Hi, Jordan. If you still trying to find a village that your grandmather is from , it’s propably Hadykowka (originally: Hadykówka) and it’s located about 170 km from Krakow. Here is link to Google maps: http://maps.google.pl/maps/place?ftid=0x473d3d15a41b7919:0xc0bebf60c465f070&q=hadyk%C3%B3wka&hl=pl&ved=0CAwQ-gswAA&sa=X&ei=nM-mT6T3K8byjQfCpoAl.

One of the best quality website on travelling I have come across is cracow-life.com, I feel like taking a flights to Poland and visit its beautiful places after reading this article.

visited krakow from the 8th to the 13th dec,fantastic place.

Just back from our second visit to Krakow and planning a further visit. Need I say more!

Krakow IS THE BEST PARTY CITY IN ALL EUROPE!!!! fell in love with the city on my eurotrip. The most beautiful girls, the polish attitude, the incredible sightseeing,prices, everything is just perfect in Krakow the only city that could be compared was Berlin and Munich. I miss you Krakow!! I

cool city, no violence, people very friendly and night life is smashing

The most romantic and beautiful place i have ever experienced in my life. Everyone so friendly,although i can speak the language, the food was fantastic, and the vodka, well the best in the world. The only down side is that there is no permanent work out there and the pay is very poor. Otherwise i would be out there to stay permanently!

Our class at school have saved enough money to travell to Krakow for a weekend. I have some expectasions, but I hope it will be a fantastic trip!

KRAKOW ROCKS!

We are looking to travel to Krakow in September and would like help arranging the trip, where to stay, events, visits to historical sites, etc. We also have cousins there and would like to find them. Any help would be appreciated. Perhaps we can arrange for a personal guide. Any help would be appreciated.

i lived in this beautiful city for 2 months. it is an absolutely wonderful place. for all of you who liked this city I recomend a smaller city to you called Opole.

We are traveling to Krakow in April with my 15 year old daughter. What recommendations do you have that won't break the bank and will be cool?

I am trying to find a village that my grandmother is from. I believe it is near Krakow. She was born in Hadikfuka (sp?). Does any one know where this village is located. I believe it was (is) a farming village.

iam from Holland but when i go to karcow ,i feel home really most of my friends are from here and iam in love with kracow and ,the polish people most of the are my best friends ,love you kracow and poland ,,,

This fantastic city, a large town with a small town flavor, must be seen. Forget Wrasaw, Prague and Paris until you have visited Poland's royal capital first.

I love Krakow Poland. Just got back from Poland. The most amazing people on this earth, could not ask for more freindlier people ever. The food was out of this world. The history was sad, Poland has been hit a few times by sensless people but this is what makes them stronger. Will go back in a heartbeat.

Hi Anne. A group of us are going too in Oct. If your still around email me and let's swap ideas.

Hi, just posting my comment in regards to previous one about drinks and girl. Sorry to hear you lost money etc but I would never have a drink with a random girl that approached me. Just be sensible, not a fool.

My husband is currently stranded in Poland due to the volcano erupting in Iceland. He has sent emails regularly and though is was supposed to be a short business trip that has turned into a 'holiday'... he is loving the adventure and the sights and all that Krakow has to offer. I checked out this website to see what he was trying to describe to me. I will be glad to have him home safe and sound eventually, but for now he is enjoying your city!

just returned from krakow,our third visit to this beautiful city.however i agree with niklas.m. earlier review.my son was approached by these same girls and asked to have a drink with them,then he was approached by a third person to pay up extortionate amouts of money.howerever he got away with stomping up about 40 pounds.but i agree if the police do not get a grip on these scumbags it will tarnish the citys repution.please spread the word to every one about this scum

What is the correct spelling of Krakow for English people? Or are there two? On plane tickets it says Krakow, but in many books it says Cracow...? Thanks

Myself and 5 friends are planning on going to Cracow in October. What is the best area to stay in for visiting all the sites and places to eat and drink?

kroakow has a dragon name smok.

