cheap flights to poland
April 26, 2008 at 1:11 pm (Poland, Tourism, flight)
Many things has been said and written about the advantages of cheap airlines. One thing worth mentioning though, is that there are certain disadvantages of cheap flights as well. On the minus side – you are more likely to be treated no better that just a number, one of many, many …. Especially Centralwings – cheap flights to Uk, Scotland, leads the way. Not only more that half of my journeys were re-scheduled without any possibility of having anything to say about that. They just call you, or even just write you an email saying simply that your flight schedule has been changed. Also they are really picky with the luggage. Most of all – after changing my departure time the wouldn’t take my calls. I had been trying for a week, every day, with no results whatsoever. The operator said that ‘the person on the other side has hanged up the phone’ … Really unprofessional.
I strongly recommend to choose another airlines.
best regards – this time from uk

Hallo again,
we all hope the spring will show up in Krakow really soon. But until now March has been rather unpleasant and not encouraging to do any tourism connected activities. It’s still cold and quite wet, the temperature around 0. So – if you come to Poland don’t forget your hat and hot jacket. Otherwise … well, you know, you’ll get a cold. Anyway – the spring is coming with such events as Krakow Fashion Awards 2008, The Wojciech Cejrowski Show or Romanian Culture Festival, all in April.

Well … simple as that – wear a hat and a scarf, don’t go out too often and take care of yourself. Winter can be tough in Poland, but fortunately there are some ideas … It’s always possible to go and have a portion of moulded wine in the Market Square. Straight from the barrel. Also – polish speciality is a hot beer with spices added. It’s tasty, spicy and really worming up. So – enjoy.

Poland – Tourism – Weather
October 6, 2007 at 6:23 pm (Krakow, Poland, Tourism, weather)
Poland – Tourism – Weather – well.. the best would be just to come here and see for your own. But, if you’re coming here and you’re in need for information on how to prepare yourself for polish weather in the winter tie – here it is. Dress warm – Decemer can be pretty cold, snowy and cold again. There are some warmer years but it’s better to not expect anything. On the other hand – we’re still far, far away from Moscow – so if you have read about guys freezing to death in Russia, vodka worming up contests – it’s not about Poland. So – to make it simple – warm winter coat, gloves, scarf and a hat would be recommendable if you’re coming to Poland.
