I miss Kraków... What do You miss...?

I miss my mother-in-law's baking.

Hard rock cafe opened on the square next to empik recently:(

I was in St. Petersburg when it was still Leningrad. Better to see it in the Summer time and not in winter. When I was there it was absolutely freezing.

Yea I went in the summer and it was amazing. I only a few years ago bt apparently they have spent millions of pounds doing it up since I was thre last so it really is a sight for sore eyes now!

I miss Mazury :( all the time...

What a great picture and I'm pleased to say I have been there as well!

I miss my Mom, I miss my Dad, I miss my dog and I miss some other special people who were a part of my life and are no more. I miss the interesting regulars off the forum who seem to have disappeared as well.

Maybe a thread on what we don't miss :)

Because I don't miss the rain and cold weather when it is hot :)

I never miss any of it. It is easy to be romantic but lets be honest-dirty run down streets with wooden scaffolding, which has been there for twenty years or more holding these old smelly buildings up. Not a very pleasant place at all. Many two faced people too!

Sounds like many places in the UK !!! Guildford isn't all it's cracked up to be these days LOL. Hahahahaha !!!

What scaffolding?? Were you one of the homeless pissed up farts when you were here?

Where exactly in England are you from....?

Kanonicza St.
the oldest street in Krakow, takes you from the Main Market Square to the Wawel Castle... very nice walk...

I remember when I was last there in in Kraków in 1986 I saw loads of wooden scaffolding holding up buildings and a man who's father lived in Kraków, hence his visits at that time to see him whilst he was still alive told me that this same wooden scaffolding had been there for years. Things change very slowly in Poland. Mind you-I have news-I am visiting Warszawa again after so many years in June. I am really looking forward to vising places I once knew. I am flying British Airways mind you-no old Russian aircraft with LOT for me-I have never forgotten the horors of crashing Russian planes outside Warsaw when I was last in Poland.

There were lots of roads being dug up when i visited Krakow (this March), not too far away from where Polishgirl's lovely photo was taken.


The airport (Terminal 2) is probably the place that has seen most improvement

maybe somebody will find that info useful


actually that website is great for visitors in Krakow... wikitravel.org/en/Krakow

In Poland there has been more change since 1986 than the low density space between your ears could ever comprehend.

Another fantastic picture polishgirltx thanks for posting it. They are great pics, did you take them yourself ?


The Polish Authorities have your picture on file and you have been banned from entering the Country. If you try to enter you will be sent to Prison for 50 years, with absolutely no internet access either. I'll gladly send you the air fare to Warsaw so you can be locked up and they can throw away the key. Oh, hang on a second, you aren't real hehe !!

thanks :) no, i found them online... there will be more if i'll find any good once :)

They remind me of the Polish Quarters in Paris, same sort of architecture if I remember rightly. I'm hoping to go to Krakow in a few months time :)

I'm Lir btw <if you remember my previous nickname <s>

i don't think i visited that part of Paris.... any pictures?


lucky you :) let us know how you liked it and post some pictures.... have fun :)


if you are who i think you are, so i remember ;D

It was a while ago when we visited but I'll try and get some posted. We didn't realise we were there until we walked into a bar to ask for directions and everyone spoke Polish and it was the best time ever we had in Paris.


Yes, I have only been once before so am really looking forward to it and I shall post piccies when we get back. :)

Yep, Lady in red lol.......I visit here sometimes...<g>

great to see you back :)

Thank you polishgirltx.....nice to see some of the old regulars again :)

the same here LIR.

I did not go to Krakow this time, so unfortunately - no chance for a good obwarzanek ;(

The neo-Gothic Collegium Novum building of 1887, 24 Golebia street at the Planty ring of gardens, remains the Jagiellonian University's headquarters.

1986 - Ch Sakes - two decades have passed since then! I hope no one every judges you on how they knew you 22 years past! Someone might say - last time I saw him he was puking and sh -ing in his pants!
