Travel / Regular UK visitor to Krakow - How to meet people and make friends? [56]

Hello to anyone reading this!

I am a young lady who travels to Krakow regularly with work. I work for a tour operator company who do weekend breaks to Krakow.

I have only started doing this job this summer. But I absolutely love spending time in Krakow (I really would live there if I could).

I don't speak any Polish (unfortunately) but I am slowly trying to learn little by little.

But I do find that travelling alone, it's hard to meet people who could show me much more of Krakow and basically meet people that I hang out with in my free time in Krakow.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

Michelle

The ladies in the dining room at Novotel Centrum, in the city, were very helpful to us and our son when we stayed there.

Yes they are lovely.

Our tour groups stay here regularly and they are always frindly and quite chatty.
I should perhaps make more efforts to speak to them really, shouldn't I?

I think it's hard to talk to people and then try and get them to "be your friend" - it reminds me of being at play school... But it does seem like the only way to get out there.

That and him being a jerk.

You're talking to me ?

I have to say, that i am rather worried already! LOL

Hi everyone,

I am currently finishing off my paperwork ready to travel to Krakow tomorrow.
I cannot wait to get there

Anyone else there at the moment?

Any hints of places to go?

Yes I do, but my passengers ar usually 60+ and I am about half that age, so their idea of a night out is not exactly mine. ;-)

I am mainly trying to get to know the less touristy places to go and eat/drink/meet people etc...

I take out 50 passengers of about 50-60+ but I am not with them 24/7 and have free evenings to go out by myself. But I would like to make the most of my free time and nights out. Either try different places or getting to know people.

Hi!

Infortunately I am back in not so sunny England, back at work and missing Krakow already.

I hope you have a great time over there?

I will be goingback there on the 13th Oct and I really cannot wait. I am unsure about what the weather will be like though. All year I have have had great weather each time I have been out, but I have been told how cold it gets in the winter months.

Hi to everyone here.

i am currently n an internet Cafe in Krakow.

And I found some South Africans last night in Someplace Else watching Argentina get thrashed. it was great (My mother is South African, so I was thrilled by thre result)

As for the quiz night. it sounds good, but tonight is my last night here till i' back in November. I am going home on Tues afternoon. Im not keen on going back to the Uk though (which is normal)
