Plaza at Wawel Castle. In front is the royal cathedral. |
Mienta (Mint) restaurant where Brendan had pear and blue cheese perogies (I think that's totally gross, but it was definitely a contemporary spin on a classic Polish food). The wild mushroom soup was just like grandma used to make. Picking wild mushrooms is kind of a family secret thing in Poland. Families covet their mushroom picking spots. |
Inside the Wawel castle royal palace. |
Big recreational park along the Wisla river |
Interesting Graffiti, not sure I agree |
New Pedestrian Bridge crossing the Wisla river |
Kazimierz |
We grabbed a drink at this garden/rooftop bar that overlooked a jewish cemetary, nearby there were preserved parts of the Jewish ghetto, which reminded me of the WWII reminders that are all over Berlin, except unlike the many monuments in Berlin it was even more harrowing because of the dilapidated state it was in- burnt brick and broken windows, not a happy place. |
A drunk food circular building in the Kazimierz part of town which I would describe as the hipster part of town with lots of interesting bars and young people. |
Sukiennice- a Renaissance shopping mall where traditionally cloth was sold. |
Florian's Gate, Old Town. Notice the cobblestones and lack of cars! |
