You're right Jenny. This is the heart of Poland. Old capital if the country, and the Wawel castle had seen a lot of glory and tragedy. Krakow was never destroyed, so everything you see its original (XI century to begin with). And Sukiennice was the medieval mall, full of goodies, from food to cloth).Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
2 hours' drive from Krakow to Zakopane - the winter capital of Poland. A lot of snow, highlander architecture, and when you go to a restaurant, you can see highlanders in their costumes and playing their characteristic music.
@@JacobandJennyTravelyou have direct trains from Kraków to Malbork every 2h. And close to Malbork is Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia - so called Tricity. Each city has different history and vibe: Gdańsk is the meadevial harbour and trade center, Sopot the sea resort and Gdynia is only 100 years old and is full of good architecture from 1920's.
Poland has less humidity than Portugal, so even - 10C can be very pleasant. X The park surrounding old town is know as Planty. It's like a ring around the old town
It's quite amusing that you're so excited about the snow when it's barely there in comparison to what it would be midwinter. Have a best time in Kraków and Zakopane! 😊
Krakow is just stunning isn’t it. I find it addictive. Went once and have been 5 times since. Poland is full of great amazing cities. Wroclaw is just as beautiful as krakow. Go up the penitents bridge. Also Gdansk is very good and a trip to sopot on the Baltic Sea
That’s fun you’ve been to Krakow so many times! When we plan another trip to Poland we’ll have to check out more cities. Thanks for the recommendation!
Hi there. Now in old capital of Poland. Glowny - main. Yes, Krakow wasn't destroyed. Germans had they base in Krakow. Apart from that this settlement has very good place for it. Something like fengshui. So might be that helps this town/city to exist. This long building in main square, Sukiennice were built for trading. Shopping centre of olden days ;) As you going south, you heading higher above the level of the sea. Is going to be colder. I do recommend having soups. You won't put on waight and that warm you up. (obviously warm wine or tea with rum is also good 😀) Quite a few foreigners likes our soups. Very specific one, especially in Zakopane - kwasnica, based on sour cabbage. As you know sour - fermented with salt vegetables are good for our guts. Keep warm! Best regards 💞
The soups here have been soooo amazing and definitely help us warm up! We love it. Thank you so much for your comments and great information! Cheers friend ♥️
Hi there, if you have a time, visit Krynica Zdrój - little, lovely town in mountains. Now is cozy because of snow and whole surroundings is beautiful, it's smaller than Zakopane but also nice. Greetings from Krynica!
That "little park" is called the Planty. It encircles all of Old Town. You feel about it like I do. Though you are in the heart of Old Town the Planty creates a place of peace and calm, being surrounded by nature. I am an American who has lived in this beautiful city for 10 1/2 years. Because the Nazis made Kraków their headquarters after invading the country, Kraków was preserved. That is why it feels so old and authentic, because it is! The streets and buildings just ooze with history. I am so in love with my city!🥰
You chose great destinations. Warszawa and Kraków are amaizing cities but are really different in vibe.... But Zakopane will be the best during Winter.
@@JacobandJennyTravel Try Zakopane in atumnor summer. High Tatra are one of the best mountains in Europe. But the best city in Poland with HUGE old town is Gdańsk.
If you plan to go even more south like to Zakopane, then you have to try Kwaśnica, its a sour soup made from cabbage and its traditional soup from Podhale
Welcome to my City, it's funny to watch you guys walking next to my flat :) If we are talking about the Jewish district - Kazimierz, it is normal that there are not too many people there. You'll find them in hundreds of restaurants in this district. Dont forget to catch a view from the end of Floriańska street.
