It is a city that dates back actually about 50,000 years if you include pre-Slavic history. However, the golden age was in the Middle Ages. The time of castles and knights and damsels. Therefore, if you have any romantic ideas, it is an excellent place for a date.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you are traveling with your boyfriend, husband, girlfriend or wife, Krak\u00f3w\u00a0is the place. It\u2019s wandering streets were almost designed for romantic walks, flowing like paths though the city rather than traditional linear grids.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Here are some romantic ideas to explore in magical Krak\u00f3w!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2012\/12\/8638-Krak\u00f3w_Poland_Europe_13.03.2012_3.jpg\" aria-label=\"8638 Krak\u00f3w Poland Europe 13.03.2012 3 300x193\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3973\"  alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2012\/12\/8638-Krak\u00f3w_Poland_Europe_13.03.2012_3-300x193.jpg\"><\/a>Take a date to a real castle. On the Wawel hill is an ancient castle. You could spend the whole day there exploring the Royal apartments and the cathedral. Stand on the top and you will see most of the valley.\u00a0You can explore the dragon\u2019s cave or sit in outdoor cafe\u2019s.\u00a0The Castle was the center of power for hundreds of years in Europe and the Polish sphere of influence extended from Russia to Western Europe. It was where the Polish kings were crowned and married. Today on any Saturday you will see beautiful Polish brides taking pictures there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Walk with your girlfriend\/boyfriend along Planty \u2013 the park around the old town is another romantic walk. Remember Krak\u00f3w\u00a0was a walled medieval city and in the walls and underground caverns and tunnels are more magic than any Harry Potter book. Although most of the city walls were taken down over the centuries there are still traces left. The walk around the city is actually a beautiful circular park, these walls and countless historic sites are park of the walk called the \u201croyal way\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Find a nice Polish girl in a cafe! If you are hip and cool, Kazimierz is the place to hang out if you want to escape the tourist scene. The Polish Jewish quarter was once an island but not part of the city as the river Vistula has changed course.\u00a0Polish Jewish population lived here for hundreds of year and developed and interesting culture. The traces of this culture can be seen everywhere and give the area a bohemian feel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The cafes in the old center of Krak\u00f3w\u00a0are frequented by the German and UK tourists. The pubs in Kazimierz are where the young Polish hipsters and Krakowians go. It is the Tribeca of Krak\u00f3w, artsy and trendy. The focal point nexus is or is the club Alchemista which is a club with no lights, only candles (that&#8217;s what I remember, unless something has changed)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Enchant a girl (or a boy) \u00a0long the river.\u00a0This is a walk for all four seasons!\u00a0Along the walkway are numerous views, floating coffee shops and even a beach as well as flowers, trees and benches and magnificent bridges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, the best spot to hang out is to simply sitting along the river\u2019s grassy slopes reading a book and watching the sun go down:)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Wis\u0142a River spins and weaves through the romantic city of Krak\u00f3w, separating it from the ancient fishing town and now district of Podg\u00f3rze.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The river actually flowed directly though the middle of\u00a0Krak\u00f3w\u00a0in the last century; however, clever Polish engineers shifted the course and flow of the Vistula to save the old town from potential flooding which happens every ten years. Next to Hala Targowa there is a bridge which crossed the river\u2019s old flow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Nature is always romantic as it is instinct. <strong>Las Wolski ( <\/strong>Wolski forest<strong>)<\/strong> is the large green area in Krak\u00f3w. In this forest you can find wild animals and even boars as well as a Zoo and historical monuments. There are endless paths to saunter along.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Deep in the forest the Kamedulk\u00f3w monetary are some holy shines and peaceful chapels. However, girls can visit only a few days a year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In a room if you whisper something on the other side of the room someone will hear you because of the dynamics of the way it was built. It has whispering walls which will take the expecting by surprise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Real love comes from God and spirit. A place to go on Sunday for Church for acceptance and unconditional love is the Dominican church-Although not romantic in the Cosmo or sex in the city meaning of romantic, it is in the Medieval sense. It is a church that dates back to the 12th century.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is an example of gothic architecture which is maintained and shines. It is a monastery from another time and place. The church has magnificent architecture and gothic spirals. If you want to look around, be aware that during mass times it is standing room only and out the door on a Sunda , go during an off hour.The Monks and priests in this community are legendary in Krak\u00f3w\u00a0for their wisdom and kindness as well as making you laugh.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">So try any of these places and let us know how you liked it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Do nast<\/strong><strong>\u0119pnego razu&#8230; <\/strong>(Till next time&#8230;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is no scecret that Krak\u00f3w\u00a0is a romantic gothic city.
