Just got to Kraków today. Walked to the Castle Square full of active ancient churches with Mass, Veneration, etc. But the most incredible was happening into Bazylika Mariacka w Krakówie with its ancient pipe organ played live by virtuoso Sarah Kim! The basilica floor shook like thunder on the low notes and was celestial on the high notes of Bach and Brahms. Amazing and free! Wow!
Wow incredible!
Thanks for sharing!

Love Naomis head scarf, so pretty
The thing about Wawel Cathedral, that makes it unique, is that it consists of visibly separate pieces. Each of these segments was made at a different time across centuries and consequently each represents a different architectural period. It started as a modest Roman-style chapel, then grew to it's Gothic height, gained renaissance domes, a baroque/romantic tower and portico. Some of the mansonry was done in the XIX century during Austrian administration. You can learn almost the entire history of European architecture just in that one place. That's because Poles were not as concerned with the purity of their monuments as, say Italians. Many Polish architects were studying in Italy, where they were taught the most recent trends and of course every ruler/bishop wanted to overshadow his precedessor with a flashier effect :)
The sheep was filled with sulfur and fed it to the dragon, dragon to soothe the pain in his stomach and throat, drank water until it exploded. That is why you saw the sheep...
The dragon was an issue way before 13th century, guys. The legend places it way around VIII/IX century, when Cracow was a very young settlement, cause the dragon was around when the town was ruled by duke Krak, it's first ruler.
XIII century is when Cracow was established as a proper city. It is called a location priviledge, and Cracow got it's own in 1257 by Bolesław Wstydliwy, polish duke, who ruled Lower Poland at that time.
Sorry for nitpicking, but I can't help it ;p
You are right, the legend of a Kraków dragon is much older, but much older then VIII century AD. Year 1257 only marks redesigning of the city according to the Magdeburg Law. Many historical events took place in Kraków during centuries preceding XIII century and Kraków was paralel capital of Poland along with Gniezno since the rule of king Bolesław Ist 992-1025. In 1936 archeologists discovered in Mogiła-Kraków a mint shop dated Ist century BC i.e.. meaning they made coins in Kraków 2100 years ago. The discovered gold coins showed a sea vessel on the reverse.
During X th century AD, prior to year 966 Kraków was a site of bishops Prokulf and Prokop, cultivating Christianity of Slavic rite, accepted by pope Hadrian IInd in 855 AD.-------------------------------------------------------
-Pierwsza mennica odkryta w Polsce była znacznie starsza niż obecna nazwa naszego kraju. Jednak znajdowała się na terenie dzisiejszego Krakowa, czyli w historycznej stolicy Polaków. Wybijane przez nią pieniądze służyły władcom, kupcom, rzemieślnikom i rolnikom na ponad tysiąc lat przed Mieszkiem I. Pierwszy tego typu pieniądz zidentyfikowano jednak w zbiorach Bibliothèque Nationale w Paryżu. Francuscy naukowcy przypisali tę monetę celtyckiemu plemieniu Menapiów. Stąd została nazwana staterem celtyckim. Po dokładnych badaniach okazało się, że jest… krakowskim.
Stulecie musiało minąć od znalezienia tej pierwszej monety, by czeski naukowiec Karel Castelin zauważył, że przypomina inne z tego samego czasu, ale odnajdywane w jego kraju. Nadal jednak wiązał ten typ pieniądza z Celtami. Jak podaje Marcin Rudnicki w pracy „Nummi lugiorum - statery typu krakowskiego”, Castelin wskazał okolice Krakowa jako miejsce pochodzenia kilku monet z grupy odnajdowanych w innych częściach Europy. Równocześnie Czech wskazał na zachodnią Małopolskę, jako miejsce działania mennicy w I w. p.n.e.. Tezę tę potwierdziły badania archeologiczne. Dowody znaleziono w wykopaliskach w Krakowie-Mogile. Odkopano tam dwa fragmenty glinianej formy do odlewania monet. Stwierdzono, że miejscowi wytwarzali je z elektronu, czyli ze stopu złota i srebra. Inny znawca starych monet, Zenon Woźniak zaproponował, by powiązać znaleziska foremek z Krakowa-Mogiły z działalnością warsztatu, w którym produkowano omawiane statery i osadzić jego funkcjonowanie na drugą połowę I w. p.n.e.. Stater to nazwa starogreckiej monety, która rzekomo była wzorem dla innych tego typu pieniędzy w starożytności.
Statery krakowskie posiadają na rewersie przedstawienia przypominające statek. Biorąc pod uwagę zróżnicowanie stempli użytych do ich wybicia, naukowcy oszacowali wydajność krakowskiej mennicy na kilka tysięcy staterów. Do naszych czasów odnaleziono jednak zaledwie siedemnaście z potwierdzoną niewątpliwie autentycznością. Na przyczynę tak nikłych znalezisk numizmatycznych w naszym kraju zwrócili uwagę Małgorzata i Mirosław Andrałojciowie w swojej pracy o mennictwie na Kujawach. Zauważyli: “Kujawskie stanowiska archeologiczne są od lat na niewyobrażalną skalę, systematycznie ograbiane przez poszukiwaczy skarbów. Ci, jak lubią siebie nazywać, pasjonaci, zabierają nam nie tylko zabytki - element wspólnego dziedzictwa, ale i nieświadomie - i tego nie można im wybaczyć - kradną nam historię. Według wiarygodnych ustaleń liczba monet celtyckich znalezionych dotąd na Kujawach, łącznie z tymi, które zostały zrabowane, znacznie przekracza 100 egzemplarzy.”
You have to see „ Muzeum Czartoryskich „ there is Leonardo Da Vinci's "Lady with an Ermine" and a painting of the Rembrandt. the city Zakopane with a beautiful „sea eye”and a „black pond” is also great. greetings from Poland from Bytom. You make movies very nicely. 👍🇵🇱
Thank you Tomek! 🇵🇱🙏🏻
Oh, no. You missed zapiekanka galore at a different square, Plac Nowy.
Yes, both Krakow and also Wieliczka Salt Mines were inscribed on the first ever Unesco World Heritage list back in 1978 (the two destinations among the first 12 ever).
We will find the right square next time! Hahaha!
Wow amazing!
Thanks for watching Karo♥️🇵🇱
@@TwoMadExplorers the gelato looked delicious though!😊
"Little SMOK"😂 that was so cute 💙
Loved the video. Like that you not only go to the main attractions but to small food courts etc. Didn't notice until the end of the video what Naomi's sweatshirt said. Got a good laugh on that one. Thanks and keep sending your quality videos.
Thank you for your support Charlie!
Happy to have you here with us 🍻🇵🇱♥️
I'm from Poland and I tell You - Good Job thanks from Poland
Thanks for your support! We appreciate it! ♥️🇵🇱
I’m so happy ,that you enjoy my country,I hope you have save trip
Thank you Ela :)
We will be in Poland for 2-3 months