Kære pave,hav det godt alle Eders dage, må det vente mange år før de dør

I just returned to the States after a week in Krakow, attending the 65th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz with a survivor. This was my second time in Krakow and I was just as delighted this time around. I have now seen this city in the height of their summer and winter and it was absolutely delightful both times. There is so much to see, do, buy and eat!

Iam visiting krakow every year due to personal reasons for the last 7 years. Its really beautifull city full of culture. During my last visit even though I was really dissapointed beacuse they tried to cheat me in the old square. Some how the managed so because they managed to get form me 130.00 euro. You know is not the money but the attitute of the locals since they tried even to get from me a bigger amount. What they did, by using some girls in the streets of krakow playing that they are looking to get to know me and then all by suddeen the drinks to be offered cost 100 euro each. Its a pity and somehow the police should take care of those things which are hapening in that city because at the end of the Day the city itself will be harmed.

Thanks,
Nicos M

Great page! I'm visiting Krakow for the first time 20th - 24th of May 2010, and is really looking forward to seeing the city. This page has really helped me planning what to see and what to do. I'm thankful for that, and will give my review after the visit:)

i think this is kool

i am goin to krakow for 3days end of this month hope it will go like all the other comments that i read in here

just got back from krakow, what an amazing city!!! despite the cold the city was so alive, hoping to head back soon!

I been karakow , good city , i ived hostel named ANY TIME HOSTEL bt it is the worst one ,theysay lot of thin in their web page bt no kitchen facility over here , nothing old , for sleepping bed are dirty , expencive etc etc . pls dont stay ANY TIME HOSTEL, THnks

went to this amazing city 4 times this year everytime i find something new to do. a must is the death camps and the salt mines but on different days. (lots of walking). found this really nice place to eat called pod sloncem its on the main square and underground but great food and cheap beer. loved the night life in the old town brilliant. stayed in hotels the royal and the maly. the royal is in the centre of everything so is maly cant decide between the two lol. planning to go this easter to visit the black madonna with friends. i've been to many citys in europe usa and africa but this is the jem. just explore it.

Was in Krakow Oct 2009, must say what a great place, we loved it and had an absolute ball, despite the rain... We wanted to stay longer, unfortunately we didn't get to Auschwitz, will do next time though. Kazimierz and Wieliczka were a blast as well!!!

Flew into Krackow from Edinburgh for very first time Friday September 25th 2009 for 3 nights. Visited Auschitz and Birkenau first day by Mini bus second day by hired car. Quite a sight to see the depravity of Hitlers team.
Care hire from Global Car Hire to be highly recommended.
Very ancient city something like parts of Edinburgh and Glasgow with modern mixed with retaing old property.
Will be going back for a weekend with sons. Better than Ibiza..Tenerife..and sun drenched resorts where it is usually booze.eating,partying.

been there twice and going again on sept 09. brilliant place full of charm and history. endless bars with excellent cheap beer. i love this place. planning to make this an annual trip. but if you only go there once, please do not pass on the chance to go to auschwitz. going there makes you appreciate the wonderfulness of todays krakow even more.

I have just returned from Krakow - a splendid city, friendly people. The only thing I did not like was us - the British. Plenty of young men - drunk, noisy, aggressive sometimes. It's a shame we export something that would be best kept at home. I spoke to Poles - they like tourists, but they might do without British drunkards.

Just returned from Krakow had a sight seeing tour with my two sister's,the people was not very freindly the staff at the hotel did not hear of half the places we wanted to visit and we got ripped of by the taxi's would not go back,

My son and daughter-in-law are enjoying your beautiful Town of Krakow. God bless all the people of Poland - land of our beloved John Paul II.

I just got back from a European vacation and I have to say that Krakow was one of my favorite places!!!! I wish i would have seen this page before we left so i could experience even more of this amazing place!

great website very informative, makes me look forward to our visit even more

Forrest, I'm visiting Krakow alone also, arriving on the 7th August. Usually travel with friends but not this time, hope it will still be good.

