Krakow

Once the hometown of Pope John Paul II, and southern Poland's biggest city.

Little Poland, Big Time: "We are entering the region of Malopolska (Little Poland), and its capital, Krakow. I have quickly fallen in love with this picturesque mediæval city, and I hope you will too. Indeed Krakow does not need to fear comparisons with major Eastern European highlights such as Prague or Budapest." Hajo describes the historic and cultural southern Polish city of Krakow.
The Pan and the Pope: "The title gives it away. Pope John Paul II, the city's most prominent son, and Pan Tadeusz, protagonist of Adam Mickiewicz's novel by the same title, are omnipresent in Krakow. You can hardly find a shop or café without the likeness of the pope, and Pan Tadeusz is not only available in handfuls of editions at everyone of the many bookstores, but is also the name of half a dozen of pubs. And indeed it is worth exploring Krakow's many Pans and Popes, whatever they may stand for - shops, restaurants, pubs and clubs." Hajo spends time shopping, dining and getting around in Krakow.
