1. Pierogis – No trip to Poland is complete without trying these dumpling-like mounds filled with goodness (meat, cheeses, etc). Fried, sautéed, or poached, pierogis are just scrumptious. Link – http://www.pierogi.com

2. Zubrowka Bison Vodka – Mixed with apple juice, a glass of this vodka, and you’ll find yourself unraveling faster than you’d anticipated. Link - http://www.bisonbrandvodka.net/

3. Ruczaj Hotel – This cool, happening, and affordable hotel is about 4km outside of Old town, but offers nice meals and a cozy atmosphere. Link - http://www.krakow-hotel.info/hotel_ruczaj.html

4. Club Fusion – It’s chic, it’s European, it’s underground, and it’s absolutely cool. Link - http://www.cracow-life.com/krakow/where_to_drink/pubs_cafes_details/226-Club_Fusion

5. City of Krakow – This is one unique city to watch out for. It may very well become the next Prague in terms of Eastern European tourism. Link - http://www.krakow.pl/en/
