10 Things to do in Gdańsk, Poland Travel Guide script:
After visiting the Basilica, we walked over to the main pedestrian street in Gdansk: Dluga, also known as Long Street. Unlike most Polish cities, Gdansk doesn’t have a main square, but this stretch of road acts as the equivalent with lots of vendors and performers along the way.
On the west end of Dluga (Dooga) we came across the Amber Museum, which sounded a little unusual, so we bought tickets and went up. Here we learned the history of Amber trade in the Baltic, and we also discovered that the tower that now houses the museum, was once a prison and torture chamber.
Not done with museums just yet, our next stop was the Historical Museum of the City of Gdansk. I think we spent more time staring at the ornate doorways, ceilings and staircases, than we did at the exhibit itself!
Here, we also saw the Medieval Crane, which was first mentioned in texts in 1367, and was at one point the biggest working crane in the world.
Next, it was all aboard the SS Sołdek, a Polish coal and ore freighter which is now a ship-museum.
And since we’re on the topic of food, we need to show you a milk bar we really enjoyed.
On our last day in Gdansk, we walked over to the European Solidarity Centre, which is about a 15-20 minute walk from the Old Town. The museum tells the story of Solidarity, a Polish trade union and civil resistance movement, founded in 1980 at the Lenin Shipyard. This was the first union not controlled by the communist party, and it’s a fascinating museum to learn a bit more about the history.
And that’s a wrap for our Gdansk travel guide. We hope you guys enjoyed this video and that it gave you a few ideas of things to do in Gdansk on you visit. You know the drill, if you have any other tips or suggestions to share with travellers, feel free to pop those in the comments section below. Happy travels and until next time!

20 Things to do in Kraków, Poland Travel Guide video transcript:
We kicked off this trip to Poland with a visit to Krakow, a city people have been telling us to visit for years and now we know why. Krakow in the summertime was wonderful! We spent our time enjoying castle views from the river side, exploring neighbourhoods covered in street art, eating some of the best pierogie of our lives, and also discovering what we think may be the best ice cream. The following is our travel guide to some of the best things to do in Krakow!
Wawel Castle is Krakow's crowning jewel, and for centuries it was the residence of the kings of Poland. You can see a mix of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque architecture all in one place.
While in the city, we also had to walk the Royal Route, which was once the historic coronation path of Polish kings.
After visiting the basilica, we spent a bit of time walking the Main Square, which just so happens to be Europe's largest medieval town square.
And that’s it for our visit to Krakow! We hope this video gave you a few ideas of things to do around the city. If you have any other places to add to this list or any tips for fellow travellers visiting Krakow feel free to share those.

Malbork Castle Tour in Poland | Visiting the Largest Castle in the World by Land Area
Join us as we visit Malbork Castle touring the inside, exterior and interior of the largest castle in the world by land area as a day trip from Gdansk, Poland. Also known as the Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork (Polish: zamek w Malborku; German: Ordensburg Marienburg) built by the Teutonic Knights (religious order of crusaders) in the 13th century and is a classic example of a Medieval Fortress.
As you can imagine the grounds of the castle are massive and budgeting a full day if you're coming from Gdansk is highly recommended. Aside from visiting the castle we also enjoyed eating traditional Polish food including pierogi, kielbasa and bigos along with Polish beer, ice cream and cake to round out the day. Overall, it was a great day of sightseeing and feasting and visiting Malbork Castle is something we highly recommend.