There is actually quite a lot exhibitions at the Wawel Hill.
In the Castle itself:
> Royal chambers tour (you can see the famous Arrases there)
> Treasury/Armoury tour
In the Cathedral:
> the whole interior
> the underground tombs
> Zygmunt Bell Tower
Separate ones:
> the Royal gardens
> "Lost Wawel" aka excavations of the first settlements and the first medieval castle
> Dragon's Den
> every single tower on the walls is also an exhibition I believe
There can be even more now but those are the ones I am aware of. A lot to explore.
It is truly incredible! We fell in love with Poland already!
Take a trip to Wieliczka Salt Mine...it's amazing
We have a video there on our channel :)

God bless Poland!!
We lived in Plac Wolnica for over a year and you showed our apartment a few times! You were so close to all the Zapiekanka (Plac Nowy) what a shame you missed them - great value for money.
We will be back!! thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
- Luke & Naomi
hi Guys for zapiekanka you have to go to Plac Nowy, not Plac Wolnica :) all the best
Ahhh!! PERFECT 👍🏼 thank you Piotrek! ♥️🇵🇱
But they do sell nice ice creams in Plac Wolnica! 🍦🍦
And the zapiekanka: go to Plac Nowy. Theres a round booth with windows and you get your zapiekanka there.
🙏☀️❤️
If you are still in Cracow, try to go up the Basilica tower to see the panorama of the city. Or up the Kościuszko Mound for the same reason. Great vlog! I'm going to follow your trip in Poland and I hope you'll come to Warsaw, too.
Thanks for the recommendations!
We went to Krakus mound just before we left Cracow!
We are in Zakopane now 😄
Yes we will be going to Warsaw as well!
Thanks for following along Iza 🇵🇱♥️🇵🇱
@@TwoMadExplorers Great place too. Try oscypki cheese and do some hiking in the Tatras or at least go to see some valleys. Enjoy.
For the famous zapiekanka sellers in Kazimierz you need to go to Plac Nowy not Plac Wolnica.
Great video. Krakow really is an amazing place!
Thanks for the tips!
@@TwoMadExplorers in the corner of Plac Nowy is a small Communist Era themed Vodka & Beer bar. It's really good value and they do some old school food including the best value steak tartare in Krakow. Give it a try, they have a great selection of flavoured vodkas.
Totally agree! Those Zapiakanki from Plac Nowy Rotunda are sooooo yummy, messy but yummy.
Next time in Kraków, try Good Lood Ice Cream. They are throughout the city. Or when in Old Town, try Tiffany Ice Cream. They have such unique and tasty flavors. Yum! You were so close to the best zapiekankas there in the Jewish Quarter at Plac Nowy. It is very popular at night, especially after having a few drinks at one of the many local pubs or restaurants.
Great to see another vlog from Poland you guys are awesome!
Thank you Michal!!!
I know you’ve already left Kraków, but the restaurant called Hamsa is really good. If you like Middle Eastern food, I highly recommend you check it out the next time you’re there.
wow! we will surely check it out soon!
One of the largest cities in Poland, it is known primarily for its grand historic architecture and cultural leadership; UNESCO designated its old town area a World Heritage site in 1978
Ahhhh have photos with that dragon 🐲
Sooooooooooooooo many photos from there. Love 😍 it
Nice Video !!
Glad you enjoyed it Peter!
In Krakow market i paid 25zl for one beer !!!
couple street away you could pay 3-5zl for one beer. !!!
I can't wait to arrive in Krakow again in a few weeks time. And I also love the club that Naomi is a member of, best club ever! 👍👍
Best club ever for sure 🇵🇱♥️
Hello Guys…I just sent you some raki & lemoni cake…😁…Only joking…I see the weather is beautiful and you are enjoying yourselves…Have a good one guys..
Cheers John 🍻♥️♥️ you too!
Great video
it's a pity you couldn't see Wawel inside
The Smok statue has been erected 50 years ago.
Krakòw is celebrating at night - the 4th of June .....huge Dragon parade on the river . You just seen part of tourist advertisment - a sheep and a dragon, our most loved & famous legend. Portrayed by that statue ...unfortunatly you placed dragons in Europe in 13 centuary ? and changed the sheep to a cow 😒.
