    There shouldn't be any Ukrainian scammers, they should be in Poland to work not to sponge off tourists, if they don't want to contribute to the Polish economy, they should go home and help their country in some way. I made my feelings very clear towards one of them mooching around with his little clip board. Krakow is my favourite city and I hate to see Lunkheads on the fiddle, ignore them and you will be fine, thanks Col for your knowledge of this beautiful city. Hope people listen to your advice and have a smashing time 👍

    It is nice to see Krakow again. Where the Hard Rock cafe is I remember a Soviet bookshop in the mid 1980's. For good value for money, there are one or two mar mleczny around the town and they tend to be a little cheaper. in the main square, there is an Irish theme bar and beer costs around 25 zloties for a liter glass. I tended to go to the Galeria Krakowska, go upstairs, and go to Carrefour where you can buy your own beer and wine at competitive prices. in the evening if it is cold and windy, treat yourself to a cheap cinema ticket, there is a really nice old-fashioned cinema on the corner of the market square called Pod Barami. For around four pounds you can watch a film be it a Polish film or a foreign film with subtitles. If you go to Auschwitz or the salt mine museum, it is well worth while trying to barter over the prices.

      @travelwithcol4625  9 місяців тому

      The Best Irish pub is on Jana st, it’s called Pod Papugami. Yes Carrefour is a Gr8 Supermarket 👍my point is that Inflation in Krakow is High.. Yes the Milk Bars are good value, Good Tip 👍 🙏 and Please Subscribe @ youtube.com/@travelwithcol4625 for more of my Guided Tours from Poland

      @travelwithcol4625  8 місяців тому +1

      Prices are expensive in Krakow compared to other Polish cities, after Covid the business owners met and colluded to put the prices high to milk more money out of the tourists. I was at a restaurant in the Zablicie a suburb a few days ago and it was 30 zloty (£6) a pint at Salute. Bars in krakow are £4-6 a pint depending on which bar you go and to buy wine at a bar is very expensive £24-40 a bottle! Great city but with prices similar to the UK now. Alcohol is very cheap at the supermarkets here and cigarettes are silly cheap too

    I disagree with you on some points here.
    First the Ukrainian scammers at the Square are the ones with papers and a website. The only legitimate ones that I am aware of are those as part of the twice a day protest (12 to 14 and 20 to 21). They only have one box to collect from directly in front of them. Often scammers wearing Ukrainian flags will be walking around the protest attempting to intercept people from donating to the legitimate protesters.
    A suggestion for those going to the pole dancing clubs. You are safe with no problems as long as you decide before walking in how much you will spend and NEVER going to the backroom for the private dances. Get a beer or two and enjoy the beautiful girls dance and then leave. If you do more than that, that is when bad things may happen.
    Good advice in general though.

      As I said in the Tour some of the Ukranians asking for Money are Legit and some are Scammers, it’s hit and miss, I live here and people have told me that some of the charities they work for are corrupt and the money is doing to Ukranian businessmen and the sales Reps asking for money are earning decent Commission which is why they are so hard sell, they have approached me many times with powerful and upsetting stories but now there are hundreds of them here and it’s too much, people told me that they had enough of being harassed. I hope more than anything that Ukraine can defend their country and keep their homeland after this illegal invasion, what happened to their country is Evil
      I know for a Fact that the Strip Clubs are a Scam, I know the what happens and how they do it because I have lived here in Krakow for 10 Years now, I will make a Guided Tour soon @ Travel with Col to explain how they operate the Scam Ken. Every day victims were coming to my shop and telling me that they were scammed for big $$ and they explained what happened, they had memory loss, they were Conned / Misled / cheated and some had injuries afterwards

      Krakow is Cheap for hotels! Flights to and from Krakow are Cheap too if you use the Budget Airlines. November, January, February and March is the Cheapest time to be here because of the Low Season Promos! Wine is expensive here but Vodka & Polish Beer is Cheap here. If you need more information then I organise Day Trips to Auschwitz, the Salt Mines, Zakopane and we do Guided Sightseeing City Tours by Electric Car.. you are welcome to contact me on +48 732 914 971 by WhatsApp and Please Subscribe @ youtube.com/@travelwithcol4625 for more of my Tours from Poland

You are right that if you are a Local you will know some Cheaper Places to eat and drink and Public Transportation is the Cheapest in EU here in Poland. Where are you from Nik ? Are you Polish ?

      @@destinationunknown4959 Ok. The shop workers at the market at the cloth hall charge mega high prices so I guess you could consider it a scam.. the bars and restaurants are expensive now because of high inflation here but it’s the Greedy Owners of the bars and restaurants who are responsible. When you have a service charge of 10-15% added on top of your bill then that’s the owners choice not the staff. Well it depends who you meet I also met nice Polish people although in business many Polish people cheated me here because I work in the Tourism industry.
