CONTEST AND <\/span><span class=\"x_s3\">LA PLACE MAIN SQUARE<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Let&#8217;s start with what brought us to Krakow in December, the <strong>beautiful Rynek Gl\u00f3wny Square <\/strong>and its Christmas market. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">This is the former market square, <strong>shopping square that has become the most beautiful medieval square in the world and the largest in Europe (200 meters by 200 meters)<\/strong>. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">As Krakow&#8217;s main source of income is tourism, this square is the city&#8217;s economic lungs.<\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">It is surrounded by remarkable townhouses, and at its center stands a beautiful central hall known as <strong>&#8220;la halle aux draps &#8220;<\/strong> from its primary function.<\/span> <span class=\"x_s2\">There&#8217;s also a belfry and the Basilica of Sainte-Marie. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\"><strong>The Rynek Gl\u00f3wny square is home to Krakow&#8217;s Christmas market at the end of the year<\/strong>.<\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">But before we tell you more about that, we&#8217;d like to introduce you to Krakow&#8217;s Christmas soul: its famous nativity scenes. <\/span> <span class=\"x_s2\">Indeed, Christmas rhymes more than ever with nativity scenes in this corner of Europe. <strong>Inscribed in 2014 to the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO,<\/strong> the tradition of making its nativity scenes is unique to Krakow. For the past 80 years, a competition has been held every year on the 1st Thursday in December to showcase the cribs and elect the most beautiful. The tradition of Cracovian nativity scenes is a traditional craft closely linked to Krakow. This know-how consists in creating unique nativity scenes, inspired mainly by the architecture of Krakow&#8217;s old town. (itself a Unesco World Heritage site).<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Nearly 200 artists in various categories present their nativity scenes to a panel of judges. From young children to adults, to the most passionate and meticulous among them, participants present genuine works of art created from wood, plywood, cardboard, tissue paper, silver foil, candy and chocolate wrapping paper, and recycled materials, some requiring up to two years&#8217; work. The competition for the most beautiful Cracovian crib was initiated with the aim of nurturing this traditional craft, and promoting and popularizing the unique element of Cracovian folk culture that is the Cracovian crib.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">To admire them, an exhibition showcases them at the <strong>Cracow Museum<\/strong> located on the edge of Rynek Square at the corner of Szczepa\u0144ska Street. From the first Monday after December 1 until February, you can come here to admire the year&#8217;s nativity scenes. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">If you come at any other time of the year, you can also visit the permanent exhibition, which features a number of nativity scenes to give you an idea of what&#8217;s on offer, or admire some from earlier competitions, displayed in glass cases in different parts of the town. I recommend a visit with the whole family, as the exhibition is great fun, with a surprise: a human-sized crib!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span class=\"x_s2\">Krakow is one of those cities where traditions are deeply rooted in the Catholic faith.<\/span> You should know that nowhere else are such beautiful and extraordinary works commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ being built<\/strong> !<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49463 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-2.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-2-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-2-1440x1137.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-2-1536x1213.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-2-800x632.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49462 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-1-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1440x1137.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1536x1213.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-1-800x632.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49465 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1440x739.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1536x788.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-creche-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3-800x411.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ulb23 GNqVo yxtKT allowTextSelection\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Corps du message\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"rps_2384\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Now back to the Krakow Christmas Market. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">A market on a human scale, with mainly locally produced products and lots of specialty food stalls. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Among the most interesting products, we spotted the <strong>ceramic Christmas decorations from Boles\u0142awiec<\/strong> with pretty Christmas baubles, Christmas tree candleholders to decorate your end-of-year tables and lots of other beautiful kitchen objects. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">You&#8217;ll also find decorations of all kinds (more or less happy), as well as wooden toys and kitchen utensils, winter clothing stalls and handmade candles.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rynek Gl\u00f3wny square is beautiful by day and by night, and we were able to admire it in the fog, in the evening and in bright sunshine!

