Gdansk in our bag

Poland and sea, so opposite concepts but believe me its not that bad combination. Unfortunately i couldnt go to that city with my beloved Irene but i was there with my lovely Hungarian friends Gabor and Andrea.

Andrea and her famous Map to find the hostel !!! Ahahahahah :) 

Sun in Poland is a gift so if there is sun run to the gdansk guys, its a great city after polnd you do feel that its a city. Gdansk has a soul guys.

We were lucky and we had sun for some hours and it wasnt that cold, normally its freezing.

As all we know nearly all the polish cities has old towns so this is the old town of Gdansk also known 3 cities. Some people says its the city that rebellion or uprisng started from here and spread to all poland.

Not many but there are still figures that shows the marks of the past in Gdansk.

I have to tell Gdansk is full of with museums if you like it of course. Personally i love museums if they are not boring of course and Gdansk is a paradise for Museum lovers. especially Amber museum is highly recommended.

I couldnt stop myself taking this lovely photo :) 

Really if you dont have hungarian friends that means you lost a lot. They are great people. Maybe ı am Turkish and they are Hungarian we are relatives from the past maybe cause of this but its so great to travel with them.

See what i mean :)

I am telling you great people to go for a trip :)

Wroclaw in our bag

Old town panaroma

Wroclaw the city of churches. You cannot leave the city if you didn’t enter in one of its multiple churches. And there are no excuses such as ‘I didn’t see any of them’ because it’s so easy. They are very tall, not huge, and inside they are not rich. We mean, there are not too many gold and enormous statues, only simple churches. We have to recognize that we entered to the first church to visit it, but then, we went inside them because the weather was terrible, 40 degrees more or less, we needed protect our health and the churches are cold so… Thanks that they are free.

We are hot blood people thats all :) 

Old Town

Angel of death 

Botanic park in Wroclaw

Ok i wanted to show how jelous she is because Turkey has a bigger  advertisement  than Spain

Irene shows our next country to visit :)

This statue was nex to our hostel ok the thing is the hostel we stayed was fucking expensive but it was clean and stuff was so helpfull i think theese are more important than money.So chose your hostel or hotel carefully dont think it like "just a place to stay".

Go to the top of this church its worth amazing view and nice things might happen there as well ;)

Wroclaw is a special place because it was the last city where we travelled in Poland. It was our last days in Poland together. We lived there days very closed, we didn’t want to leave the country where we met, but Erasmus has an end and we wanted to enjoy till the last day. 


We were most of the time in the old town, the only interesting place in the city. It’s true. There is nothing else. But we loved this old town. We don’t know why, maybe cause of the colorful houses, or cause of the dwarfs (you need to go down) or because it was our last polish trip

Before we go to wroclaw everybody told us ooo just 1 day is enough but WTF we stayed there 3 days almost and we had such a lovely time. So from our point of view its the person that makes the place perfect. not the city. 

Ok you wanna feel like a King you have to get in this church. I am not gonna tell the name  cause if you want something you got to get it, dont u agree :) 

As we mentioned before its full of with churches but the unfortunate thing is the drawings, decorations,sculptures and frescos i mean the original ones were truely cleaned. I dont know why but i called thşs as modern vandalism.

This market was the best option after all day long walking under a burning sun. There are a lot of stands full fruits, vegetables, meat, flowers… We needed energy to continue walking till the hostel so we bought delicious red cherries.

Warsaw in our bag

Symbol of Warsaw Mermaid

Red palace square panaroma

National Stadium

Also, in this square you can find people who sell their own pictures so it’s a good opportunity to buy an original souvenir.

The main place to visit in Warsaw is Old Town. You can use tram or bus to get arrive there and the name of the stop is Stare Miasto. In Old Town there are two squares connected by old stone streets and colorful houses that make the place very nice and romantic to walk with your couple. 

Moreover, there are horse carts and you can pay for a tour with a horsecart. It’s another way to enjoy the city. Sometimes there are shows, artists who play with fire, dance, play music or they just make people laugh and protests of course polish people make protest at this square.

Warsaw bishop said "three naked woman can not stand infront of the holy church'' square. Cause of warsaw bishop's command these 3 women statues removed from Kajienski square  to behind of the square. 

Moreover in the city centre (name of the stops is Centrum) is situated the train station where you can take trains to go to Krakow, Berlin, Wien or Budapest. Also there are a lot of known shops (Zara, C&A, H&M), a big shopping centre, fast food restaurants and little kebab stands (fake Turkish kebab)so after party, if you are hungry and it’s cold, the best option is eat a hot kebab. We love this part of the city because there are too many things to do; there is not chance to be bored.

This group of musicians welcomes people in the neighborhood of Praga (we are still in Poland, not in Czech Republic). If you have time, we suggest u to go here because you can find curious places, for example the National Stadium of Warsaw. National Football teams like Portugal, Germany or Italy played in this stadium. If you are interested in it, check the website of the stadium the schedule and the days when it’s possible to visit it.

For us, this area of Warsaw is so cute because you can walk next to the river, eat a delicious piece of cake and drink a hot cup of coffee in a little nice café and you can take a fantastic panorama since a hot air balloon. We couldn’t do it because the weather was not good but we are sure that it’s an amazing experience. Moreover, the price is not very expensive (40zl=10 euros). In general the prices in this part of Warsaw are really cheap because it’s not in the centre, about 10 minutes away by tram. We have to warn that it’s not recommendable to go at night, especially for tourists. But don’t be afraid in the day time, my friends and i never had any problem.

If you want to get a beautiful sightseeing of the city, you can go up to the building next to the square and take fantastic photos. The entrance is only 4 zl (around 1 euro) and in our opinion, it’s worth to pay for it.

In the main old town square, you can find the famous mermaid who protects the city and the citizens. If you want to visit her sister, you need to go to Copenhagen. In this square there is different kind of restaurants: polish, Italian, café… 
Don’t you know what food is traditional in Poland? PIEROGI, you cannot miss this word, cause Warsaw is like just Pierogi, Pierogi  is the main food.

But Warsaw is not just an old town. Next to old town, 15 minutes walking, you will find the modern part of city. It is easy to recognize because there is a building called “Palace of Culture and Science”, the highest building in Poland. Inside the palace, there are a cinema, a theatre, exhibition halls, a disco, bars and you can use an elevator (20zl = 5 euros(2013) ), go up and have really good sightseeing of the city. You can compare the old and new town and locate where the huge green parks are. We went at night because you can see all the buildings and the streets shinning, even if they are far away.

Love :)
