    Hi

    There's about 10 of us going to Krakow for a week in July after the exams.

    We're staying fairly close to the city centre and we're looking for recommendations for pubs, clubs, and activities within walking distance of the main square or maybe outside the city but with good bus/shuttle access etc.

    Any recommendations appreciated!

    Go to Lost Souls Alley.

    Just off the main square 6 Florianska Street (the one with McDonalds on it), though Lost Souls is down the square end.

    If there's any sport on during the day check out the sports bar at the Sheraton Hotel, it's class.

    If you plan on drinking, pay heed to the quasi-security guys in black t shirts that operate in the square (Rynek). They are not official police but they are employed by the bars and restaurants to keep the atmosphere pleasant for all. If they ask you to keep down the noise (if there is any), they mean it and don't tend to give second chances.

    Watch how the locals behave and follow their lead.

    There is a bar called "Bania Luka" which sells shots and pints for €1. Great place, its just off the main square.

    Me and one or two others from the group have been there before and I thought it was a savage spot, dirt cheap also.

    Was in Krakow a couple of years ago and loved it. Lots of good pubs and places to eat. Was lucky enough to catch a Wisla Krakow home game and the atmosphere was fantastic - if any of ye are interested in football it's definitely worth going to a game there, either Wisla or Cracovia. Make sure to get to the ground in plenty of time though, you can only get a match ticket if you sign up to the supporters club so you need your passport too. Only costs about 10 zloty so it's grand.

    Maybe this is a bit too serious for a Leaving Cert holiday, but Auschwitz camp is nearby - it's a trip that you should experience while you're so nearby though, but obviously has to be undertaken with the utmost respect, so maybe it's not ideal if this is just a lads and booze trip :D

    Hope ye enjoy it as much as I did :)