I’m so happy you have snow. That was #1 on your list I think. 😊 Jacob it is evident you prepare in-depth for your travels. Very good job. At least it seems that way to this “mini traveler”. 😂❤
The market hall you were in is Sukiennice, one of the oldest market halls in Poland, dating back to 13th century :) Originally the goods that were traded there were mainly cloth (thus the name “sukno” means “cloth”) and salt from Wieliczka :)
This poet from the monument is a national Polish poet, one of our three greatest bards. To make it easier for you to understand his work, I will quote the beginning of his most famous poem: "Lithuania, my homeland, you are like health." :)))) Welcome to Poland, the last remnant of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, of which Krakow was the capital.
reaction for kiełbasa priceless, there are several types but "Kiełbasa Śląska" its the best, absolute top. 3$ for 1 kilo in cheap supermarket here, when i was in NYC they want in shop 11$ for 0.35 kg. First question at the border from customs officers in New York was ,did I bring any Kiełbasa ? :) :)
Guys, Thanks for visiting but let me be clear: Adam Mickiewicz is the biggest Polish writer. He is like Shakespeare for England. He is definitely worth to proper pronunciation his name. If you want to understand Poland better, go to your library, order his biggest work named "Sir Thaddeus", read it and go back here. Imagine me, standing in front of George Washington's statue and saying: This is..., well, some US politician I guess, and I don't know how I have to spell his name properly".
Lovely to see you having fun in my country. Any chance for the cities of Wrocław and Poznań being your stops along? Wrocław's Christmas Market is arguably considered the best in the entire country and St. Martin's croissants from Poznań are unique treats worth tasting :D
The most important things at the Christmas Fairs are: mulled wine, hot mead, grilled mountain cheese - Oscypek - with cranberries, roasted chestnuts. This park around the market square is called Planty Krakowskie. I hope you've been to the Underground Museum. There's a piece of history hidden there! And it was recently unearthed, because (if I remember correctly) in 2006
Fun fact: there is a tradition in Krakow for high school students to jump around or circle the statue of Adam Mickiewicz in the main square after studniówka, which is like our prom night for good luck on the final exams:))) Greetings from Kraków ♥
I lOVE your Christmas/winter videos!!!! What a beautiful way to start my annual vacation: lying in bed and bingeing on your last 9 videos....just saying; we had 10 days of extrene heatwave, and 2morrow starts the next extreme heatwave! So wishing i was there with you in the snow!!!! Last few weeks was HECTIC at work, so THESE videos of especially your Christmas videos with snow was SOOOO relaxing, gonna sleep well tonight!!!!!! Kust gonna dream of snow and christmas there! Keep filming snow snow snow and christmas!!!
Jenny and Jacob, you are very natural down-to-earth young couple. It was really fun watching your video. It seems you had a good time in Krakow, didn't you?
Poland was a mess during WW2, loads of buildings were damaged and later renovated, but not nearly to the extent of Warsaw, which was practically down to the ground and had to be rebuilt from scratch after 1945. If you travel a bit around Poland - there are hundreds of bigger and smaller cities and towns that have lots of buildings dating back to middle ages.
P.S. When you mentioned love for castles - I had to add one more thing - visiting Malbork castle is a must have for any castle lover - it is a biggest castle in the world and it is located in Poland :). Next to Malbork the Wawel castle in Krakow is little :D. Just be prepared - you need at least 3 hours for a full trip of Malbork castle museum.
This restaurant was much better then the one in Warsaw! I was worried for a moment you will not find decent place and have proper Polish food. I love watching someone so excited to be cold XD
@@JacobandJennyTravel Just remember that it's not bacon in the American sense. In Poland, it is smoked pork belly - the side part of a pig just under rips. And we don't cut it that thin. After smoking, it is not boiled, but cut and baked in a pot. Traditionally it looks like this: ua-cam.com/video/z6-Vs6D7NLE/v-deo.html
I'm an American that lives in Krakow and I gotta say as my fellow American expat friends and myself that have been here for years have noticed. You guys probably stuck out like a sore thumb with speaking so loud and doing the huge toothy smiles that say American tourists instantly lol. And to answer your questions Krakow received very little damage in the war so yes most of the buildings in the old town are original and up to a thousand years old for some of them. As someone who has lived in Poland for years and can speak an amount of Polish those tries at pronunciation made me cringe but it was a valiant effort 😅
@@user-sq2mn6ps9v I've been here for three years. It was a shock at first with family life of having to attend so many family parties. Plus bureaucracy of how everything requires paperwork that was delivered by carrier pigeons and signed by the prime minister himself 🤣. But you get used to it over time. My favourite culture shock was work culture. At first I worked for my American job remotely that I just took with me. Once I had to leave that I got a job here at a Polish company and was guaranteed 26 paid vacation days plus separate paid sick time. Not to mention the company parties and being treated like a human being. I just remember my American job made me pass out a few times from exhaustion and now here with a polish job I feel completely happy.
