The tram system in Krakow imposes heavy penalties on unsuspecting tourists. The inspectors are completely intolerant of tourists ignorance and are very aggressive. It is a particularly nasty and unpleasant experience. Be warned, and don't make innocent mistakes. They take no prisoners and it appears that they treat tourists as easy targets.

My lovely wife and I have just returned from the most wonderful holiday in the hidden eastern European gem Krakow. This weekend getaway was made even better by the staff at PKG real estate who organised our lovely apartment in the old town. If your going to Krakow and wish to have a relaxing stay then leave all the hard work to them.

Cracow Life is a website about Cracow/Krakow that has soul! In particular I refer to the drink section to research good pubs and bars and night clubs for a piwo (beer), and there's usually loads of good public reviews too so you can get a flavour of what each place is like and how popular they are. They also have feature articles on things like nightlife and the various tourist attractions.

Galicia was once the heart of Eastern European Jewish culture. This museum gives a great introduction and interesting overview of this fascinating culture.

The permanent exhibition, Traces of Memory, is a contemporary look at the Jewish past in Poland. The exhibition features the work of the late photographer Chris Schwarz. Over a period of twelve years, he travelled together with Prof. Jonathan Webber (UNESCO Chair of Jewish and Interfaith Studies, University of Birmingham, UK) town by town and village by village. Their work offers a special way of looking at the Jewish past that was destroyed in Poland. I enjoyed the exhibition as very informative and thought-provoking.

Check the changing current exhibition as well!
