I am flying from Prestwick Glasgow Easyjet hopefully. They fly direct to Krakow. Is the gig nearer too Krakow or Katowice?
Dumb question i know but some posts on here seem to be contradicting themselves.

i really want to work out travel arrangements from munich, before i buy a munich ticket.
Trains look like they run to early, flying is €700 which is crazy for a 1.5 hour flight.
any news on the bus front?

some polish fans will arrange a bus from munich to katowice. here you will find more information:

Could any of the guys from poland give me some information on hostels in cracow? me and mate will be there on the 12th and 13th i reckon...not that picky at all about where we stay as long as we have a room to put our stuff in...there seems to be a good few around from just looking at different hostel sites but any recomendations would be welcome.

cheers for this thread as well..its a great help!

Don't know a thing about Krakow hostels. I can show you something else instead: http://www.ocean650.com/gfx/bilb.jpg

super vedder, since I actually live in krakow I've never stayed at any of its hostels. there are soooo many of them though. when deciding you should focus on the location. here are some choices:
1) right in the centre - it looks really cool form the outside and has great reviews:
http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/poland/krakow/9330/
2) this one has good reviews as well, it's not so centrally-located though:
http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/poland/krakow/4513/
3) and this one is right next to the train station:
http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/poland/krakow/3693/

these are by no means my recommendations - I'm not saying they're better than the others or anything. it's just an idea. also check that site for other options. I think that you'll be fine, whatever you choose. everything is within walking distance here so that also makes it easier on travellers

you can always choose something and PM me (or post here) and I can tell you if I think it's a good choice or not (locationwise)

stone vedder

Thanks very much for that! thats brilliant...good to know everything is within walking distance! ill let you know when i pick one out...if everybody there is as friendly as you guys im sure we will all be fine anyway..thanks again

karola

oops, and it was s t o n e vedder not s u p e r vedder of course! sorry...
quite a bunch of vedders on this board, must be the whole family, for sure!

stone vedder

easy mistake to make! the more vedders in this world the better!

hi to you all!!
well there will be quite a lot of Italian fans invading Poland for this show

me, my girlfriend and other two members of Strangest Tribe's Board (Pearljamonline.it forum) will be part of this invasion

But since it's our first time in Poland we'd like to get some informations, the most important of all: where to stay?

We'll be in Krakow for two days, and we are looking for a nice hostel to stay in, any recommendetion??

Surfing thru hostelworld.com i've noticed a bunch of seemingly goood ones...any help would be very appreciated!!!


Ps: to polish fans, i'd really like to get one of your marvellous shirts, please get in touch

Karola listed some Krakow hostels yesterday, check earlier posts in this thread.

Sorry, we're out of them. But we might have something else this time, so look out.

I've changed my outbound flight, and I will now be flying out of Krakow at 7:30am, the morning after the show.

It's really not going to be worth paying for a night at a hostel since I'm barely there at all. Is the Krakow Glowny station a safe place for me to hang out for a few hours at while I waited for the train to the airport?

I've done a bit of research and I know the first shuttle train service starts at 4am. So there's a few hours I'm gonna be out there.

i actually think the train station building closes at night. either way, it's not a good idea to hang out there at night, unless you actually enjoy being surrounded by homeless people constatntly asking you to spare some change... generally speaking, train stations in poland are not the cleanest and welcoming places - they're safe (at least during the day) but thet just don't make for good hang out places.

so I guess it'd be better for you to take a taxi from the station to the airport and wait out there.

Thanks for that. So the airport doesn't close? Or is it just safer out there, even if it means sitting outside in the open? I've tried looking it up- no info about opening/closing hours on the websites.

So has anyone found a magical cheap way to get from Munich to POLAND??

I found a flight from Frankfurt to Katowice for some really cheap price but it'll leave me in Katowice at 16.55... there's no way I can chance being late!!

Cheapest I can fly there is €230, and only takes about 7 hours

Ah the sacrifices I make for the Germans and Polish!

Jammer4Pearl

I just want to scream hellooooo!!! This may be off topic, but could you tell me, where can I get 'YOU FORGOT POLAND' T-shirt (XXL and L) (I don't believe, but also if there was spare 10c tickets...), however, I'm not Polish (but my grandfather was ), we realy like to wear it as your neighbours . And also we would like to THANK to all Polish fans for their support of this show!!! See you there

Unfortunately we are out of them and there are no plans of producing any more. Sorry about that.

I still don't have the ticket, but I already scheduled my days off in June and I have plane tickets.
I can't wait until June!
