Mysterious Cracow


The more time I spend there, the more I like it. Okay, everyone knows it's a beautiful place. I have also always emphasized the unique atmosphere of it - an old city full of young students and, most of all, a city associated with literary elite, at least in my subconscience. But what I really love about Cracow, and what I've been observing lately, is that there are so many things to discover that it fascinates me. Little cosy cafés and original restaurants, everything hidden somewhere, usually somewhere really close to you when you walk on one of the old streets near the Main Square. The funny thing is that usually you have no idea that they exist. You get to know them by pure chance or just because someone was lucky enough to find it before you and then kind enough to recommend it. It's amazing how well these places are hidden. When you're already inside, sitting with a cup of hot chocolate, looking through the window at the street below, you think "I would have never found it. Do these people out there know it is so nice and cosy in here?".
