Warsaw, quit a ex-communism city, wide and big roads. It is not good for wheelchair because of many overpass and underpass. Only an old city is nice for tourist. 

Polish cooking are heavy. Pierogi, flied dumplings. Bigos, stew with meat and cabbage. BBQ, many meat !

The great piano composer CHOIN is Polish. Every summer Sunday there are some public concert in a big park. Many citizen come and hung out. Nice holiday mood.  

Enjoy the music on my video.

Warsaw is a bid accessible not for only wheelchair, but for elder person and baby buggy.

From Ukraine to Krakow, old Polish capital. Krakow is a popular tourist city. So many accessible equipment. Krakow central station has lifts and their home are high. I found an accessible public toilet near old city.

Krakow old city is incredible beautiful as if we go time-travel to middle age of Europe. Old city is compact, few car, possible to walk around, very flat, nice road condition, and a lot of place to see. I recommend Krakow is one of the best Europe tourist city.

Behind Wavel castle, there is a cave. One famous children story about dragon and princess. The dragon statue sometimes breathe out of fire. Kids were so excited.

Krakow's pretzel tastes very good and cheep ( 1 LOT = 0.25 Euro). We can buy them everywhere. People's snack and breakfast.

About 1.5 hour from Krakow to Auschwitz, huge Jewish were killed among World War Second. Krakow station is non step, but Oswiecim station is a big step. 20-30 minutes by walk to Auschwitz and Birkenau. Inside museum was not accessible. I guess they kept the situation at that time. I entered some exhibition by peoples help.

To Krakow airport, normally we use a direct train. It was new and accessible, but some problem. Each station platform is different height.
