Krakow: Visit a Cultural Gem in Poland with Eva zu Beck 

DW, you couldn't have picked a better person to represent Poland, and Krakow than Eva and Vilk. Excellent spokesperson in whatever she does. Good job, a truly honest and real personality.

Eva, this was such a great video. My first serious girlfriend in high school was Polish. Her father was my boss where I had a summer job. He actually invited me to dinner one night as he wanted me to meet his daughter. Her mother was a very strict Catholic and very traditional. She would not let her daughter shave her legs until she was 16 yrs. old. I first met her when she was about 15 and she got a lot of teasing because of it. She was a beautiful girl, but also had a heart of gold. We dated for about a year then I went off to college and life just happened and I never saw her again. I asked my dad once why people liked to tell jokes about Polish people. He told me when he was overseas in World War II he went through many towns & cities in Poland and that Poland was the first place where he saw stores that had "electric eyes" that automatically opened the door when you approached it. He said the Polish people were very friendly, loving people and only ignorant people tell jokes about other people they don't bother getting to know. I'm proud that he helped liberate Europe from Hitler's rule. My dad was at Omaha Beach and the Battle of the Bulge. He passed thru Buchenwald Concentration Prison a few days after it had been liberated. He lived to be 100 years and 4 months.

Here for Eva and Vilk. Krakow is now on my list.

DW must see a boon in views when Eva hosts. She’s quite genuine and charming. ❤

Poland is so beautiful and orderly.

Having been to Kraków twice (for conferences), first as an omnivore, second as a vegan some 9 years later - this was (culinary) heaven both times. The city has a special vibe, the culture, churches, museums, parks, places, restaurants, pubs - very beautiful and all in all easy to access for foreigners. Thank you for showing some of this to us. Plus, I would recommend Poland's touristic sites for vegans wholeheartedly. Had a great time hiking at the Baltic Sea in summer, had the most amazing dishes, pierogi, sushi, pizza, burgers, "fish" soup, ravioli with fake prawns etc. In my view, Poland is a touristic gem to be discovered, be it the Baltic sea, mountains, cities, hiking and biking paths.

Thumbs up for having Eva as your presenter for this documentary.

This past spring, my wife and I took a river cruise down the Elbe River, I made sure that we added the overland extension to Poland. Krakow, Czestochowa, and Warsaw. My Dziadzia left Krakow for the US before WW I and went back when he was 70 while it was still under Communism. So, I went for my 70th. I loved Krakow, as did my wife. I'm proud to say "Jestem Polakiem Amerykaninem" (My Polish isn't very good)

Poland is a lovely country and Krakow is beautiful! must visit country for sure

Thank you for this video, Eva! I used to live in Kraków (Podgórze) sixteen years ago and it was the most memorable, magical and freeing year of my life. I will never forget this special city. Your video brought so many memories to me. ❤️

After watching this documentary, I really want to visit Poland! Thank you DW!

I LOVE Eva! She's the most amazing & authentic & truthful traveler! So glad to see her doing videos for DW - whose travel videos I rely on for useful information & travel research!! 😇

A beautiful girl with her best friend in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe ❤. My city. I was born in Cracow and spent best days of my life here. Thank you for this video, made me hungry though 😊

Loved watching Eva explore Krakow! She is so perfect for videos like this...

Nice Eva! Krakow is truly spectacular! I studied Polish there three times in Szkola Letnia at Jagiellonian and loved every minute of it! It is my favorite city in Europe! Such history and atmosphere and culture and beauty! Great to see you show it off! It is a must-visit place!

I have never been but it’s just gone on my overland list! Thanks Eva.

Eva and Vilk are the best Poland guides.

I love Eva! Great video, and her being Polish adds some authenticity to her Poland videos!

We spent a week there in 2018. We will be back, since we loved it so much.

Awesome, thanks Eva!

Eva, I love this video. This is great for someone who lives in California and will probably never be able to get to Poland. Thank You

Oh your puppy. He’s SO cute. Hi Eva Thank you for your energetic assessment of Krakow. It is beautiful. How refreshing. A trip to Poland is long overdue. Thank you Zoltán

A big day to introduce Vilk to your home city, such a lovely place 😊

Great job Eva!

He is BEAUTIFUL! Of course, so is the HOST!

I was in Krakow about twenty years ago. I was travelling though Poland, then down though the Slovakia, into Hungary, then Ukraine and Romania. It was a wonderful month long trip. Krakow was great, with lots of Buffalo vodka!

Vilk! 😍 I missed him so much in your latest video from Mongolia, Eva!

Great video---good to see Vilk again----so macho!!!! You look happy and rested---can't wait to see your next adventure !!! Take care and give Vilk a treat for me!!!!!!!!!

Great video, Eva. Kraków is indeed such a fascinating place to visit!

