Today we are joined by Marta Chmielowska of Rick Steve's fame and our driver Chester's wife. She spent the entire day walking us around the city and showing us the most famous sights in town. She is delightful and filled with stories about Krakow. She was born and raised in this town of 700,000 people - of which 200,000 are students! This diversity gives the town its buzz and energy. People are everywhere you go.
We returned to the Jewish Quarter to begin our day visiting the area that Karimierz the Great built and later became home to the Jews. It was originally an island and fortified with its own walls. Today, it is home to popular pubs, restaurants and shops.
