Things to do in Krakow, Southern Poland: The Best Concerts & Shows
Krakow is one of the most culturally and politically significant cities in Poland. It was the central site of the Nazi General Government during WWII, and there’s still a residual feeling of solemnity here that’s especially apparent during visits to the Plaszow Concentration Camp and the Oskar Schindler Factory. Both the Historic City Centre and the Jewish District are brimming with cafés, shops, and pubs, and the 10-acre Main Market Square is a medieval feast for the senses.

Although it originates in the tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Southeastern Europe, the genre was mostly influenced by Romanian, Greek, Ukrainian, Polish, and Turkish music. The repertoire consists of instrumental pieces, connected with the folklore of Reform Judaism, and of songs performed in Yiddish, belonging to the tradition of Orthodox Judaism.

Booked online at cracowconcerts.com, the venue is quite small and plain however the passion with which the duo performed was impressive. The violinist played with verve whilst the guitarist played well and sang in Yiddish with gusto. Definitely worth a visit.

The Nowa Huta Cultural Center is a 'hidden gem' in Krakow if you’re fond of remarkable exhibitions. During our three-day stay in Krakow, the exhibition of Zdzislaw Beksinski was high on the wish list. When we arrived we found out that the exhibition was closed due to COVID-19. Thats when we discovered what “Polish hospitality” means; the friendly security guards took all the efforts and made a private visit to the exhibition possible. They showed real commitment and sensitivity for the service they provided. The works on display of Beksinski are beautifully detailed and impressive. The other exhibitions (Duda Gracz and Monika Palki) were also a real treat. As an extra, you can see gems of street art around the building. A more than successful day!

I've been an occasional tourist performer since 2016 in Kraków. Now living in the city since July, I perform much more often. I love the entertainment value Kraków Standup Comedy is providing the city, huge thanks to them for this and the regular stage time opportunity they provide for local and travelling comics. Having performed in many different countries they set the bar really high; well managed events, great hosting, cheap entry price and amazing quality of international headliners being booked (Headliner shows are every two weeks on Sundays at which alternates with an open mic on the other Sundays). Szpitalna1 comedy night is the only place to be on a Sunday night, the other nights during the week are great too.