The truth is that we hadn't snow in Cracow for last 7 years, so You had a luck this year. My daughter was born at 2015 and she first time saw snow in the Cracow at January last year
Od początku entuzjazm wobec mojego komentarza uważałem za podejrzany. Teraz mam pewność. Przykro mi ! Przegapiliscie dzisiaj okazję - kręcenie teledysku z drużyną piłki ręcznej Industria Kielce - kilkukrotnym finalistą Ligi Mistrzów . Wasza strata.
Guys, I love your positive energy soo much !!! Because you love snow so much, you must visit Zakopane. You will be delighted with this place 🏔️❄️❤️😍 Zakopane is also a place where you can eat the best grilled cheese (oscypek) 🤤 Cudownych chwil spędzonych w Polsce 🇵🇱 Enjoy 😃
Adam Mickiewicz to jeden z wieszczów- największych pieców Romantyzmu. Slowacki Juliusz i Zygmunt Krasiński to pozostali dwaj...masz w Krakowie Aleję Trzech Wieszczów czyli mała obwodnicę....
The largest and most beautiful Christmas market in Poland is in Wrocław. And you should try other traditional Polish dishes: kaszanka, flaki, tatar, czerwony barszcz, zupa ogórkowa.
Kraków wasn't levelled like Warsaw, thanks God. I'm glad you guys enjoy Poland so much. It would be a shame if you missed out on the salt mines. Go visit at least one of them.
It's very nice to watch your reports from Krakow 😊...really....I am touched by your enthusiasm. Big props for the sour soup - "żurek". This soup is not only tasty, but also healthy (of course, when prepared properly). Krakow was not destroyed during 2WW unlike Warsaw, so what you see in Krakow is authentic old buildings. This shop in the middle of the market square is called "Sukiennice", it is one of the oldest supermarkets in Europe (the world?). Your must visit the Wieliczka, old salt mine, which has been operating CONTINUOUSLY (!!!) for over 700 years. It is on the UNESCO list of world cultural virginities. ....And the concentration camp in Auschwitz (Oświęcim). It's not a fancy & light experience, but it's a must. After seeing this, many things regarding 2WW , Nazism, etc. are seen in a different light. ....and Zakopane... well. The mountains are beautiful, but the city....mmmm...less than average. Expensive, lots of tourists and a lot of kitsch. City Wrocław - I recommend it! definitely. I wish you many nice moments and discoveries in Poland 😊😊😊 PS. Among the dishes, try dumplings - pierogi. Necessarily. PS 2. Sorry for my English.
Zaraz, chwila. Czy mi się to przyśniło czy kiedyś wchodziło się na kościół Marciacki, żeby oglądać widoki? Może to był sen, ale pamiętam mgliście ustępowanie miejsca temu kolesiowi z trąbką, żeby mógł przejść do następnego okna...
ale po co? ⚠️Akademia Muzyczna ulica Mikołajska - wejście od Św Tomasza. Winda - 6 piętro Resto bistro. ⚠️Najpiękniejszy widok z tarasu na Centrum jak i z drugiej strony , czubki drzew na plantach. Film Vinci tam kręcony z tego tarasu.
2:08 The letter Ł is NOT an L. It's spelled like native English spell the 'Wh' in Whiskey, try to remember Whiskey without iskey = Ł. The easy thing about Polish is, that every letter is always spelled the exact same way. There are no silent letters & once you learned all the sounds the additional letters make, you can correctly read & spell polish for example ó is spelled like an u.
Hey Jacob and Jenny...what was the name of the little bistro that you went to in this video? I spend a lot of time in Krakow and would appreciate it if when you go to eateries you mention both the name of the restaurant and the cost of your meal-that would help a lot! Thanks
1200’s woah that’s some bad chronology right there. Yes, there’s old buildings, but not that old. You might find a few stones in the Churches of St Adalbert & St Andrew, or in Wawel Castle, but they’ve all had their interiors & exteriors, as well as their structures modified and built upon many times.
