At 28 I quit my job in TV to travel the world and find new experiences. I blog and vlog on local travel, coffee culture and social impact in Europe and beyond.
There was one café which we didn’t get a chance to visit on our tour because they were closed for renovations, but at this point we had just had three full-size coffees and my caffeine jitters were kicking in, so it’s safe to say we didn’t mind saving it for another day! If you geek out about coffee like me, or you just love to drink it, I highly recommend this tour with Impulse Travel. I learned on this tour that’s a big misconception and that, in the specialty world, filter coffee can be good quality and tasteful.

There are so many kinds of pierogis to try that’s why the best place to eat pierogis in Krakow is at a pierogi kitchen. Traditional polish sauerkraut and meat stew is the ultimate Polish comfort food. No Polish food experience is complete without eating sausage from Krakow’s first food truck.
