    I have a good feeling about this show, I think it is going to be special.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for bars/restaurants? Cool things to eat?  I see others have mentioned visiting the salt mines and Auschwitz, in addition to that, any recommendations?
    I have Quebec 2016 vibes coming from this show with the way the venue and city look. Let Stone do the set!

    Here is my schedule that I have put together with times not being accurate just copied and pasted. Not sure about bars and restaurants yet.


    I'll save this for future reading, thanks!
    You can also add Oskar Schindler Museum to the list

    This reason alone makes me think I need more time in Krakow. Currently I have zero time as am planning to be in line all day...!!

  • Just received this from cd.cz which I am hoping is the official rail? According to this we will only be able to book the train 1 month in advance? I couldn’t find the 10.24 on the eshop, but it seemed to be on the timetable? If anyone knows more, please let me know

    Auschwitz advice please...

    I've got two entry passes for the morning, and they were free to order. I've confused myself now... what do the entry passes give me? Just entry into the place? 
    I fear I've made an error, because we need transport from our hotel so I'm guessing I needed to book guided tour?

    Hey, I'm looking to go to Auschwitz early on July 3rd, but it appears it's best to take a bus.  Can a local pleaes help?

    Would you book the lajkonik train ticket in advance or just buy at the station?

    Also, I believe the bus stop is 'Oświęcim Stanisławy Leszczyńskiej'.  Any idea how long afterward I should book the tour; taking into account, waling to the museum, and possible bus delay?

    Edit: never-mind..already booked.  I believe the stop is right next to the museum.

    Use that or download the app to your phone with the same name. Google maps does not have Krakow transit uploaded so it just shows walking paths instead. The tram takes you close to Tauron Arena.

    Hi everybody,

    Have you seen EV in London mentioning the Given To Live action in the UK?
    If not, you will have the second chance in a few days in Krakow.
    If yes – then let’s do it once again. Together....
    Do not miss it this time
    We are so happy to have Given To Live supporting one of our Polish PJ friends and taking her to PJ concert in Krakow. Cala Naprzod this time!
    Knowing costs of PJ touring I know it is not the best moment to ask anyone for supporting charity actions financially, but you could do something faster and for free.
    Just check Given to Live and Cala Naprzód pages, like it, share it and simply support it.

    https://www.facebook.com/giventolive/
    https://www.facebook.com/calanaprzodmpd/

    Please do not lose yourself in searching for best beer pubs in Krakow, researching how to get to the venue, which tram to use etc.
    I will be more than happy to help you with this – just pm. I’m local
    At the same time spread the word about Given To Live and Cala Naprzod, share it, like it or simply smile if you see anyone in Krakow dressed with Given To Live or Cala Naprzod t-shirts.
    Thanks
    Marcin

    some travel tips.

    many ask how to get to the venue from the city center. if we consider "main market" in the Old Town as the heart of the city center please note that there are no trams crossing the main market. it's closed for transport.

    however, many tram lines run literally around the main market, while you will find a tram stop within around 200-300 metres if you leave the main market in any direction.

    of course one of the biggest tram stops is between the main market and the central station (close to Galeria Krakowska shopping mall)

    there are two tram stops close to the venue:

    1. the south one is Tauron Arena Krakow Wieczysta with trams 4, 44 and 52 running from the Central Station (Dworzec Glowny) tram stop. It's 15-20 min tram ride. 

    2. the north stop would be Tauron Arena Krakow Al. Pokoju with lines 14 and 22 going from the city centre

    please note that trams run until approx. 11-11.30 pm so you would not have a lot of time after the show to walk around the venue etc. you better move with your friends to the city center and have some afterparty right there.

    There are night buses too. Also it is a 45 minute walk back to old town. Would be a fun walk singing some tunes!
  • mrk2mrk2 Finland Posts: 2,022
    Which stop is better for night buses, the north or south?
