Eating Our Way Through Krakow, Poland, Krakow, Poland
We visited Krakow, Poland in April. We arrived on Monday evening and left on Thursday late afternoon which gave us plenty of time to try out many Polish delicacies. Krakow is a gorgeous town and we really enjoyed exploring it but we were also very satisfied with all our meals there. The meal prices are slightly lower than in Croatia and the portions are big. My husband was also very happy with different Polish beers (I don’t drink beer at all). We both drank some local vodka shots.
Pierogi -are a staple of Polish cuisine. They are filled dumplings with savoury (or even sweet) filling cooked in boiling water. My husband had Ruskie pierogi (potatoes with cream cheese) and I had duck & apple pierogi. On our last night in Krakow we shared as a dessert sweet cherry & mascarpone pierogi. Yummy!
Sour Rye soup - my husband ordered this but I had to try it too. It was very tasty and reminded me of some goulash not a soup since it was very thick. You can have it in a plate or in a bread.
Cabbage rolls with tomato sauce (Gołąbki z sosem pomidorowym) - this looked and tasted very much like Balkan sarma. I liked it a lot!
* We ate pierogi, sour rye soup and cabbage rolls in a lovely, colorful Polish restaurant in Old Town called Pierogarnia Krakowiacy on two occasions ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).

Insider Tips for Krakow, Poland
Touring Krakow with a Local

Krakow's Old Town
I arrived in Krakow from Prague via a seven-hour train ride. I followed the signage from the train station to Krakow’s Old Town which took me through the mall, up to an exit through a Christmas market, down into a tunnel beneath a street and then into a lovely park dusted in a light snow.
Exploring Kazimierz in Krakow
Most of the points of interest can be found in Kazimierz, the former Jewish quarter of Krakow. Since the area is pretty small, all of them are located within a few minutes walk from each other.
Best of Krakow in Three Days!
I call the post devoted to the best of Kraków in three days enjoyable and challenging. Indeed, although small in size (about 750,000 people live in Krakow), the Polish city offers so many things to see and do. Its small size makes it easy to visit: almost all the places I describe are within easy walking distance.