And Krakow, a small town on a human scale, has many interesting points of interest. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Starting with <strong>the Jewish quarter of Kazimierz<\/strong>, the city&#8217;s strongest district in several respects. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">History first of all, as this district was strongly marked by the Second World War and the Holocaust. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Kazimierz was home to 65,000 Jews, or 25% of Krakow&#8217;s population. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Nazi Germany expelled a large part of this population at the start of the war, before locking the rest up in a ghetto to make them work and then exterminating them between 1942 and 1943. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Very few of the Jews who fled or escaped this barbarism returned after the Second World War, and only a small community still exists today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">All that remains of this era are a few memorial sites and several synagogues. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">One of them has become a museum of Jewish culture. It&#8217;s right in the heart of the district, on Place Szeroka. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">A small museum in a typical, historic building that lets you project yourself into the lives of Jewish families in the pre-war period. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">On display are portraits of people who have lived here, of Jewish families, as well as a multitude of objects and documents representative of Jewish religion and culture. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">The museum is not very large and requires very little time to visit, but we highly recommend it. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Admission costs 20 zloty\/p, or just over \u20ac4, and we had to spend a good half-hour there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"x_s2\">It&#8217;s also in this district that old shopfronts have been used for the <strong>film the Steven Speelberg, \u00ab Schindler&#8217;s list<\/strong> \u00bb<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">The other side of Kazimierz is that it has reinvented itself to become a trendy district. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">It was first taken over by students and the working poor, but also by artists who helped it evolve. Trendy restaurants are now emerging in the area<\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">You&#8217;ll find a wide range of shops, caf\u00e9s for long hours, artists&#8217; galleries and boutiques, markets on Place Nowy, as well as bars and nightclubs. <strong>The Kazimierz district is particularly sought-after by all antique and vintage lovers<\/strong>. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Here are just a few of the places you can go to enjoy this district, which is not a place to visit, but a place to experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I invite you to book a free tour of the Kazimierz district to learn more about

we spotted an Underground-style beer bar, the <strong>Dom\u00f3wka cafe<\/strong>, offering a fine menu of beers, many of them local, such as this pine-flavored forest beer. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">It is located on rue Miodowa. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">A place frequented mainly by people in their twenties and thirties who come to unwind with a drink and a game of cards. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"x_p3\">\n<h3><span class=\"x_s2\">Where to eat in Kazimierz<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">At Place Nowy, you can sample the city&#8217;s street-food atmosphere. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Several stalls grouped together in what used to be the town&#8217;s Kosher abattoirs offer you the chance to try the local specialty, the<strong>a Zapiekanka<\/strong>. A slice of toasted bread that can be topped with a variety of condiments. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">If the idea of street-food doesn&#8217;t appeal to you all that much, the square is home to several establishments worth trying out, including the place where we dined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"x_p3\">\n<h3><span class=\"x_s2\">Where to dine <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">in Kazimierz<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">We tried out the trendy restaurant <strong>Bazaar Bistrot<\/strong>. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">A trendy, industrial, modern decor with a long counter, allowing you to eat on it and see what&#8217;s going on in the kitchen. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">It&#8217;s the place to be for Krakow&#8217;s young professionals, with a fine selection of wines, mostly French, Italian and Spanish, but also Polish, complemented by local beers. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">On the food side, you&#8217;ll enjoy a varied menu featuring Polish dishes as well as recipes from Western Europe, like the wines. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">For an aperitif, try padron peppers (Spanish tapas) or Marennes d&#8217;ol\u00e9ron oysters. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">On the food side, we love the tasty soups, the generous sandwiches and the beautifully presented dishes and salads. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">It&#8217;s definitely a trendy place, serving masterful dishes with well-realized recipes that will let you feel the atmosphere of a place to live in this modern, new Krakow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"x_p3\">\n<h3><span class=\"x_s2\">Where to have a coffee\/brunch<\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">in Kazimierz<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">We recommend a stop at the <strong>Cytat Caf\u00e9 Miodowa street<\/strong>. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">A warm, cocooning caf\u00e9 with wooden decor, small sofas and book-covered shelves. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">It&#8217;s actually a tea room offering traditional English-style brunches and homemade pastries. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Once again, a trendy place to feel the life of the inhabitants of this district. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Beware, the Poles seem to go to brunch early, so we stopped by around 11am and it was completely full! <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">It remains to be seen whether this is the case at all times, or whether it&#8217;s better to make a reservation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49372 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-marches-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-marches-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-marches-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-marches-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1440x1010.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-marches-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1536x1078.