  • 11 NOVEMBER 2018 marks a very important day in #Poland's history. It's a time to commemorate not only the end of WWI, as is the case in western Europe on what is known as Armistice Day, but most importantly to Poles, their county's re-emergence on the map of the world. Read our feature on the 100 Years of Polish Independence. Link in profile. #historyinyourpocket #PolishHistory #niepodlegla1918 #history #historyofpoland #niepodlegla #krakowinyourpocket #warsawinyourpocket #lodzinyourpocket #poznaninyourpocket #wroclawinyourpocket #katowiceinyourpocket #gdanskinyourpocket #travelpoland #poland🇵🇱 #polska🇵🇱 #polandtravel #polandexperience #lovepoland #travelslow #travelsmart #poland #polandisbeautiful #explorepoland
  • This corner and nook behind the church is one of the most picturesque and iconic places in the centre of #Krakow. In it you’ll find two cafes that are already part of the city’s soul, Camelot and Dym, and a relatively new restaurant, @boccanera_krakow. Also a more recently addition is the popular Pijalnia Wódka i Piwa. #krakowinyourpocket #krakow101 #travelslow #travelsmart #krakowtravel #travelpoland #poland🇵🇱 #polandexperience #seekrakow #discovercracow #krakowplaces #krakowlove #polandphotos #polandtravel

  • Walking through the courtyard from #Piotrkowska 3 (or from ul. Zachodnia 56) really highlights how such a simple idea can have a big impact. Róża's Passage (Pasaż Róży) brings light and intrigue to this, a courtyard link between two main streets that once contained a dark, rundown former hotel later turned into residential flats, by creating funky mosaics that reflect natural light via thousands of mirror shards. #lodzinyourpocket #visitlodz #visitpoland #travelslow #travelsmart #lodz #kochamlodz #łódź #igerslodz #mojalodz #poland🇵🇱 #polandexperience #lodzmojemiasto #lodzstreetart #streetart #lodzmiastozdusza #discoverlodz #polandtravel #polandsights #pasazrozy #kochamłódź

  • We don’t get to see Zygmunt I Stary and Jan III Sobieski that often. Do you know who they are?

  • One of the most transited streets, but still one of the most impressive views as you approach the main Market Square in #Krakow. #krakow101 #travelslow #travelsmart #krakowinyourpocket #visitkrakow #visitpoland #poland #polandexperience #polandtravel #krakowexperience #krakowtravel #seekrakow #travelinpoland #lovetravel #lovekrakow