Jenny, you're the biggest snow fan I've ever seen 😅 The soup you ate is called żurek and it's made of soured rye flour. It can be served in bread. Yes, inside a loaf of bread. This version is even more delicious! Have you ever heard of such a sport as ski jumping? It is a very popular in Poland. While in Zakopane, you can try to see the ski jumping hills. Maybe you'll come across a training session :) This is how it looks like in Zakopane during World Cup competition - ua-cam.com/video/qja6FahJL0g/v-deo.html
Those steps were so narrow going up! Reminds me of the steps going up to the Blarney Stone in Ireland! lol I def need to get back to Poland someday, I was only there 1.5 days so didn't have much time to explore!

Thank you for a wonderful video, good emotions and promotion of the city where I was born. All the best for you
Guys, I strongly suggest you visiting Wieliczka Salt Mine, which is not far away from Cracow, to the South. Glad you're enjoying Poland, have fun :)
Yes we have heard it’s amazing! If we don’t get there this trip, we will definitely be back! Thank you so much for the recommendation :)

@@JacobandJennyTravel - and make sure you DO get some skiing (snowboard) lessons! Unless you're familiar with skiing already. Great fun 😍😎
And from Zakopane is that Chelsea what you try call oscypek. In Zakopane is everywere!

That makes sense!! It has been cold but not too bad! Thanks for the information friend :)
Planty are ring around town because were build in place of medieval town walls during grand modernisation of Krakow in XIXth century.
So glad you went to that museum to learn more of the past of Krakow. It is just a beautiful city with so much history.
Yes definitely!! 🙌🏼 thanks for watching friends!
Wawel the castle is so big because Kraków was second Polish capital in the past. Warsaw is 3th Polish capital.
That is good to know! Thank you for the information friend :)
It's quite amusing that you're so excited about the snow when it's barely there in comparison to what it would be midwinter.

Plus bureaucracy of how everything requires paperwork that was delivered by carrier pigeons and signed by the prime minister himself 🤣. But you get used to it over time. My favourite culture shock was work culture. At first I worked for my American job remotely that I just took with me. Once I had to leave that I got a job here at a Polish company and was guaranteed 26 paid vacation days plus separate paid sick time. Not to mention the company parties and being treated like a human being. I just remember my American job made me pass out a few times from exhaustion and now here with a polish job I feel completely happy.
That is good to know! Hope you’re enjoying your time in Poland! It is an amazing place :)
ill be here late next week, freezing here in the UK so i should be prepared for the cold in Poland😬
Hahaha yes!! Enjoy your trip ❄️🇵🇱
The truth is that we hadn't snow in Cracow for last 7 years, so You had a luck this year. My daughter was born at 2015 and she first time saw snow in the Cracow at January last year
Wow that is crazy!! We brought the snow haha ❄️ I hope your daughter enjoyed her first snow and much as we enjoy it!! Thanks for watching friend :)
5:08 amazing echo !
It is 🙌🏼🇵🇱
Od początku entuzjazm wobec mojego komentarza uważałem za podejrzany. Teraz mam pewność. Przykro mi ! Przegapiliscie dzisiaj okazję - kręcenie teledysku z drużyną piłki ręcznej Industria Kielce - kilkukrotnym finalistą Ligi Mistrzów . Wasza strata.
Jak w pokerze , mówię sprawdzam .
What a bummer! Thanks for your comment!
