Krakow isn&#8217;t as small as you may think. It&#8217;s a very spacious city despite its size. Since I had only half an afternoon to explore the city &#8211; I grabbed a tourist taxi and let me show it around. However, if this is too overkill for you, I would like to remind you of my day 1 transportation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8386\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSC00173.jpg\" alt=\"Trabant in Krakau\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSC00173.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSC00173-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSC00173-1440x960.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The ride in the Trabi is the iconic alternative to the tourist taxi &#8211; even if these cars are not likely to drive around at least in Switzerland &#8211; it is simply a great experience. They called it communism tour. Also Trabi driver was very entertaining and knew a lot about the story. So if you have more time, you should try this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-8550 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/reisebericht-krakau\/dsc00529\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00529.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00529.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00529-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00529-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00529-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/reisebericht-krakau\/dsc00555\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00555.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00555.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00555-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00555-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00555-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/en\/reisebericht-krakau\/dsc00567\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00567.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00567.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00567-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00567-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSC00567-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Krakow is home to many church buildings and other elaborate buildings from bygone eras.

The cost of living is correspondingly low for swiss people. Lunch menu&#8217;s are very cheap available even in the steakhouse. For my bagel I paid about 2 CHF in the restaurant. This also makes Poland attractive for shopping. To explore Krakow and the surrounding area, you should stay for a few days if possible. With a tight program, the city can (at least partially) be discovered during a weekend trip.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever been to Krakow?<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"1102\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Poland-Krakau-krakow-polen-travel-Reisebericht-2.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Poland-Krakau-krakow-polen-travel-Reisebericht-2.png 735w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Poland-Krakau-krakow-polen-travel-Reisebericht-2-300x450.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"1102\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Poland-Krakau-krakow-polen-travel-Reisebericht.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Poland-Krakau-krakow-polen-travel-Reisebericht.png 735w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Poland-Krakau-krakow-polen-travel-Reisebericht-300x450.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Last month I was in Poland for the first time, in the special city of Krakow.
