People often refer to it as the 'new Prague' and I'm never really sure what they mean by this. It is becoming a popular stag destination but it hasn't grown to a level that overshadows the cultural and historic atmosphere that the city has. Thankfully Krakow hasn't developed the rash and mercantile tourism enterprises found in Prague either. Only time will tell how this will all work out.

Whether you are coming to Krakow on a weekend break, business trip or backpacking adventure a good all-round guide I can recommend is www.cracow-life.com which has all the information you could need. I even find it handy as expat as it lists local news, events and weather.

I think the best time to visit Krakow is in December when the Christmas market is in full swing on the main market square. It's setting in the medieval streets, with a bit of snow thrown in, is perfect for a bit of festive magic.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17294 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17242 AmazingDusseldorf.com is an English language internet city guide that provides detailed information about the city and getting along there. It eases newcomers into life in Dusseldorf and the German cultural environment.

I found very handy and relevant information concerning themes of everyday life and the living experience in the city. The listing of English speaking doctors and lawyers or English language schools provides a good feeling and tips on current events, news and comments to regional and national peculiarities are interesting to know.

Direct links to the current weather, the traffic situation in NRW and the arrival schedule of the airport Dusseldorf makes it also worth bookmarking this page.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17242 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17218
Churches with services in English, pubs with fish and chips and even Sunday roast, events, official matters and much more.

This site is geared towards the expat living in Saigon for the most part and focuses on the District 1.

The discussion forum doesn't seem to have much traffic.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15413 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15004 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15004 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13874 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13874 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13802
Pavements are dreadfully dilapidated, and often obstructed by parked cars. This is not a town for baby buggies, let alone wheelchairs (I have never seen anyone in a wheelchair). The elderly should also beware.

Also, an English-langauge newspaper Sofia Echo, published Fridays with listings: www.sofiaecho.com