Yes, you will love Zakopane 😍💗🥰
It is so incredible! We are having an amazing time ❄️
Have Fun and Enjoy it 💗
Guys, I love your positive energy soo much !!! Because you love snow so much, you must visit Zakopane. You will be delighted with this place 🏔️❄️❤️😍 Zakopane is also a place where you can eat the best grilled cheese (oscypek) 🤤 Cudownych chwil spędzonych w Polsce 🇵🇱 Enjoy 😃
Thank you so much friend!! We are actually in Zakopane right now and absolutely loving it! Cheers 🍻❄️
I just see a proposal for a new episode from Zakopane on your channel :) I can't wait to see your impressions from this place 😀
@dawid3047 the video is posted now❄️ we hope you enjoy it so much🇵🇱
I like snowy
We do too ♥️☺️
Hello guys! Come to us to Poznan! ❤
Hi friend! We definitely will someday 🙌🏼🇵🇱
Adam Mickiewicz to jeden z wieszczów- największych pieców Romantyzmu. Slowacki Juliusz i Zygmunt Krasiński to pozostali dwaj...masz w Krakowie Aleję Trzech Wieszczów czyli mała obwodnicę....
Thanks so much for the information :)
Thank for Your content
We are so glad you’re enjoying it :)
if you’re ever in Germany go to Lüneburg and climb the water tower you’d love it and it’s quaint and historic
We will add that to our list!! Thanks for the recommendation :)
The largest and most beautiful Christmas market in Poland is in Wrocław.
And you should try other traditional Polish dishes: kaszanka, flaki, tatar, czerwony barszcz, zupa ogórkowa.
We definitely need to go to Wrocław someday!! It sounds amazing! Thank you for the recommendations :)
The market building is called sukiennice
Im sure no English speaker ever called it that😂 its called cloth hall in English
Thanks so much for the information :)
Nice Video :)
Thank you so much :)
Kraków wasn't levelled like Warsaw, thanks God. I'm glad you guys enjoy Poland so much. It would be a shame if you missed out on the salt mines. Go visit at least one of them.
We are so happy for that too! Thank you so much for the recommendation :) we have heard the salt mine is amazing!
At 8.04 reminds me of this one time at band camp
Hahaha! Thanks for watching :)
It's very nice to watch your reports from Krakow 😊...really....I am touched by your enthusiasm. Big props for the sour soup - "żurek". This soup is not only tasty, but also healthy (of course, when prepared properly). Krakow was not destroyed during 2WW unlike Warsaw, so what you see in Krakow is authentic old buildings.
This shop in the middle of the market square is called "Sukiennice", it is one of the oldest supermarkets in Europe (the world?). Your
must visit the Wieliczka, old salt mine, which has been operating CONTINUOUSLY (!!!) for over 700 years. It is on the UNESCO list of world cultural virginities.
....And the concentration camp in Auschwitz (Oświęcim). It's not a fancy & light experience, but it's a must. After seeing this, many things regarding 2WW , Nazism, etc. are seen in a different light.
....and Zakopane... well. The mountains are beautiful, but the city....mmmm...less than average. Expensive, lots of tourists and a lot of kitsch.
City Wrocław - I recommend it! definitely.
I wish you many nice moments and discoveries in Poland 😊😊😊
PS. Among the dishes, try dumplings - pierogi. Necessarily.
PS 2. Sorry for my English.
Wow this is all such amazing information! Thank you so much for writing it all out for us. Your English is amazing! 🙌🏼 cheers friend!!
Wrocław is the best!
We definitely need to go there 🎄🇵🇱
you need to visit 4 Mounts in Kraków , Zakrzówek some places with nice view
That is great to know!! Thanks for the recommendation :)
Rynek Główny - Main Square :)
It is beautiful 🇵🇱😍
Zaraz, chwila. Czy mi się to przyśniło czy kiedyś wchodziło się na kościół Marciacki, żeby oglądać widoki? Może to był sen, ale pamiętam mgliście ustępowanie miejsca temu kolesiowi z trąbką, żeby mógł przejść do następnego okna...
ale po co?
⚠️Akademia Muzyczna ulica Mikołajska - wejście od Św Tomasza. Winda - 6 piętro Resto bistro. ⚠️Najpiękniejszy widok z tarasu na Centrum jak i z drugiej strony , czubki drzew na plantach. Film Vinci tam kręcony z tego tarasu.
Hahah no that was not us! Thank you for watching :)
Super mega ultra❤❤❤
Cheers friend ♥️🇵🇱
2:08 The letter Ł is NOT an L.
