      Auschwitz - end May (booking on website)

      Krakow May 15, 2013 at 8:41 PM

      I booked for end May tour on the official website - Very weirdly I got an email back from the official website that I do not have to book the guided tour, upon asking, they say can enter Museum on our own before 10 AM or after 3 PM on our own.

      I am confused as earlier forum responses and the official website did say to enter Auschwitz 1 during my travel dates I need to have book a tour / guide. Can someone please clarify because I only have 1 particular day to go to Auschwitz and want to ensure this is well planned ahead.

      If I have to be there before 10 AM when do I start taking the bus there?

      Let me know your views. Thanks!

      Transportation

      Hel May 3, 2013 at 5:23 PM

      Hi. I read your guys' transportation posts. I will be in Gdansk this summer, and wanted to take a day trip to Hel. I was originally thinking to take the train there, and take the ferry back, but now I'm thinking bus will be a better option, so I can stop places along the way, but I also don't know how often they run, and I don't wanna get stuck somewhere. Like I said, we're only going for a day trip, and I don't want to end up getting stuck somewhere, and not actually making it to Hel. I read it takes 2-3 hours to get out there by bus, and the same by ferry. That's a big chunk of the day. I'm not exactly sure where we'd be stopping, maybe Puck, Jastarnia, and maybe another town. I was thinking about leaving early like 6 or 7. Would that be enough to get there and back? I heard the last bus leaves at 4 PM. IDK how long we would be there for. What about the last train or ferry? I was thinking about finding a hotel for the night, but if it's not necessary, I'd rather avoid it. I also read that traffic is really bad, so should we take the bus one way, and return by ferry? I wanna at least go one way by bus or train, because I heard it's more scenic. Another option could also be take a train straight to Hel, and than stop in the other villages on the way back. What would you suggest? IDK why the last bus leaves so early. Would we have enough time to see everything in a day, and make it back to Gdansk before dark?

      Apartment neat Main Square with 6 beds!!

      Krakow May 14, 2013 at 12:50 AM

      I am trying to locate a large apartment near the main square, previously we stayed in the Rezysent hotel on Grodzka and the location was perfect. So far I have just been offered apartments with 3 beds to a room or multiple 2 bed apartments. We are 6 men in our 50s and I am over for my 50th Birthday. We dont mind paying a bit more for something good. All the ones on the Old Town apartment site that looked perfect have already gone!
      Any thoughts much appreciated.
      I have a friend who is travelling there for his Daughters Confirmation this week and have asked him to have a look. At least he speaks the language!

      Bialystok - Kaunas

      by Drugness Online Now Jun 30, 2011 at 11:23 AM

      Hello all. Me again I'm hoping to travel from Bialystok - Kaunas on a Thursday morning/evening. The problem is, i see the bus doesn't go on a Thursday and that the train (leaving B. around 10.15) doesn't arrive in Kaunas until about 16.30 (LT time)so the day is pretty much gone Can you knowledgeable folk tell me if these are my only 2 options to get to Kaunas? I would have loved to hire a car to cover this route but as i understand it cross-border carhire is a pretty big no no. Thank you all! DG

      Cultural attractions close to Bialystok

      by Drugness Online Now Jun 20, 2011 at 10:45 AM

      Hello all I understand this region is very good for nature lovers so thats great, as i plan to visit Augustow too I'm not into spending nights camping or hours hiking, and because of this does that make this region a little unsuited to me? I'd like to experience the outdoors but also immerse myself in the cultural side of things. Are there are towns or villages near Bialystok which i should definitely visit to see fine examples of restored architecture, castles or nice old towns? I'm debating whether its really worth my while stopping off in this region during my trip, or just spend more time closer to somewhere like Olsztyn? All tips are much appreciated! Regards DG