It's not true you have to book a guide 2 weeks prior. My aunt is a guide there. There are many freelance guides there. As you walk up the stairs to main gate just ask. Its cheaper also and mostly better because gudes have to constantly learn. If you are there the lady around 55-60 with red hair is her :D She may ask if you want a guide. Just use her. She will tour you in english and polish.
Wow amazing thanks for the tips 🙏
@@TwoMadExplorers no problem. just found your channel and im impressed. In Morskie oko you could take a longer route. Left side of the lake guides you to another lake "Czarny Staw" and you can take a walk with chains and if you take right side you go up natural stairs to "valley of 5 joints" "Dolina Pięciu stawów" to go back to parking lot. Dont miss on this if you ever come back! Wish you great trip.
You are funny lovely people.Wish you nice weather.🤪🙂Naomi 👍
I'm trying the limoni cake at le bon right now and you guys are right...it's amazing..I normally go chocolate or baclava but this is another level
Awww amazing to hear Paul! Amazing cake 🍰
0:25 LOL
There's an exhibition of old weapons: swords, firearms, knights' armors, etc at Wawel Castle. You can see there absolutely fantastic pieces worthy of The Witcher or other fantasy hero, e.g. a combination of rapier and pistol, i.e. a shooting rapier. When I saw it, I was a little horrified. xD
Oh wow we will have to check that out! Thanks for commenting!
Zapiekanka corner is on Plac Nowy, not Wolnica. Actually, Plac Nowy would be a heart of Kazimierz; all best pubs and restaurants are nearby.
Thank you Artur 👍🏼🇵🇱♥️
We will go there soon I’m sure
Not only object from the UNESCO list, but Wawel is said also one of eight world's chakrams (energy places), seriously ;)
You have gained a new subscriber
Thank you!! :)
👍👍👍
A little hint, you can buy souvenirs and send them by post 📫
Very true! We unfortunately don’t have a home/apartment address since about 1.5 years and are traveling full time. You can’t really buy souvenirs from every single city/country and store them somewhere when we don’t even have one box of personal belongings stored 🙈
@@TwoMadExplorers If there is a problem with that, it shouldn't be, ask at the post office or one of your Polish friends for help. And you will have souvenirs at home for the price of one lunch.
zapiekanki -- no Plac Wolnica
zapiekanki -- Plac Nowy
Thank you 🙏🏻♥️🇵🇱
+1 for Plac Nowy Zapiakanki 😋😋😋😋
Guys , you choose wrong market square for Zapiekanki. Next time just ask random guy, where are the best zapiekanki and everyone show you where it is. Good luck!
Apparently that golden roof is worth 4,5mln euros in gold alone :)
Like you hoodie Naomi 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
You are awesome! It is interesting to watch and live these journeys with you. Tell us how did you meet? I can't find a partner to support me in my travels with me.
Visit Malbork...Greetings
Thanks so much for the recommendation! We'll put it on our list 😍

after all it is a Royal Castle

Did you hear about Wawel chakra. I have a video on this on my channel
💕👫🇪🇺
Are you guys filming yourselves rather than surroundings
Maybe you should look for a “walking tour” instead of a personal vlog if you want that 👍🏼
Hi. Is Naomi german?
Yes she is 👍
dlaczego nie ma tłumaczenia?!!
dostępne są polskie napisy
Did you see many Ukrainians there?
Yes a lot! Unfortunately
@@TwoMadExplorers Why unfortunately
@@skullmaster6888 because it’s unfortunate that Ukrainians have to leave their home country and run away.
So why do they have everything more expensive in the Jewish Quarter of Cracow than in the center of the city? After all it is still Poland not Israel.
There is so many vlogs praising Poland from last few years, I wonder is it real? I got some suspects that Polish Trump like goverment is paying for such propaganda. Tell me I am wrong :)
It is just a really great and welcoming country to tourists! The food, the people and the nature are beautiful.

Hi,
Nice to see You in Kraków.
I recommend short film about "smok wawelski" by Allegro : legendy polskie on YT
This is modern story of the legend😉
There You can find more films of legendy polskie
