Here's Part 2 in which I show some of the main sights to see in Krakow: th-cam.com/video/PTRKrvhIaa0/w-d-xo.html
There are lots of comments about the population of Krakow being wrong. I quoted the metro area population, which is 1.7 million:
Population (31 December 2019)
• City 779,115 Increase (2nd)[1]
• Density 2,359/km2 (6,110/sq mi)
• Metro 1,725,894

I spent a week in Krakow 4 years ago. What a beautiful city it is. The people are very friendly, add to that good food , cheap beer , history and you have just the perfect place in the world.
Krakow is really beautiful city, very clean, people are nice and the food is tasty. Thak you for sharing your tour.
One thing that I found amazing is that all traffic stops for pedestrians. I was on a very busy street at rush hour cars packed and moving fast. I couldn’t seem to be able to get across. An elderly lady next to me just walked into traffic. All cars in all directions stopped, no honking, no impatient drivers, so I walked right behind her and realized that every person especially the elderly are valued and respected in Poland.
I noticed that, they're very good about stopping for pedestrians.
I Believe it's their strong catholic faith and strong traditional family values. Which is one of my personal reasons why I'd like to visit there.
I’m sure you have noticed how clean Krakow is….no fingerprints on bus windows, store fronts and not a piece of paper on the street. This is found throughout all of Poland. The Polish people are very proud of their country. You will see graffiti in some older poorer areas but the majority of Poland is pretty much pristine. In 5 months driving, traveling, and living throughout Poland I never saw one homeless person. A family oriented culture means the families take care of family. They also have good family services. This was my experience.
My father told me when I was about 12 years old, worrying about my chubby self, said. “I have traveled around the world and the most beautiful women in the world are from Poland.” Well I knew that was me being 2nd generation American but very much Polish too. My preteen self esteem rose high that day to today at 73 years old. 🙂
Your dad was quite wise and correct, it seems!
💃
Lucky you, I live in Poland and see lot of dirt and homeless people, i guess it depends on the pojnt of view and kur experience so would be really scared to see the place you are from ehh
@@szyszak9 I was wrong to say there were no homeless in Poland. I just didn’t see any as I drove all over the country. Obviously there are people suffering from poverty and other afflictions everywhere and in Poland as well. I just didn’t see the kind of conditions as found in cities like Los Angeles in the United States. Watch any video about Venice Beach CA. Once a beautiful place now the home of the tossed aside people. Whether mental health, addiction, or lost jobs and desperation, thousands find themselves sleeping in cars, parks, streets and beaches here. There is a culture in this country of not caring for the less fortunate or those mentally ill. We have lots of opportunity as well. I am going back to Poland next summer and will be mindful of your comments. It is a beautiful country.
@@kaczmogal my comment sounds a bit rude so apologies, will do some research about Venice Beach and LA in general :) all the best :)
It’s so clean, so civilized, beautiful city
Polish are the friendliest Europeans. I'm Asian American and have many Polish and Polish American friends from childhood in Chicago.
I have been there on july 17 for second time to this amazing city with friendly people.love from greece.
It’s one of those places that I like to go on a weekend trip. Usually the itinerary that a lot of people do is going to the old city of Krakow, the salt mines and Auschwitz
Krakow is a gem! Fantastic city, safe, good food and inexpensive compared to most of Europe. You need to also visit Wroclaw, Gdansk, Poznan and Lodz.
Łódź is shit
Also, Malbork, which has the largest castle in Europe. 🏰
Their 2 main beers are fantash and polish food is underrated..wholesome healthy and cheap..whole family loved our Krakow trip.
I like how you try to include regular residential neighborhoods in your videos.
Krakow is definitely a Beautiful city..Can't wait to see more..🌹
I knew you would love Krakow. I totally agree. One of my absolute favourite cities in Europe. But as always, like you said, so hard to compare. Old town and Kazimierz part of town. So nice. I will do the salt mine next time i visit Krakow.
I'm heading to Krakow soon! good to see this before I go
Had the best food ever in Krakow!
So excited to learn more about Poland. Thank you
Love Krakow! It was so cheap and really liked the food
Oh, and one more thing: One of the best drama schools in Poland is not in Łódź, (Said like this: Woodzh) which is Poland's Hollywood, but is in Kraków, in fact.
Akademia Sztuk Teatralnych w Krakowie, it is called, AST for short.
Note that in Polish all words can (and do!) change their endings depending on what case they're in, what they modify, if they are masc., fem., or neutral gender, and also they are singular or plural, which explains why there are least 17 different ways of writing the word for the number two, in Polish..
