Kraków
After arriving off a night flight, we checked into our hotel (the cool boutique Hotel Indigo), and while I could have easily napped, my husband decided it was time to head out and check things out. We set off on foot, and walked along a long (Planty Park) parkway until we came to a restaurant/bar. He had his typical local beer, and I decided to try the local hot chocolate. I had no idea what was in store for me, but I quickly learned that they don’t make hot chocolate in Poland the way they do in the states. This was the most delectable, decadent version of hot chocolate I have ever eaten. Think more center-of-a-lava-cake than drinkable chocolate infused milk. Delish!!
We spent the afternoon exploring this beautiful, culturally-rich city.
In the Old Town square, be sure to visit the underground ancient city ruins, the 13th century St. Mary’s Basilica, Wawel Castle, and walk the Royal Road, containing some of the most important historical landmarks in Krakow.
