KRAKOW-visit next week

Hi i have been given a free flight to krakow.
was hoping to have get some info.

1 can anyone recommend cheap hotel or guest house near the town centre!

2 what should i make a point of doing- sight seeing etc

3 where should i go for a night out?

4 are there any foods i should defineatley try?

5 one for my brother how much does 50gr of golden virginia tobacco cost?

thanks in advance really looking forward to this never been to poland before!

1. a lot of choose from - i don't think any of them would be booked up at this time of the year.

2. i suggest you to take a visitor's guide and start from that. most attractions are in the market square area unless you want to visit Wieliczka, for example.

3. plenty of pubs, discos, restaurants. again - i would keep close to the center if possible.

4. popular foods like golabki, pierogi, bigos, schabowy ("pork chop"), there are good Polish fish (like "szczupak"). you'll get everything in a good restaurant.

5. this I don't know. Is it some kind of cigarette?

thanks for that can you give me an idea of prices of hotels in the center?

go to the old town there. beautiful. loads of fun.

tobacco...... around 16 zlotys for 50g of virginia i believe.

and the good thing is you can bring a load of the stuff back because it doesn't come under the same customs control as cigs, which you are only allowed 200 at the moment.

enjoy your time, poland is fantastic......... that's from an englishman ;)

Just returned from Cracow two days ago...VERY cold there now...it snowed one night. Check out Music Bar 9 and the Cellar Bar on Ulica Szewska...right off the Rynek. Cellar Bar is quite cheap and are very welcoming to tourists.