It's spelled like native English spell the 'Wh' in Whiskey, try to remember Whiskey without iskey = Ł.
The easy thing about Polish is, that every letter is always spelled the exact same way.
There are no silent letters & once you learned all the sounds the additional letters make,
you can correctly read & spell polish for example ó is spelled like an u.
That is great information! Thank you for sharing :)
You should ask someone to pronounce name of this poet on statue Adam Mickiewicz - it's something more or less close to: Adam Meetskeyeveetch ;)
That is good to know!! Thanks for watching :)
The cute restaurant, was it called Polska Restaurant, Beera Meiselsa 22 street?
Yes!! We absolutely loved it!
Czy Leonardo da Vinci czyli Dama z łasiczką obejrzane? Wystawa Wawel zaginiony zaliczona?
I am not sure! Thank you for watching!
Hey Jacob and Jenny...what was the name of the little bistro that you went to in this video? I spend a lot of time in Krakow and would appreciate it if when you go to eateries you mention both the name of the restaurant and the cost of your meal-that would help a lot! Thanks
Hi friend!! I’m so sorry I don’t remember but we will definitely keep that in mind for the future. Thanks so much for watching :)
1200’s woah that’s some bad chronology right there. Yes, there’s old buildings, but not that old. You might find a few stones in the Churches of St Adalbert & St Andrew, or in Wawel Castle, but they’ve all had their interiors & exteriors, as well as their structures modified and built upon many times.
That is good to know! Thanks for the information :)
Great video,
Is it better to fly from the USA to Krakow or Warsaw to start your trip, and end it in either City?
Cheers
Thank you so much! There seemed to be more international flights to Warsaw so we flew into there :)
Hmmm.. dziś jadłem zurek i pierogi 😊
cóż za niezwykłe przeżycie. Wyjątkowe. Napisz o tym książkę.
@@rozgniatacz_mend ta wiedza nie była dla twojej głowy napisana
How delicious!! Thanks for watching friend :)
Going to Warsaw and Krakow next week. Did you get the train tickets the same day at the train station?
We got our tickets on an app called PKP Intercity an hour before we got to the train station but there were ticket kiosks at the station
Thank you so much@@JacobandJennyTravel
... Wrocław...Toruń... Gdańsk 💪👍
They all sound amazing 🇵🇱
Make a snowman !!!!
We definitely will soon ❄️🙌🏼
Jenny, you're the biggest snow fan I've ever seen 😅
The soup you ate is called żurek and it's made of soured rye flour. It can be served in bread. Yes, inside a loaf of bread. This version is even more delicious!
Have you ever heard of such a sport as ski jumping? It is a very popular in Poland. While in Zakopane, you can try to see the ski jumping hills. Maybe you'll come across a training session :)
This is how it looks like in Zakopane during World Cup competition - ua-cam.com/video/qja6FahJL0g/v-deo.html
Hahahaha I do love snow a lot ❄️😂 the soup was so delicious. That is good to know! We will look it up. Thanks for the information :)
Hi there. I would recommend you visit Lublin. You will be impress. 😊
Hi!! Thank you so much for your recommendation! We will look into it :)
Najładniejszy Jarmark jest we Wrocławiu !!!!!!
We definitely need to go there someday soon ❄️🎄
The Royal Capital City of Kraków - City retains the title of capital. Poznań has a similar name - The Capital City of Poznań.
That is good to know! Thanks friend!
We don't eat any type of dumplings with cream :) Regards :)
That is good to know! Thanks for watching :)
I feel like that museum was closed and they accidentally sold you tickets 😅
Hahaha!!😂 there was a few other people in there so I’m not sure! That would be hilarious though lol!!
Hello ;)
Hi friend :)
Winter capital in Poland Zakopane city
We can’t wait to be there ❄️
Those steps were so narrow going up! Reminds me of the steps going up to the Blarney Stone in Ireland! lol I def need to get back to Poland someday, I was only there 1.5 days so didn't have much time to explore!
Ooo we will have to do that someday too! And prepare for steps 😂 you should definitely visit Poland again, it’s so magical at Christmas time 🎄