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-marches-de-noel-mademoiselle-voyage-3-800x561.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_WAWEL_CASTLE_AND_CATHEDRAL\"><\/span><span class=\"x_s3\">| WAWEL CASTLE AND CATHEDRAL<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Head for the heart of town along the short, narrow Kanonizca street, to discover <strong>Wawel Castle<\/strong>, former residence of the kings of Poland at a time when Krakow was the capital of the Polish kingdom. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Situated on the Wawel hill, on the banks of the Wisla river, it has seen several dynasties succeed one another, with a period of splendor from the 15th to the 18th century, before the country split between Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">It only regained its independence following the First World War and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, before falling under the dictates of Nazi Germany during the Second World War. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Each of these periods has left its mark on the style of Wawel Castle and its cathedral, with additions and modifications to its architecture. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Many of these traces are still clearly visible today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">The palace is essentially built in Renaissance style, recognizable in particular by the arcades and friezes visible in the courtyard of tournaments. <strong>The castle&#8217;s interiors house treasures that absolutely must be visited<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll be able to admire a display of tapestries from the royal collection on one side of the building, and the Baroque style of decoration on the other, with black marble and leather wall coverings. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">The Austro-Hungarian period left its mark on the castle, with a &#8220;purification&#8221; of certain ornaments and even buildings. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Their idea was not to destroy the existing building, but rather to make it as useful as possible for military activity, since at the time it was a barracks. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">This led to the destruction of a chapel, the remains of which can still be seen in the garden, and a military hospital which is now an administrative center. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">The brick architecture is typical of late 19th century building practices. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Finally, the Nazi period left its mark on the Zamek building with its vaulted arches. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">The question of preserving the traces of this architecture was debated, before concluding that it was also part of Poland&#8217;s history and should not be destroyed. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">The cathedral juxtaposing the palace is also a melting pot of all its eras. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">It features medieval, renaissance and baroque architecture. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Each king wanted to add his own touch to ensure his legacy would live on. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">This cathedral was the place where kings were crowned and buried. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">A crypt houses the kings and queens buried here, as well as some of Poland&#8217;s most famous figures, just as we can at the Pantheon. <\/span><strong><span class=\"x_s2\">You can also climb to the 2nd floor of the belfry housing the bells, <\/span><\/strong><span class=\"x_s2\"><strong>in operation for only a few months of the year<\/strong>. One of the curiosities is this large main bell, mounted 500 years ago, never having been replaced and still being operated manually by simple ropes<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">. <\/span> <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Access is via wooden staircases, which in places are quite narrow, requiring you to twist slightly amidst the original wooden timbers, giving a real charm to the climb. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Inside, a rather small cathedral and 18 chapels, with a real Baroque touch given to the place by the massive use of black marble from Poland. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Join us on a guided tour of this castle, the <strong>one of Poland&#8217;s most important historical sites<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>&#x27a1;&#xfe0f;<\/strong><\/span> <a

whatever the season, is its &#8220;<strong>Planty Park<\/strong> &#8221; surrounding the old town. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">This green belt delimits the city&#8217;s old fortifications and provides a pleasant dividing line between the old and the new Krakow. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">This is where you can see some of the Christmas cribs on display. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Strolling through this park, you can go<strong> discover the typical Kleparz market<\/strong> at Barbakan Gate. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">This small covered market brings together greengrocers and specialized craftsmen, housed in small atypical cottages scattered around the heart of the market (fishmongers, butchers, bakers, etc.). <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">A lively market with real life scenes, where you can buy good fresh mushrooms in season (September-October-November) and dried mushrooms out of season, as Poland is a huge consumer of ceps, chanterelles and other mushrooms. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">It has to be said that there&#8217;s a real ancestral culture here of picking them, and many Poles take up this hobby to sell and eat them. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">You&#8217;ll also find a good roaster in this market, housed in a gatehouse with a small outdoor terrace that makes you want to linger a while. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Back on the green belt, heading for the <strong>city music conservatory<\/strong> for a tour of Krakow&#8217;s rooftops. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Peu de spots sont ouverts toute l\u2019ann\u00e9e en raison des temp\u00e9ratures souvent n\u00e9gatives, mais vous pourrez avoir une <strong>belle vue sur la ville depuis le restaurant\/bar<\/strong><strong>located on the roof-top of this buildingt<\/strong>, the <strong>Metrum<\/strong>. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">The entrance is via the music conservatory, opposite the entrance to the Campanile hotel. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Then take the elevator to the 6th floor. You&#8217;ll be able to see the view in all weathers, as the indoor bar is fully glazed and has an outdoor terrace in enfilade for warmer and\/or sunnier days. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">This ruling will undoubtedly mark the<\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">little extra for your stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Krakow&#8217;s surroundings are also of interest. