I love the design of Old Town Kraków! This park used to be the remnants of the city wall and moat…read more It totally surrounds all the historical areas of interest. You can find all kinds of hidden sights just by walking around it. We actually walked through it every day during our stay. There are memorial statues, playgrounds, and water features throughout the park. Although, like any city park, you will see someone passed out drunk or performing some kind of bodily function in front of you. It's an eye full. But hey, other than that it was a very relaxing walk under the shaded trees of this beautiful park. You'll have to pass through it at some point so you might as well enjoy it.

What an awesome park! The entire park surrounds Krakow Old Town and is full of beautiful trees and…read morenice wooden benches to rest and simply people watch. I was here in May and the trees provided a nice shade against the hot sun. I find it best to walk around the morning when it is not too crowded and simply get a nice peaceful walk in where I can be one with nature. I even witnessed a guy in a blazer and matching pants vomit from a park bench. I guess somebody enjoyed the nightlife too much. Tip, there are some restrooms which you get to by going down these stairs. You'll have to pay a few zlotys but it's not too bad. For guys, some charge differently depending on if you use stall or urinal.

Food was average. My cream of cauliflower soup was bland and the texture was off. If you like sweet and refreshing drinks, get the elderflower lemonade. It's excellent!

Energylandia was exceptional and easily one of the highlights of my time in Poland. The park was…read moreabsolutely spotless, the staff were friendly, and most importantly, it has some of the best roller coasters I've ever ridden. Zadra and Hyperion were the standouts for me, and I completely lucked out with exceptionally light crowds, which meant I was able to ride every coaster and still go back for repeats of my favorites. There was occasionally a small language barrier, but nothing that caused any real difficulty. One unexpected cultural discovery was that Polish coaster riders apparently do not share my enthusiasm for screaming through every drop, twist, and turn. We definitely earned a few surprised looks on our first ride, and experiencing these completely insane coasters in near silence was both hilarious and slightly surreal. Energylandia is an incredible park, and I'd return in a heartbeat. Hopefully someday I'll be back, screaming my way through Zadra all over again.

We came here while staying in Katowice. It was one of their special beach party nights where they…read morestay open late. All of the rides had no longer than a 40 minute wait, which was great! Most were about 20 to 30 minutes. We got on all the big roller coasters. We even made it our goal to get on all the roller coasters that were listed on the "costerholic" shirts and sweatshirts. We told the kids that if we went on all of them, we'd get them a shirt and we did. Hyperion was definitely my favorite. It was amazing. Energylandia is clean. People are nice, it is great amusement park. We said it reminded us of all the made up amusement parks you see in movies and they actually get to go to one in real life. I also love how cheesy it is. The roller coasters are spectacular. We didn't get to try out the waterpark. We just focused on the roller coasters.

It's pretty much self service once your kayak is…read morepointed out to you and out of season you will have to be pretty self reliant to get a kayak (especially if you don't speak Polish) but it's friendly and very good value for money. Down stream, it's a nice way to see the city and upstream you are almost immediately in the countryside outside Krakow.

One of the sports clubs that I like to visit after a hard day at work or just when I want to move a…read morebit. The place consists of a swimming pool and fitness area. The club is located on a minus one floor of a modern building behind famous "Forum" in Kraków. All the infrastructure is modern and nice looking (comfy couches at the reception, well equipped changing rooms etc.). As the pool is next to a large patio outdoors, it has a pleasant view and good light on sunny days. People at the reception are smiley and there is always a possibility to buy a fresh lemonade there. The club organizes swimming classes, aqua aerobic and normal fitness classes - during summer season some of the fitness classes are also organized on a rooftop of the builiding, with a great view on a Vistula river and Wawel castle. The pool is not very deep (max. 1,2 m) so it's a good place to come with children or if someone is an average swimmer. I don't recommend it to professional swimmers and divers. Except of the pool there is also a big jacuzzi to relax after exercise. No booking is needed to go randomly to the pool, but if someone wants to join aqua aerobic or fitness class it is essential to inform about it in advance.
