Warsaw
You can't miss this place when you are in Warsaw. But I think it's worth exploring and even going to the top. Is the view like the Empire State Building? Hell. No. But the fascinating Soviet socio-political history is a reason to check it out.
Palace of Culture and Science - PKiN.pl
Not only a nice hotel, but the building survived Warsaw's near-destruction during WWII.
Hotel Polonia Palace, Warsaw
I really loved this museum. There is just so much information and it is extremely poignant. It covers the entire history of Jews in Poland and the museum does such a wonderful job telling their story.
POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews
We popped in here per chance, and this was one of the best meals I ever had in my life. I highly recommend checking this out, especially since it is at such a central location.
jutro balkan bistro
I walked in, told them what I liked, and got the coolest cocktail ever. It was a great place to spend our night.
Back2Rock
Krakow
In my opinion, the best bar in Krakow. Drinks are cheap, the atmosphere is cool as hell, and there is great company, too.
PUB PROPAGANDA, Krakow - Kazimierz - Restaurant Reviews, ...
I went out of my way to make sure we tried various pierogi places throughout our stay, and hands down, this was best pierogi we had.
Dude, I loved this place. I think pinball is the coolest and there are different machines dating from the 1960s.
Kraków Pinball Museum
The best cocktails I've had in a long time. The speakeasy Alice In Wonderland theme was a lot of fun, the staff was great, and the drinks were so cool.
William Rabbit & Co
A nifty hotel in the Kazmierz district making it an accessible place to sight-see and enjoy Krakow's fabulous nightlife.
1891 Garni Hotel, Krakow (updated prices 2025)
Lodz
Ah yes, only if America re-imagined their former industrial plants into an indoor and outdoor cosmopolitan playground. If only.
Manufaktura
I was really impressed with this place. It's a great option if you are hoping to check out some local cuisine.