We also went somewhere to see the Black Madonna. It was so full of history. 😊

Krakow is wonderful, I love ❤❤❤❤❤

Eva, thank you for showing that beautiful city and country. It's just amazing, and you explaining it is a great history of your country .❤

Our granddaughter just came back from Poland on behalf of the US Air Force Academy in Colorado. She spoke with holocaust survivors and gave a speech before, i think, the Prime Minister. The trip was a very impacting experience. She had been well prepared by her mom who was her HS history teacher for 4 yrs. Our hearts are very tender toward the Jews and their plight in modern day aggression toward their race. America is on a rapid downward slope. Amazing that Krakow has risen out of the ashes so many times in their history and managed to preserve their artistic gifts for the world and their resilience in the face of extreme adversity.

Who would ever have thought Poland would be one of the strongest economies and governments in Europe from just 30 years ago? Poland is without doubt a beautiful country. You are definitely a compliment to Polish history and people, and are proving that every day. Keep up the good work. Now I have to find some good veggie food.😎

I agree, been there once and the city is just fantastic.

Great travel video. Krakow looks beautiful.

Eva thank you for sharing! I will definitely share this video with my British friends💙

To me the best city, and it should be the capital again. I love Poland !!

Eva is the perfect host for this. And I love that Vilk got to enjoy the city too! I am Polish on my dads side so it is really cool to see and learn more about Poland

Oh, through experience i can confirm that Poland, especially by the sea is very dog friendly. We spend our family vacation in Poland in the summer of 2022 and 2023 by the sea and never had an issue. We could take our dog to the beach and he was welcomed at every restaurant we went to.

There is an underground museum under the sukiennic. It’s the archaeological sight of the old market stalls

You have a nice warm personality and you did an excellent job showing why Krakow is an amazing city.

Yes! More Eva! Can’t get enough of her presentation!

On my bucket list.

Madom Your efforts are very beautiful. Thankyou for introducing this beautiful Krakow and Poland structure 👍

Excuse me, but is this Vilk's first official gig? Aww. Eva, he did so good! I love when you take us around and show us the beautiful cities in Poland! ❤️

Love this job.. 😊

Good job Eva, nice seeing you here, what a treat

nice to see Eva zu Beck being hosted on more than her own excellent channel. She's a great guide. well done DW.

I am an American who got to spend the weekend in Krakow as part of a work conference. I can attest to to everything she is saying here. Krakow is a great tourist city. The market square and the other cultural landmarks. I felt safe and welcomed (this was 15 years ago so take that as you will).

When I was in graduate school, I went to NYC with my Jewish roommate for a day. We went to his parent's house. to stay over night, but sinice I was Christian, he told me to fake being Jewish or his mothere wouldn't let me stay. He told me to tell her my name was Russell Berkowitz. I did what he said. His mother asked where my parents were from, when they came here, etc. I said off the top of my head Krakow and before WWII. That seemed to satisfy her, but I didn't know a thing about Krakow. I do now. By the way, I married a beautiful Jewish girl. Neither of us are religious.

That was great Thank You!

We used to go for vacations to Krakow when I was a kid, we traveled all across Poland Warsaw, Gdansk, been to to them all. Poland 🇵🇱 is a special country the best people in the world in my opinion.

❤❤❤ love Krakow xx

Krakow is one of our favorite cities in Europe. I remember as an American child reading about the famous trumpeter of Krakow, which you failed to mention in your comments. That's too good a story to pass up!

Eva, that was a great video. Really enjoyed it. Fr Mark, the priest for Junction & Menard, Tx (and my boss)' is going to Krakow July 29-Aug 6. I am definitely showing him this video since it will be his 1st time there. Much love & peace.❤✌️

Yes it is certainly a beautiful city. Stayed in an Air B@B in the Kazimierz neighborhood.Thanks for reigniting those memories.

You were in your element here. Excellent tour!

Love her videos a lot

Makes a video to showcase Kraków and it's importance to the Polish culture and history. Orders Middle-Eastern food xD. What's next? Authentic Italian pizza in New Delhi? xD Joking ofc, eat what you like. Just thought it was a bit funny.

The market was fantastic, love all the culture other countries preserve; by the way congrats on your race in Mongolia I didnt have time to leave comment. You rocked it🤙

Lovely places & food 👌✨💜 I wud LOVE to visit one day 🙏

Thinking of going for 3 weeks in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia. Your the best travel guide and have some of the best videos. Thank you for posting them! Just subscribed.

Cześć Eva 👊🏼 It's great to see you do this walkabout around Krakow with Wilk 🐺 It's one of my fav cities in Polska 🇵🇱 As is Wrocław, though I prefer the countryside mostly... 🌳🪵🔥 One of the highlights was seeing Bison, in Białowieża forest, early morning... No doubt, new adventures await you, as the wind knows your name... 🌬

Good to see Wilk again.

Good job DW on hiring Eva and Vilk to do a travel show for your channel. SHE is my favorite vlogger and where she goes, I follow. She is easy on the ears and eyes...Great Travel Video

In 2011 I pedaled from Beijing to Amsterdam and stopped there for a couple of days. It wasn't enough time. One of the places I want to see more of.
