Whats your favourite Polish city and why? [132]
Krakow is a favourite with me-to sit in the rynek drinking a Zywiec on a nice day watching life go by-and the beautiful girls!-is bliss.There is plenty to do there,day or night.However,it suffers from its popularity and in the summer the traffic there-and parking- is hell on earth.Almost as bad as Warsaw.I like to go upriver a few kms and walk along the river banks to the Monastery-much more peaceful-even better with female company.
Zakopane used to be a great place,but is now spoilt by heaving masses of tourists and commercialism.The Tatras are great though and there are still lovely villages if one searches them out.
I think my favourite relatively unspoiled town is Zamosc.It has a beautiful rynek surrounded by rather unique architecture and ofter in summer there are events going on in front of the town hall.Just outside the walled inner town is a nice park with lake which is really nice summer or winter.It even has red squirrels in the trees!
Somebody suggested the south-east of Poland-definitely! Although there are no cities.I suppose Sanok is the largest place but does not have much going for it apart from the open air skansen which is excellent.
