The morning we had set aside to visit Krakow's downtown area, Viddy woke up with a migraine, so I went on my own.
The city is wonderful, even though it still carries a lot of wounds from the war. There are many poorly maintained buildings but, on the other hand, several are being renovated.
View of the city from the Krakus Mound.
The Kazimiers neighbourhood.
Detail of one of the bridges over the Vistula river that snakes through the city.
This is an example of the wounds left from the war I mentioned above.
Views, above and below, of the 18th century Church on the Rock.
They have a very modern transit system in the city, but fortunately still keep some of the old trams that run on a grassy track.
The inner city, instead of having a proper park in the middle, has this lovely boulevard that surrounds it almost completely.
The Cloth Hall houses one of the fanciest souvenir markets I have ever seen anywhere.
View of the St. Mary's Basilica through one of the entry gates into the old town. And a bit closer below.