Malbork Castle Tour in Poland | Visiting the Largest Castle in the World by Land Area travel video transcript:
Alright guys, so we are back at the train station for another day trip and today we are heading to Malbork (Marienburg) to visit this is the largest castle by land area in Europe. No, in the world. Oh, in the world. Wow. It is the biggest castle in the world. That is nuts. It is going to be impressive and yeah it should be a really fun day trip. We just bought our tickets and now we are waiting for the train to pull into the platform. Let's do this.
Malbork Castle (zamek w Malborku - Ordensburg Marienburg) dates back to the 13th century, and it is a medieval brick castle constructed in the Gothic style. It was originally built by the Teutonic Knights, a German Roman Catholic religious order of crusaders, and expanded a few times as the number of knights grew. The Castle has an area of 143,591 square meters, making it the biggest in the world by land area.
Alright, so we have made it to Malbork (Marienburg) and now we're on our way to the castle. We ended up taking the Inter City train which is a little bit faster. It got us there in 30 minutes. It is a little bit more expensive. We paid 55 złoty per person but that was the next one that was leaving otherwise we would have had to wait for like an hour and a half.
So something to keep in mind but I think we are taking the cheaper train on the way back and that is only 11 złoty. But anyway that is enough information. Now let's make our way over to the castle.
Alright, so we just got our tickets. It was 39.50 zł each and doesn't it already look massive this castle?
Like just walking to the entrance. I think I remember reading online that like to do the audio guide or to properly explore it it can take up to 3 hours. It is massive. Woah! I'm glad we gave ourselves a lot of time because we're not going back until about 4pm so we have like 5 hours. But that also includes lunch.
We randomly walked up to this restaurant because it looked kind of like Medieval.
So we got like these roasted potatoes. We got the traditional sausage Kielbasa, Bigos and Pierogi. which kind of looks like sauerkraut with like bits of meat and some carrot.
While you’re in Malbork Castle (zamek w Malborku - Ordensburg Marienburg), you can visit the Castle Museum, which is home to 40,000 plus artefacts. You can see religious sculptures, old weapons and military equipment, coin collections, amber wares, landscape and portrait paintings, and a whole lot more.
One of our favourite spots in the castle was the Southern Terrace, complete with a rose garden and sun chairs for lounging around.
we're catching the train back to Gdansk. We had a really fun day visiting the castle. It was massive. Like seriously you kind of need a full day there. And the food was great so yeah you can turn it into a full day experience. Highly recommend it.

Wroclaw Christmas Market:
Tickets for Panorama Racławicka:
I love art and culture and, especially when I travel, it's something I always want to see and soak up. I found lots of it in Wroclaw, Poland and discovered it was even named the European Capital of Culture in 2016. It's easy to see why when you're walking around because there's beauty, art, and history all around you. Ground zero for any trip to Wroclaw is the Rynek or Market Square in the centre of town. The square dates back to the thirteenth century and is lined with colourful buildings. In the Rynek, and all around the city, you'll notice little dwarves no more than a foot high. There are more than four hundred of them around Wroclaw and they represent more than just charming public art. Dwarves were the symbol of the Orange Alternative, an anti-Soviet movement that began in Wroclaw to protest Poland's Communist regime. In protest, Communist propaganda was defaced with images of dwarves to show how absurd it all was and to encourage people not to be afraid. Now you'll see dwarves all over the city in various forms including sculptures and other street art like graffiti.
One of my favourite art works in Wroclaw is an installation called Transition found on two opposing street corners. It symbolizes the period of martial law in Poland from 1981 to 1983. You see seven human figures descending into the sidewalk and disappearing which represents how martial law drove people underground in fear. On the other side of the street, seven figures reemerge which symbolizes how people came out of hiding when that oppressive period ended in 1983. It really made an impression on me.
The crown jewel of Wroclaw's art scene is the Panorama Racławicka, a 360 degree painting that depicts a battle for Polish independence in 1794. It's 15 metres high and 114 metres around which really brings the history to life in a way only art can.
If you're in the mood for love then head to Tumski Bridge also known as Lovers Bridge. It's a popular spot for couples who leave a lock to symbolize their love and throw the key in the river. The bridge leads to Cathedral Island which is the oldest part of Wroclaw and a very pretty area to walk around. Keep an eye out for the city's lamplighter - yes, an actual lamplighter! - who walks the cobblestone streets each day at dusk to light the gas lanterns. I've never seen that before and it made me feel like I was travelling back in time. Absolutely charming.
The Market Hall is nearby Cathedral Island and there you can get some food or souvenirs or shop with locals for fresh groceries. My favourite part there are the giant concrete arches that feel very imposing. Overall I loved visiting Wroclaw and feel like it might be the most artistic city in Poland.

Jacków, Jackowo, Polish Village, Avondale, różnie jest nazywana najsłynniejsza, kultowa już, polska dzielnica w Chicago. Jak wyglądała ona w czasach świetności i jak wygląda dziś?
Jeszcze 25 lat temu tętniąca życiem dzielnica, polskie restauracje, sklepy, usługi, wszystko. Nie trzeba było uczyć się języka angielskiego, bo wszystko można było załatwić tu po polsku. Dzielnica ta była pierwszym przystankiem Polaków przybywających do Chicago po lepsze życie.
Dziś? Hmmm.. pierwsze nasze wrażenie to jakbyśmy przenieśli się w czasie jakieś 20 lat wstecz. Większość lokali albo opuszczonych, albo tak mocno przykurzonych, że nie wiadomo czy właściciel tu jeszcze zagląda. Witryny rodem z późnego PRL-u. Nazwy lokali/firm również. Kilka sklepów spożywczych i dosłownie kilka restauracji faktycznie wciąż działa i mają się nieźle.
Spacerując jednak wzdłuż słynnej i głównej ulicy dzielnicy – Milwaukee – spotykamy więcej Meksykanów i Portorykańczyków niż Polaków. Ale kilku Polaków też spotkaliśmy – po pierwsze panie w sklepie spożywczym Alex Superdeli (swoją drogą pozdrawiamy serdecznie przemiłe panie!), po drugie dwóch starszych panów, którzy mieszkają tu od ponad 20 lat i poopowiadali nam trochę więcej o tym jak dzielnica wyglądała kiedyś a czym jest dzisiaj i dlaczego stało się tak jak się stało.

