Romantic Krakow by night – everything could happen 😉
Walking down the streets, you’re watching laughing people, who are talking and relaxing in pub’s and restaurant’s gardens. More over, on every corner of Market Square you can hear music, not only from this pubs and restaurant but what is charming, from Krakow traditionally musicians. Or even more popular polish music groups like Krakow Street Band, playing blues music for surprised passer-bys. And there are also many also foreign musicians playing on the streets, just for fun and sometimes they are very famous musicians in Europe but (what is funny) they were unrecognised inhere. You can meet a lady who is selling red rouses to couples in love, or see the happy couple waiting in front of church. This makes Krakow unique and very romantic city.