Going to Krakow next month (5th August). It'll be my first time there. Hope everything goes fine. Is there anyone else travelling there alone like me ?

my boyfriend an i have just came back from a holiday in Dresden and in Prague and we have experienced our fair share of friendly and some unfriendly people in those countries, which was a real shame cause they just didnt do any justice to the country and their breathtaking views. i hope Krakow will be a fulfilling experience because i have wanted to go there for some time.

A great placeto be visited,very good poeple and country

Have just returned from a 7 day trip to Poland and spent 2 of them in Krakow. A truly unforgettable experience. The city is beautiful, the people very friendly and the food delicious!

Hello,friends,
Please advise if I am willing to visit Krakow,and I don't speak Polish,can I communicate with people in English? Thanks.Sandra.

Krakow truly is one of the most gorgeous places you can visit in Europe. If you can make it, get over there. Yes you may see the same in Prague and Vienna is popular too, but Krakow is a gem.

Love to see Krakow this summer.

Have visited Krakow three times, love the city, the people are friendly, a lot to do and see, much history, delicious food, very reasonable prices, a real gem. Hope to go back.

Krakow here I come!!

What a great city! There's a big party on the market square right now - Juwenalia - sort of like students' rag week or something, with lots of bands playing and good things going on! I'm wanna live here!

Nice place!!!

I want to go poland my wife poland live please help me

I went with college, in total there was fourty students aged 17-18. We stayed in a hotel just of the centre of the main sqaure in krakow, and it was very handy. The town is beautiful, the food was of excellence, and the polish mannor is very welcoming. I was most amazed by the food prices, i would have, a starter, main meal, 2x drinks. All for £8 - 40ZLOTY. Also i visited the death camps, and salt mines all very good, the tour guides were incredibly passionate.

I spent a week in Krakow in August 2006. I am going back there this summer. Met people from all over the globe. Most beautiful place I have ever been and I have been to a lot of places and I have lived in a lot of counties

I went to Krakow with a few friends, I really enjoy the culture, friendly people well some of them and the food. I would certainly go back again. Amazing view.

Having recently spent a couple of days in this great city my wife and I are keen to return and spend some more time exploring the many attractions, soaking up the history and sampling the food.

oh my god.. it is a very beautiful city .. if you want to see old and so beautiful places you have to go to krakow..nice new places you find it in krakow,,also it has very good and kind people too..really i like it

im a student and im doing a report on poland and its such a cool place!it was boring at first but the more i studied the more interested i was in it.ttyl

We spent the best New Year ever in Krakow and will most certainly be visiting again in Easter.

We spent the best New Year ever in Krakow and will most certainly be visiting again in Easter.

We just spent the most incredible new year in Krakow and want to go back - it's an amazing city with plenty to offer to everyone :-)

This place is not just for the guys!

Great for the girls as well - come on gals get involved!

Looking to go there for a stag do next year. What are people's thoughts on this?

Is the £ still going far in Poland anymore?

My friend and I spent four days in Krakow last month. We were unprepared for just how wonderful the city is. Krakow is truly steeped in history. We were fortunate to stay with Polish friends who had spent several years in the U.S. We are already planning a return atrip for next year.

Just got back from Krakow on 30.10.08 and I must say this is one of the most beautiful cities that I have ever been to in Europe. People are very friendly and helpful and the market square is truely fantastic place to be during the day and even better in the evening. Lots of things to see and do. We hired a car but you don’t really need one. When you book trips the tour companies will pick you up from the hotel. I will definitely return to this city soon. Well worth the trip.

Having just returned from a short break in Krakow, my wife and I are already planning our next visit. What a glorious city, a jewel to treasure.

Hi Guys just got back from Krakow, wish i could of stayed longer. Why the Poles want to come to the UK is beyond me. I found the people rearly nice. Lovely city, and very clean, lots of graffity , but that didnt bother me. Went to Austwiz, makes you think, didnt have time to do the SaltMines. This sight was very helpfull, ordered a taxi to pick us up and take us to airport. Eating out is cheap and very nice Anyone due to visit this lovely city will not be dissapionted. I look forward to returning to this city, reminds me a lot of Prauge. If your going soon have a great time. I know i carnt spell LOL.

omg amazing place ever to live in and be around!! loved everyone!
partyy cityy!!=]
