Travel / Collection of dress codes in Poland - what to wear? [96]

Krakow has some of the most beautiful churches. Many are open to the public - though some charge a small fee to go inside...its well worth it though to see the inside of them.

I also loved how the the priests and nuns actually dressed in the more traditional getup of their orders. Where I am its getting harder and harder to tell who is of the clergy and who isn't.
