Visiting Krakow

I `ve just visited my friend in wonderful city Krakow. I`ve stayed in Piano Krakow hostel

Kraków is a city of paradox when we look on the architecture. It has a lot old builidings mixed with the new ones.

We wanted to find perfect place for out meeting in Krakow. We searched here:

kongresy
sale ślubne
spa wellness
sale sportowe

We had a lot of fun there, especially during our nightouts. I`ve met a lot of people. Polish are very open and sociable. I was suprised as I thought that they are the opposite.

 

Botanical Garden in Amsterdam:)

The Hortus Botanicus is located on the edge of the bustling city of Amsterdam and is one of the oldest examples of botanical gardens in the world.Visitors can enjoy over 6,000 varieties of plants and 4,000 different species in the gardens as well as seven impressive climate controlled greenhouses. The gardens offer a great respite for visitors from the bustle of downtown Amsterdam. Hortus Botanicus was originally used as a training centre for doctors and pharmacists who trained in herbal remedies in the wake of Europe’s epidemic of bubonic plague. Gardening enthusiasts will experience a resplendent collection of plants at the venue – many of which were brought over to Amsterdam along with herbs and spices by the Dutch East India Company in the 17th and 18th centuries.

 

Skinny Bridge

The famous skinny bridge across the river Amstel and opposite of the Carré theatre, is an Old Dutch design wooden bridge known as a double-swipe bridge. Tradition relates that the bridge was named after the sisters Mager, who were supposed to live on opposite sides of the river.

They are said to have had the wooden bridge built to make it easier to visit one another. However it appears more likely, that the original bridge acquired the name from being so narrow, that it was hard for two pedestrians to pass one along another.

Because of increasing the traffic on the skinny bridge, a wider bridge replaced the narrow one in 1871. Skinny Bridge is far not skinny anymore, but one of the most beautiful bridges of Amsterdam. At night many lights illuminate the bridge, then it becomes a very romantic place, popular with lovers and photographers.

 

De Nieuwe Kerk

De Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam is famous for its much talked-about exhibitions. With hundred thousands of visitors every year, the church is one of the most attended exhibition locations in the Netherlands.

De Nieuwe Kerk is located in the middle of the city centre at Dam Square next to the Royal Palace.

 

Rijksmuseum Gardens

Many visitors don’t realize they can wander through the sculpture, hedges and rose bushes of the Rijksmuseum Gardens without paying more than 10 eurocents.

A free printed guide provides background on the impressive statues, fountains, ponds and five centuries of salvaged Dutch architectural pieces, including Gothic pillars and 17th-century city gates what make this an exceptional Amsterdam attraction.

It`s beautiful place, especially relaxing when there is a sunny wheater.

 

Begijnhof

The Begijnhof a hidden courtyard of cottages originally built in the 14th-century for a group of pious, charitable women. You’re instantly transported from busy central Amsterdam to a tiny village. You’ll find a well-kept lawn and flower gardens, centuries-old houses, a small medieval church and tall trees whose rustling leaves you can actually hear in the unusual silence.

Also here is Amsterdam’s oldest house (one of the city’s only two remaining wooden houses), dating from 1475. Women still live here, so groups aren’t allowed and guests are asked to visit in quiet reflection.