In English there is only one, way to write "two", and that is two.
No joke, Polish is one of this world's most difficult languages. 😱
English - 1. two
There are 17 different ways to say "two" in Polish.
Polish - 1. dwa
2. dwie
3. dwoje
4. dwóch (or dwu)
5. dwaj
6. dwiema
7. dwom (or dwóm)
8. dwoma
9. dwojga
10. dwojgu
11. dwojgiem
12. dwójka
13. dwójki
14. dwójkę
15. dwójką
16. dwójce
17. dwójko
I can honestly recommend to you Gdańsk at the baltic coast in 3city with Sopot and Gdynia, very underrated city.
I enjoy this so much! My parents both are from Poland and lived through the war along with my grandparents! They had to flee from their homes to live. I have never been to visit but I will in the near future! Did you enjoy the food? Thank s so much for sharing this wonderful tour and I look forward to the other videos as well. Have a great day.😊🇨🇦
Yep, delicious.
I invite You to Poland and not only to Kraków come and see more cities people greetings Piotr from Poland
@@piotrchomik514 thank you!😊. I plan to go one day for sure! My mother lived in Grodowiec. Have a wonderful day!😊
I'd say Poland is definitely cheaper than many European countries in terms of living costs because they use zloty currency that is cheaper than Euros. Before Slovakia adopted Euro as its currency they were cheaper country than Poland, I heard many Poles were going to Slovakia to buy cheap stuffs. Now it's the other way around because Slovakia adopted Euro currency. And their salaries changed only a little - not as much as prices. I hope Poland does not adopt Euro as its currency in the near future so that they can remain as lower cost destination of Europe.
There is no sane explanation for Poland to became the member of EUROZONE ... so they are bombing bias in TV that "we should be" and this is fortunately not enough for winning votes of the majority of people in Poland.
Well, if you compare Poland to most Western European Countries and Scandinavia of course it is cheaper, always been in the last decades. But if you compare to countries like Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania and probably also some of the Balkan countries Poland might be slightly more expensive, although perhaps only by a small margin.
I'm a big fan of your videos. Finally Poland 😊 Hope you enjoy it 😊👍
We are so thankful to you for uploading such amazing video, Not only stunning but also gorgeous
One of my favorite cities in Europe
13:58 & 14:12 . What’s chaotic about traffic without traffic lights ? , i saw pedestrian drivers and transit operators, being polite and courteous, waiting and giving way to each other.
I love krakow! such a beautiful place with beautiful people!
respect you for getting on with it and travelling during this time
Seems like Krakow, Prague and Budapest are ideal for a triple-treat tour...Gabe, did you try a Milk Bar?...They have inexpensive food for a great value. 🤗
One of my fave countries and love Krakow. Actually love Poland. Can’t wait to travel again when we are allowed to leave our country.
Poland?! For real? It’s way over rated. Closed minded, racist, and dull.
@@jimjiminyjaroo300 it has been awhile since we were there and we found the peeps ok when there actually, every country is racist these days unfortunately, but got to be positive and remember that someone’s dull is another’s interesting.
@Fn n Russian troll
@@jimjiminyjaroo300 In what sense are they racists?
I don't know what country you are in, but Poland is one of only three countries in Europe safe to travel to.
Finally, a country I've been to before Gabriel!
Love that old bridge. Can't wait to see the main square. I've heard great things about Krakow.
Love this city, I was there in 2019 it's a city that has so much history and it's such cool city to be in. Try the Perogies you will love them!
@@89. just go away...for real
Beautiful city Gabriel, thank you for sharing! 😊❤ can't wait to see more!
Wow love Krakow. Stay in Kazimierz if you can.
Beautiful city. 👍
My favorite beer: Żywiec - And also a nice City in Poland👍
Kocham Kraków
Thanks for the great video🤝🤝
Amazing city! Great video!
I would totally pay Gabriel to take me on a tour of a city we both have never been to 👍🏽👍🏽
Eastern Europe, the only place here that still have sane food prices.
I remember when you could have a pizza or lunch for 4-5€ back in the late 90s/early 00s. This is Sweden BTW.
I first went in the mid 80's. There was only one restaurant in the main square. Beautiful city. Ended up marrying a Pole... If only Stockholm had Polish prices !
