Krakow old town

We didn't take to Krakow as quickly as we did to Warsaw which surprised us as it's original medieval buildings rather than reconstructed and undoubtedly attractive. We think the main reason is the large number of tourists, mostly foreign, whereas the people in Warsaw seemed mainly Polish families and schoolkids. There are lots of touts for tours and restaurants and it generally feels over touristy.
Still breakfast in the sun on our balcony was lovely. Several places today were closed or only open restricted hours despite the times they publish. One museum was a big disappointment- the excavations under the main square have been preserved in situ and an underground museum created. The ruins were interesting and some artefacts looked nice but the only explanations were on touch screens that gave generic screeds rather than telling you what each piece was. We got frustrated and gave up. There are some nice churches, old city walls and gate, a Barbican fort but what we enjoyed most was shopping in the market and bringing it home for lunch.Read more
