There is also an amazing view from the top of Zigmunt's Tower. I didn't do the castle either because of the huge crowds and besides there is so much more to see than just thye castle - Podgorze, Kazimierz, Tyniec Abby etc.

Sounds like you know your Krakow. I'm positive that I'll get another chance to see that beautiful city, this time with the girlfriend.

Yes, it really is a romantic place full of cozy candle-lit courtyards and beautiful parks, very quiet unlike most big cities, which is what I like the most.

I was actually contemplating crossing that fat bastard to get a view of the Thames. Really did love the area around St. Paul's but sadly couldn't afford to pay 15 pounds to look inside St. Paul's - and I really did just want to pray

A little hit of autumnal Krak

I don't mind the Millennium Bridge. I got a really nice pic of the bridge with St. Paul's main dome in the background.

Krakow's new museum of modern art, no exhibitions yet, opens for a sneak preview this week. It's in a retrofitted factory right next to the world famous Schindler Factory Museum. Layers of history should provide a dramatic backdrop for modern art. Another 3 museums should be opening towards the end of 2011 if all goes well dedicated to modern art and avante garde artist Tadeusz Kantor and the Czartoryski Museum, home to Da Vinci's Madonna with Ermine, should be reopening too, but archeologist have apparently found something cool during renos so it might delay it.

what's a museum opening without tragically intense artsy types in matching colours

You can almost feel the city breathing on a day like this...

What would Poland be without its monuments

Lots of interesting things in the courtyards behind the pretty street faces...

I got some winter pics that I shot last February. Krakow is the best city I ever lived in and I hope to get back there soon.
