Travel / Old town Krakow, is it dangerous during Night time? [42]

I'm sure that Krakow benefits from the stag do's, I don't want to blow things out of proportion, the rowdy types are in the minority, but also I spend allot of time in the summer taking my visitors to see the sights and the night life, so I guess i get to see the odd rowdies more regularly than a casual weekend visitor would.

Still a great place to go to for a weekend.

As for the Police comment, yes it's best to keep out of the way if you can.

"stag parties represent a threat of violence? " They are not necessarily violent, but they can appear intimidating to those who are not used to the degenerate scenes of UK inner cities on a Saturday night such as the throwing up,shouting and tits,bums out for all to see.

Apart from the drunkard stag parties Krakow is very safe at night, my wife and I have never had any problems walking around late at night.

Don't forget the Polish Police are well trained in dealing with trouble, this probably stems from their ex communist riot training.

But be warned If you ever take on a Polish Police dog they are trained to go for the testicles not your arm.

News / The European Health Card. Why don't the Poles know about it? Free Medical care. [26]

We used to buy expensive European travel insurance , we don't bother these days, the only thing is repatriation if lets say you can't fly, we got round that by hiring a minivan (with a mattress in the back) and driving back through the channel tunnel, must admit i was tired after 18 hours of driving.

"think he was spiked", more like he was not used to strong Polish Beer.

When I am In Krakow I never speak English in the bars, the Brits are turning the place into the Magaluf of the east

My wife snapped her Achilles tendon all was covered by the EHIC card, Investigation, xrays, consultants surgeon, they offered her an operation to repair it but we were due to go back to the uk, so they plastered her leg up and we drove back to the uk, funny thing was the UK didn't offer an operation to fix it, they said the risk of infection was high, so it was a case of 10 weeks in plaster, resetting foot position every few weeks, after all the hassle in the UK my wife wished she had the operation in Poland, recovery would be much quicker.

Got to say hospital was great, no queuing no drunkards inA&E just a quick photocopy of passport and EHIC Job done.