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">First, a visit to the<strong>\u2019former Auschwitz concentration camp<\/strong> which we didn&#8217;t visit for lack of time, but also by choice.<\/span> <span class=\"x_s2\">It&#8217;s a 1h30 drive from Krakow. If you&#8217;d like to combine the salt mine with the Auscwitz camp, you can book a day trip.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>&#x27a1;&#xfe0f;<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"x_s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitatis.com\/fr\/cracovie\/auschwitz-mine-sel\/?aid=12147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Book your combined tour here<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Instead, we opted for the <strong>visit the Unesco World Heritage Wieliczka salt mine alone<\/strong>. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">This man-made site is above all a geological curiosity. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Created by the evaporation of a salty sea following an abrupt climate change, the salt was then compacted by the appearance of mountains, creating a salt deposit over an area 60km long, 2km wide and 400m deep. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">Exploited from the 17th century until 1996, man dug no less than 300km of galleries, only three of which are currently open to visitors. That&#8217;s 40 rooms, some of them over 30 metres high. There are salt sculptures depicting local legends, scenes from life in the mine, artistic works and Christian places of worship such as the sumptuous and atypical <strong>Saint-Kinga chapel<\/strong>. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\"><strong>A mass is celebrated here every Sunday morning, free of charge<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">The entire mine was consolidated as it was created, with logs that had been there for the first 400 years and were in a perfect state of preservation thanks to the salt! <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">All this creates a lovely underground atmosphere where you&#8217;ll even find a restaurant for lunch and a cafeteria in the middle of the course. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">On a practical note, the tour lasts around 2h to 2h30 and begins with a descent of around 40 floors via a wide, well-maintained staircase with low steps. The return to the surface is a 10-minute walk, followed by a high-speed elevator. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">However, throughout the visit, between 80 and 100 meters down, there are several staircases to climb, and we chose to take the baby carrier for practical reasons (and because strollers are not allowed on this site). <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Tours are given in groups of around 20, depending on the language required, and tours are also available in French. However, the slots are larger in English. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49441 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-1-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1440x1132.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1536x1208.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-1-800x629.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49442 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-2.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-2-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-2-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49444 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-3-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1440x1132.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1536x1208.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-3-800x629.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49445 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-4.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-4-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-mine-de-sel-wieliczka-mademoiselle-voyage-4-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_WHAT_TO_DO_AROUND_CRACOW\"><\/span>| WHAT TO DO AROUND CRACOW<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you go to Krakow in winter, I suggest you visit Zakopane for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/krakow-l40\/krakow-zakopane-and-thermal-pools-tour-t369066\/?partner_id=CHI11LO&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-end\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;

This restaurant, located in the heart of the old town, was once a place of assistance for the most destitute. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">It has since been transformed into a popular place for families to visit, just as we would go to a cafeteria, but retaining the simplicity and authenticity of its beginnings. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">You&#8217;ll be able to choose your dish from the menu displayed on a large board, and then order in cafeteria style. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Simple and effective. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">For dinner, a few steps from Wawel Castle and just behind the Planty, the <strong>restaurant Pod Paranem<\/strong> offers an atypical museum\/restaurant concept. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">A bistronomic menu in a rather rustic setting, with old 19th-century furniture and contemporary works on the walls of this old building. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">On the menu are traditional Polish recipes, all very well prepared, to give you a good idea of the local gastronomy. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">The menu features meat products, traditional soups and the inevitable mushrooms. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Our choice was the chef&#8217;s soup with chunks of potato, sausage and hard-boiled egg in a herb jus, and the creamy mushroom soup served in a loaf of bread. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Poland and Eastern Europe are definitely the countries where you can taste the best soups! <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Next, lamb and poultry before finishing with the chef&#8217;s original cake. A dessert blending spicy, fruity and chocolatey flavors in the manner of a revisited Christmas black forest. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">A beautiful address in Krakow. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Remember to reserve your table in advance, as the restaurant is regularly full. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_TRAVELING_WITH_A_BABY_IN_KRAKOW\"><\/span>| TRAVELING WITH A BABY IN KRAKOW<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We knew it was going to be sub-zero temperatures during the Christmas markets, but that didn&#8217;t stop us! We had -6 degrees, which was still bearable. Don&#8217;t forget to pack for your baby: <strong>a stuffed hat, mittens, a choker, woollen clothing and thermal underwear (in case of extreme cold), a warm down jacket and a fleece or woollen blanket to cover legs and shoes in case of extreme cold.