets and sights Old Town, we visit the church of Santa Maria and the port of St. Florian with his Barbican. For today we will stop dinner in the usual local Poles, really good people and so to bed not before checking the level of the Vistula River swollen by rain the previous days.
2days today would expect a complete visit to Wawel Castle. Then to the amazement of wonder conductress two full tickets that includes the Royal Palace, the Basilica Cathedral of St Wenceslas and Stanislas where John Paul II was bishop of the dragon and the cave it quickly because we expect the bus to the salt mines with various sculptures, honestly recommended to all those who suffer from claustrophobia and who was not as it is an endless queue to go back to back and it was stowed in a freight elevator very reassuring ...
