Jagiellonian - oldest university in Poland

Collegium Novum, administration and offices


What could be better than studying in beautiful Kraków at the old and renown Jagiellonian University? It's the oldest university in Poland and the second oldest in Central Europe after Charles University in Prague.
See the pictures and think back to the good old days... imagine how it felt like to study here. Nowadays -of course- students mostly have their lectures in really modern buildings.

Łódź - in the center of Poland


What is Łódź? It's the third-largest city in Poland! Where is Łódź? It's located in the central part of the country! How do you pronounce it? It's something like "Woodsch". And what on earth should you do there? Discover Poland's past of textile industry and find nice hidden cafés or bars. It's completely different than the beautiful cities Kraków or Poznan. Go there without any expections, just give it a try.

Warsaw Praga - the other side of the river

Have you ever joined a free walking tour to discover a new city? Just do so, it's more alternative than commercial ones. And have you ever joined an even more alternative tour? In Warsaw it's possible. The guide takes you to the "most dangerous" part of the city, to Praga, a district on the other side of the river. Praga is one of Warsaw's precious historic districts. After world war II this part was ignored by politicians and inhabitants. But now Praga is slowly reintegrated into the city. At least, people living there got a metro station and a shopping mall. Well, it's a start.

It's only a 15-minute walk from the beautiful restored old town, but you feel like far far away. Convince yourself and see some pictures.

A sense of Easter everywhere

"Easter flowers" and unlimited creativity. Cosy toilette of a bar in Kazimierz, Jewish district and hipster area in Kraków.