<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll also need well-insulated or lined shoes that don&#8217;t pinch, so that air can circulate between the toes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even if we&#8217;ve given Gabriel a taste of the culinary specialities on offer at the markets, regular coffee breaks and sit-down lunches will enable you to check that the body&#8217;s extremities aren&#8217;t too frozen, and reactivate your child&#8217;s circulation by letting him stretch his legs in the restaurant while eating a hot meal. The break will allow him to start again and not suffer from the cold. <strong>moisturize the skin with an oily, regenerating cream.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As explained above, for this few-day getaway, we took the stroller and baby carrier with us to the salt mine. If you&#8217;re not planning to go there, it won&#8217;t be essential. It&#8217;s especially useful when you need to climb a belfry, for example, as baby carriages are often prohibited.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, as far as food is concerned, we&#8217;ve had a hard time finding ready-made meals for his age to tide us over (we&#8217;ve sometimes found little jars in pharmacies, but only from 6 months onwards, and they&#8217;re too mushy for him). As a result, he ate like us for lunch and dinner at the restaurant. Just remember to take 1 or 2 tupperware items with you. In fact, it&#8217;s very practical for making doggy bags when dishes aren&#8217;t finished, so you can refill them the next day and reheat them all over the place. You can also cut up pieces of fruit, store cupcakes, and so on. It&#8217;s a must-have for us, because it&#8217;s so practical when traveling!<\/p>\n<div class=\"ulb23 GNqVo yxtKT allowTextSelection\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Corps du message\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"rps_2384\">\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"x_p3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_WHERE_TO_STAY_IN_CRACOW\"><\/span><span class=\"x_s5\">| WHERE TO STAY IN CRACOW<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s2\">We recommend staying at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pl\/golden-tulip-krakow-kazimierz.fr.html?aid=1792419&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Golden Tulip Hotel<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a>.

An efficient buffet in itself. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">It&#8217;s not the charm of this hotel that will win you over, but the compromise between comfort, location and price. <\/span><span class=\"x_s2\">Price per night in December: approx. 90\u20ac\/double room with breakfast <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>I&#8217;ve spotted a few addresses in Krakow like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pl\/2-minutes-apartments.fr.html?aid=1792419&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>3 minutes apartments Old Town<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pl\/aliebeskind-boutique.fr.html?aid=1792419&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Liebeskind Boutique Hotel<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pl\/ac-by-marriott-krakow.fr.html?aid=1792419&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Ac hotel by Marriott<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pl\/polski-pod-bialym-orlem.fr.html?aid=1792419&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Hotel Polski Pod<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.fr.html?city=-510625&amp;aid=1792419&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Here you&#8217;ll find a wide choice of accommodation in Krakow <\/span><\/a> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49439 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-place-rynek-glowny-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-place-rynek-glowny-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-place-rynek-glowny-mademoiselle-voyage-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-place-rynek-glowny-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-place-rynek-glowny-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-place-rynek-glowny-mademoiselle-voyage-1-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49438 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-hotel-golden-tulip-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-hotel-golden-tulip-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-hotel-golden-tulip-mademoiselle-voyage-1-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-hotel-golden-tulip-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1440x506.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-hotel-golden-tulip-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1536x539.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pologne-cracovie-hotel-golden-tulip-mademoiselle-voyage-1-800x281.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_GETTING_TO_KRAKOW\"><\/span>| GETTING TO KRAKOW<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To get to Krakow, we booked on the Transavia website as the timetable suited us perfectly.

If you&#8217;re planning a short break, a long-haul trip or even a round-the-world tour, travel insurance will provide you with the essential cover you need to enjoy your stay in total peace of mind: cancellation, baggage, assistance, medical expenses, hospitalization, death, repatriation and all the other hassles you could avoid. Opt for cancellation insurance in case of Covid and border closures. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/travel-insurances-choosing-the-right-one-for-your-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt;\">Read more in our dedicated article<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to help youfind the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapkadirect.fr\/index.php?app=cd_mllevoyage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong>best insurance and on the Chapka website<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span>, our travel partner since our Round the World Tour<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before you leave, I invite you to consult <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/thematics\/christmas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>all our articles on Europe&#8217;s Christmas markets<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a> to inspire you for the coming holidays:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/cologne-discover-christmas-markets-the-german-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Cologne&#8217;s Christmas markets<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/prague-discover-the-citys-most-beautiful-christmas-markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Prague&#8217;s most beautiful Christmas markets<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/prague-discover-the-citys-most-beautiful-christmas-markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Christmas markets in Alsace<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Krakow is a pretty Polish city with some lovely Christmas markets to discover from early December.
