On another note lads pls be careful the police and bouncers don't f**k about over there, especially if your rowdy on the street we were signing the welsh national anthem outside a bar at 4 am (God knows why)all 25 of us and they didn't take kindly to it.If you get a chance go to the Irish bar just in the main part of the square got a city shirt in there and also try Roosters Restaurant feck me we were all dribbling as the waitresses itire is unreal hot pants and low cut tops think the food was OK to :D

Yes I wnt there last year on a stag doo, was in May. Awsome place, fantastic beer and food which was all for a very good price! We went paintballing there, highly recommend it, although the rules are a little lax to say the least!

Geekishly the sites around the main square are really good. The church is absolutely huuuuuggge! Incredible architecture.

Really good time had and I am sure youll enjoy urself, just behave though as they dont take any messing about.

P.S. The locals didnt take too kindly to the fancy dress the stag was in one day...fishnet stockings and sandals with a wig...he had shorts underneath! An old man approached us whilst having a beer and spat on the floor shouting some polish insult too him!

You got to take a trip to the salt mine, it's nothing like you'd expect a salt mine to be, they got 200 miles of tunnels and two cathedrals under there, it's a must see.

On a darker note but it's somewhere everone should go, Auschwitz an Berganua concentration camps are an easy ride away,not stag do material, but a massive wake up call to man's cruelty.

We also went to see Schindlers factory, mind you we couldn't get in because our name's weren't on the list. No we did get in and it was quite eerie.

Go to the ground the morning before the game and get them then. Crowds for games (except the local derby against Wisla Krakow) are quite low so shouldn`t be a problem getting tickets.

Have been to Wisla games and enjoyed the atmosphere - they are due to move to their new ground soon - but standard of football not great.

Agree with Gwyn about the salt mines - really impressive. Get the train from main station direct to the mine as a quick and cheap way to get there.

Can also recommend the CK Browar brew pub just off Krakow main square - ask any local for directions. They serve beer brewed on the premises in 5 litre tall tubes and do cheap food to go with it as well.

mY Missus is Polish great lookers over there !! infact you will be mesmorised starting from the time you land !!!!! Some great underground bars in the city and the castle dominates the center along with the large traditional european style market square with a tall tower. Great beer over there any polish beer is usually better than our rubbish try zubr tyskie zywiec harnas or warka if you see the word 'mocne' its a strong beer.

The salt mine visit is a must incredible place to be honest and they do uk tours and I grabbed a taxi and the bloke offered to park up and wait for me only cost around £20 for the whole afternoons hire !!!

Great city enjoy yourself !!! :ayatollah:
