Krakow, The Old Royal Residence
Me at the cities town square, Krakow, Poland
The Renaissance architectural masterpiece of Krakow is a charm on its own
It was such an honor for me to see Krakow with my own eyes. I always wanted to visit this place cause I was aware of the fact that Krakow is exceptionally beautiful even before I went there. I consider this city to be one of Central/Eastern Europe’s best, and if you travel in the nearby future, I strongly recommend to visit Krakow as soon and as thoroughly as possible.
Hour after hour, a harsh and bugle sound can be heard from the tower of St Mary’s Basilica and then it suddenly stops. At the Rynek Glowni cafe, situated on the square of the old town is worth a visit. Krakow is not only the “Slavic Rome” but also the “Citadel of Legends”.
Here you will find more than 100 churches and monasteries, nuns that have faces reminding us of Virgin Mary and numerous people who worship everyday in one of Krakow’s churches.

Poznan
At the moment Poland is a medical travel target for patients from the UK and Germany, but due to the privatization and commercialization of health care in the country medical tourism is expected to bloom in the following years.
In general many medical procedures can be 60 to 80% lower in Poland than in the UK – or the US as a matter of fact. Besides that Poland is a country with beautiful mountains and rather developed infrastructure and services, so it has got high potential in becoming a primary target for more tourist patients. …

The best Eastern European spa destinations
Sofia
Spas are travel destinations for those who want nothing to do with anything that could be exhausting. After all, the whole point of going to a spa is to lie about, doing nothing, while you get slathered with treatments and massaged until you come out looking like a new person.

But Eastern Europe and spas are actually a great combination – there are loads of new and old spas in Easter Europe that can offer you the same luxuries as any other spa in the world, and most of the time for much less money. Here are some of the best Eastern European spa destinations. …