HK...FYI-Poles are offended when people refer to Poland as being Eastern Europe. They say it is Central Europe. Just thought this would interest you
“Back in thr 90s”. - Well, exactly. 25-30 years ago
I middle landed one day in Poland 1988 with LOT. Incredible cheap. Changed 10usd and couldn't spend it the whole day including taxi. Even a pair of western jeans could bring you a long way, lol.
Loved it G!
yay so excited for a polish vlog!!
Nice video Gabe. I imagine your going to the Tatra mountains.
1:55 they look like showtime dancers from NYC subway.
Were there no bombings in the Ghetto area of Krakow? I went to Krakow like 3 years ago and I did a walking tour, but I'm only remembering bits and pieces.. there's a bit of a difference between the main side of Krakow and then the Ghetto.. While in Poland though, try Pierogi, my favorite Polish dish.. especially if they serve it with sour cream. yum!
I live just in the front of the market you are showing, I wish we could meet :) following you for a long time
You must go to the market early. Everyone shops for fresh food early before work. Late in the day is family time.
Amazing Krakow !
Don't miss Zakopane, Gabriel. It is only 2 hours coach drive from Krakow.
We were in Krakow 3 years ago beautiful city
Learnt many things about Poland !
I was waiting for your first Poland video!
Fan bloddy tastic, What a city! look forward to the salt mine video, Stay safe mate.
Poland is amazing. Wouldn't mind living there.

I was in Krakow in 2019, had a great time there.
I love that you love Krakow...
Funnily, I decided to visit Krakow last week after your post on Instagram, and just returned from there to see this video being dropped !
Cool.
KRAKOW IS OUR FAVORITE CITY IN EUROPE! You are going to LOVE the Salt Mine tour! You should also go to Auschwitz!!!!! Our hearts are in Krakow cannot wait to return! Thank you for taking us along! ~Cara 😊
I'm Polish. Great video
A new type of intro? Accelerated speed, more content and with regional music? I like it!

Wonderful video as always ! Waiting for the next one ! Thank you for taking us all over the world and sharing with us all these beautiful places ! Stay healthy and keep on traveling !
While there, take the train to Wieliczka salt mine, it's not far and amazing to visit.
Anther great video by you Gabriel. Handle for inspiring other travels vloggers such as myself
So glad to see you in my city, this place can be so surprising even after couple years of living there. Old town is such a small part of it.
Konrad-Kocham Krakow!!! I absolutely love Krakow, BUT not in the winter months. Not because of the cold, but due to the horrid air polution from the burning of coal in near-by villages. How do you cope with that?
@@rebeccar4312 Kocham bardzo!
@@rebeccar4312 Things are getting better with strict law, most places around the city and city itself has already a ban for every kind of chimneys etc. Last winter was really good, most of the time in "green". By the 2022?? whole region will have that ban.
Amazing coverage, waiting to see more interesting history and other contents from Poland.
Spectacular city.Great vlog once again.
Beautiful Kraków! 🇵🇱😍
Oh my! I just missed you. I left krakow to Warsaw last Sunday. If you come to Warsaw, let us meet!
My videos are way behind, I left Poland about a week ago. Have a great time.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos where r u now?🙀
@@Chasworth instagram.com/p/CTNyEcNs_Nw/
Gabriel, what an amazing video! I have just returned from Krakow and the experience was exactly as you describe... amazing!!!
back to the future!!!
@@jaguarunleashed4935 indeed!! 😂😂😂
I have a lot of respect for Poland because they said they aren't going to die the way Germany wants us to we are going to go in the way we want!!
Nice video, informational and informative. Tks Gabriel 👍😎
In the opening scene you were sat outside the hotel I stayed in.
Fantastic place loved my time there.
I've been waiting for this one! Great work.
Krawov is one off my favorit towns in Europé to Gabriel and Polish food is good to! 👍😀❤️
Interesting History lesson.
Wow! Just booked a trip to go there this weekend and then this video pops up. Must be fate 😎
Very interesting city.
I love Krakow, Nice video Gabriel.
Thanks.
I've been to Warsaw, Krakow and Wroclaw very recently. I must have missed you in Krakow only by a week. Krakow was just stunning. I can recommend visiting Schindler's Factory by the way.
All of the three cities were well worth it.
@@89. You mean in Krakow? Or Poland? In Krakow I spent a long time exploring the old city. The churches are amazing, esecially from the inside. I've also been inside parts of the castle and in the cathedral. This all took me so long that I didn't have time left to visit Ausschwitz. I had like two and a half days there.