Best Hidden Places In Prague | Travel Guide
Prague is definitely NOT the place to avoid crowds of tourists. This jaw-droppingly beautiful city is popular for very good reason, but this video shows you more hidden places that are worth visiting.
Don't get me wrong, though, there are plenty of 'touristy' spots in Prague that deserve your time - people flock to them because they're unique! I have to mention some of my top picks. The Old Town Square is luscious and photogenic from every conceivable angle. The nearby astronomical clock has been ticking since 1410 and every hour on the hour you can see a show where the clock comes to life. It doesn't just measure the hours of the day either - there's a calendar that counts the days, months, and year as well as a zodiac ring that tracks the sun and moon in the sky. You really can't miss it. I'm also a big fan of the gigantic metronome on the opposite side of the river. It's 23 metres tall and sits atop a hill formerly occupied by a statue of Stalin. The relentless strokes of the metronome, and its significant location in the city, serve as a good reminder of the change that time can bring. Within view of the Prague metronome is the Charles Bridge, one of the most visited spots in the city. It's classic Prague and has been bridging the river since construction on it ended in 1402. At over 500 metres long, it's a wonderful walk that feels like a stroll through history - just beware of the pickpockets! Prague Castle is the most iconic spot in the city and is visible from miles around as it sits atop a hill. It's the largest ancient castle in the world and you can walk around the expansive grounds without paying an entry ticket. Budget bonus! It also affords a great view of the Old Town on the other side of the river.
Now for my favourite spots that are more hidden where you're less likely to run into hoards of tourists. Inside the front entrance of the Prague Municipal Library is an installation called Idiom. It's a tunnel made of 8000 books that's over 5 metres high and 2 metres wide. There are mirrors on each end which make the tunnel appear infinite when you peak inside. For anyone who loves books, this is a must see. Prague is full of salutes to Franz Kafka who was born there. The best is a moving sculpture of Kafka's head made up of 42 rotating layers. It turns round and round, briefly revealing the head's true shape before going to pieces again. It's a fitting tribute to Kafka's inner torment and very memorable. Another moving sculpture is outside the Franz Kafka Museum in a cute courtyard. It's a bronze fountain of two men who swivel around and pee to 'write out' Czech literary quotes. You can text a number and the fountain will 'write' your message too. It's controversial because the fountain basin is in the shape of the Czech Republic so the men are relieving themselves on the country itself. This definitely isn't the only mocking art in Prague - far from it! Hidden inside the passageway of the Lucerna Palace is a scultpure hanging from the ceiling. A man proudly rides an upside down dead horse. It's provocative and mocks a statue of King Wenceslas in nearby Wenceslas Square. One of the hardest gems to spot hangs above a busy Prague street. It's a sculpture of Sigmund Freud hanging from a pole and it looks very lifelike. I stared up at it at night and no one else took notice. Prague is full of tiny laneways but there's one that's so small it has its own traffic light. You press a button and wait for the light to change from red to green before you head up or down the skinny, one-way walking street. It's got to be one of Prague's cheapest thrills. Not too far away in a nondescript street is the so-called Lennon Wall which has been a place for Beatles-inspired graffiti since the first image of John Lennon was painted after his death in 1980. Though Police tried to whitewash it, people kept coming back and now it's a place for messages of love and peace. If you're looking for a cool and unique Prague souvenir then head to Botas 66 for a pair of Czech shoes. Botas was a sports shoe brand in Czechoslovakia that made an iconic sneaker called the Botas Classic in 1966 - hence the name of the store. The shoes got a reboot in 2008 by two designers who wanted to make the shoes over into stylish streetwear. Now Botas shoes are super popular and come in all sorts of colours and designs. It's a unique piece of history to take home on your feet.
