The magical Wawel castle and cathedral are a beautiful sight, but the fire-breathing Wawel Dragon? That was awesome. Don't give up if it takes a while to breathe the fire out, it does it for 3 seconds in 5 minute intervals.

The Emaus Easter Fair is a traditional visit for all Krakowians on Easter Monday with plenty of snacks, toys, handmade accessories and more!

If you don't have a particularly long stay in Krakow, you may want to visit Auschwitz, Birkenau and the Wieliczka Mines all in one day. It will be tiring on your feet but it will be worth every moment, and you will have more time to do other things that you may want to do on the other days of your trip. As our driver had first said on the way to Auschwitz, "I wish you a fun day, but it can't be really fun because of where we are going, it can be barely called a tourist attraction", and he is absolutely right. Visiting the remains of WW2's horror is nothing to be excited about and many people can get affected badly, please be aware of this before you visit. The best thing is to understand, reflect and respect and learn from all that you see around you. It is very different watching movies and seeing pictures, compared to knowing that every step you are making is a place where one was tortured and killed. On the another hand, since it can have an emotionally draining effect, it is nice to continue the tour with the Salt Mine in Wieliczka to brighten up your mood again. I would rather be physically drained rather than emotionally. The body will heal itself after a nap, promise. Once again - this tour is worth it and I learnt many things that I would have never known otherwise.
