Slowly Kraków is beginning to fill up with tourists. It seems to currently be a favoured destination for middle-aged English couples, although many seemed shocked by Kraków prices at today's exchange rates - one pound buys 4.72 zlotys* (and much less at the Kantor - bureau de change). A year ago, it was 5.84 - nearly one quarter more!
Right: The Mały Rynek (little market place). Below: Corner of Mały Rynek, ul. Stolarska and ul. Sienna (pron. She-EN-na, and not as per the Italian town). Midday winter sun catching the pastels nicely.
Left: The Ratusz (city hall) tower in the Rynek Główny (main market square). Behind it are the Sukiennice (cloth halls)* It would get down to 4.04 to the pound in August.
You're in Krakow? We probably rubbed shoulders without realizing it… or not.