I liked Poland so much that I am sure I will return. Such nice and relaxed people.
I appreciate the fact that Gabriel said that Poland was invaded by Germans and not by Nazis. This seemingly small difference is, in reality, very important. The Wehrmacht was a military force of German state, not the Nazi party. For comparison, no one says ‘Republican invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan’ during the George W. Bush presidency or a ‘Democrat invasion of Vietnam’ during the JFK’s presidency. Saying that it was Germans who invaded Poland is not only historically accurate, but clearly places the responsibility for the barbaric act of war. Today, accusations of being a Nazi are common and are used as a political weapon. As a consequence, nazism is no longer clearly associated with Germany. It’s not a joke, but there are some Germans who claim that Germany was the first country invaded by Nazis. What they are trying to accomplish is to take responsibility off Germany for the military aggression, destruction and horrible war crimes it caused, resulting in the death of 50 million people.
Polish are really racist and anti Semitic. They don’t care about their lost Jewish population, all they worry about is the threat of Jewish descendants reclaiming their lost rightful property.
He also said 'Soviet' or 'communist' instead of 'Russian'.
The Jews who died were Polish citizens. If they had no heirs, their estates passed into the property of the state under the laws that apply throughout the civilized world, including the United States and Israel.
@@Zeebee1971 sorry but when Jews were gassed or murdered in other ways, their homes and valuables were mostly stolen by Nazis. Years later when a stolen piece of art was known to belong to a murdered Jew, family had a chance to claim it for example. But generally speaking, real estate was not given to any heir who survived and was out of Poland.
@@annethallI'm sorry, but it's not about the heirs' property. Polish citizens of other religions were also killed during the war. Their property, if there were no heirs, legally became the property of the state treasury. There is no legal or moral basis for Poland to pay Jewish organizations in the United States for the destruction and death of citizens caused by the Germans.
4:22 literally standing outside my ex's place haha.. oh man, I left Poland when I was a teenager and now watching these when I'm 30 gives me chills.
Nice job! Enjoyed the location information. Putting Krakow on our list to visit. 🙏😎
Love from india .. always waiting to see ur video
True
Great job as usual gabe! Keep up the excellent work!
I hope you get to some of the restaurants/streets off the main square, particularly in the Jewish Quarter of Kazimierz. Love the main square, but it’s pretty standard fare. Thanks for sharing Krakow…I absolutely adore the city and it’s people.
Very nice area have fun!
Hi Gabriel, A very surprising city with heavy western influence notably vegan shops, and a very good understanding and command of the English language probably like most places influenced by American movies usually demonstrated in the culture especially among the younger generation.
Gabriel Witamy w Polsce! I'm glad you found time to visit Krakow. you must go to Warsaw Szczesliwego bobytu w naszym kraju.
As always nice video
Krakow is so incredible, because there were no bombs falling from the sky in WW2. So all the old stuff is still there. Few European cities in central Europe can say the same about the destruction of the old stuff in their centres.
@@oriafohmatthew9376 What a coincidence! I wanted to recommend someone who could help you with your brain problems.
Welcome to my city. The weather is unfortunately terrible. Czesc!
Haven't you been longer in Schengen Area than 90 days by now? Truly amazing city, I have been there twice!
Smiley, friendly waitress: Yeah! We have many difficult words like... Gabriel: "Thank you, you're dismissed" LMAO
That's not even what happened
@@user-ml4do4xw1d joke only bro
@@kayflip2233 ok but it's a dumb joke because she didn't even say that
@@user-ml4do4xw1d yes she did. It was Gabe's part I exaggerated. I know Gabe's not trying to be rude, which is where the humor lies because it's ironic, he was actually trying to make friendly banter. nevermind. others found it funny, you're the awkward guy at the party that doesn't catch the jokes and gets offended by taking everything literally all the time.
@@kayflip2233 she didn't say "like" at the end. she just said "we have many difficult words". which makes your entire comment dumb. which is what i'm trying to say here.
Looks like an amazing city
I grew up in Warsaw. So this must me my favourite by all means. But interesting, talking to some foreigner in the hostels of Warsaw I remember the typical "Cracov is incredible but one week is enougj...in Warsaw you spend one month and is is not enough!"
Cool city! Honestly looks better than Warsaw.
I've seen you've been to Malaga, Spain since...now that one is absolutely fantastic! Can't wait
I know right. I visited Warsaw and now kicking myself for not picking Krakow. There will be next time...
@@markus711 Yep, Gdansk in the north is also beautiful
