Warsaw

[MCFC Wirral]

Considering three nights in early May whilst in between jobs. Nice break? Always fancied Poland and I can fly there from John Lennon Airport in Victimpool.

I’ve been a few times. Really good City for a break. Reasonable prices as well for food and drink and you can get decent hotels for good prices as well

Krakow is a great city break too, for so many reasons

Fantastic City. Wasn’t a huge fan initially but it’s grown on me. Less touristy and much less pissed up Brits than Krakow.

Weather should be nice in may so it’s a great city to just wander around in. I can highly recommend the Uprising Museum, Nowy Swiat and Stare Miasto. There’s a statue to Kaz Deyna at the legia stadium, for some City content.

One thing to bear in mind when there. In 1945 Warszawa didn’t exist. 85-99% of the buildings were destroyed and all the Old Town was reconstructed from scratch. Some of the surviving buildings from that era still have the bullet holes.

As ironic as this sounds, I didn’t enjoy Amsterdam as it was too touristy. I barely met a Dutch person but there were plenty of Brits.

I never saw any pissed-up Brits in Krakow and I've been three times

I’ve been scores of times. Every time, pished up Brits. Another city ruined by EasyJet/Ryanair

I know a lad who raves about Poland. He is a FIAT nutter and a lot of FIAT's were made there - Cinquicento's Siecentos and so on and he has owned loads of them. The Covid years dampened down his travels but he used to go annually to a FIAT owners rally held in various towns in Poland. He said they are all smashing folk - mad as badgers and for a car meeting there was an awful lot of vodka consumed. I always thought he would end up there full time in the end.

Am going to Wroclaw and Krakow in a fortnight.
Hoping to get to a football match.
Do you have any tips on what to do and see ?
Advice on bars, cafes, restaurants etc. would also be greatly received.
Thanks a lot...

They're great those old fiats. No chance I'd risk having one here tho. The roads are something else.

Yes please, thanks mate.
Am there for 3 nights in mid May.
Hope to see the local football team.

If you go to a place called Groclin/Grodzisk you stay in rooms at the football ground.
A bit different that.

It’s relatively easy to get tickets for Polish fitba but you will need your passport when buying tickets and entering ground.

Think you can do the concentration camps from Krakow , apparently it gets quite busy at weekends with stag dos ,we found Wroclaw much better not as touristy ,would try a milk bar which is like really cheap polish canteen everything is fresh and ridiculously cheap probabyv£5 for a good meal,both cities have them .in Wroclaw there are bars around the 3 ? Squares probably £2 a pint ,Wroclaw is famous for its dwarf statues there's hundreds of them .

I’ll be flying with WizzAir if I do book it. They took me to Budapest a few years back.
