Poland: Krakow (Wawel Castle, Jewish memorial, Schindler Factory)

Wawel Castle



View of Krakow from Wawel Castle



Courtyard of the Castle. The rooms basically contains tapestries and other royal family's treasures



Wawel cathedral @ the Wawel Castle





Inside the Wawel cathedral



The priests taking turns to pray in front the altar



Fire-breathing dragon @ the foot of the Wawel Castle



Bagels which originate from Poland



Unflattering shot of Polish street baskers



The inscription says: "In memory of the Jewish martyrs of Cracow who were annihilated by the Nazi Germans in the terrible period"; "Earth do not Cover their Blood"

I am currently in Kazimierz, scene of many events in Schindler's List



Jewish Synagogue
I feel that Synagogues are generally less ostentatious and gives a warm, cosy and homely feeling whereas catholic cathedrals seem to seek to overwhelm their visitors with their ostentatious displays



Jewish Cemetery



Across the Wista river to go to the Schindler Factory



Schindler Factory



The man himself



Awarded the medal for the Righteous Among the Nations



Show @ the market square

Overall, I feel that Krakow is a lot less touristy than Prague and thus more pleasant to walk around
