Stary Port Krakow

Old tavern in old city

Zuzanna from Krakow

About me I come from Krakow and spent most of my life here. I grew up in Nowa Huta - East district of Krakow. I studied (of course) in Krakow and even if I moved away a few times, I've always come back. I love travelling and exploring new places. This may be a reason why I studied tourism and why I keep learning foreign languages. I already know some Russian and French and I am ...
""Stary Port" Krakow is a bar that makes me feel like I've boarded a ship, given the sailor music and mysterious atmosphere..."

It was said once that there are two ports in Poland – Gdynia and Kraków. That may explain why such a famous tavern has opened right here. Located just a few steps from Main Market Square, "Stary Port" is probably the only place in Kraków with the unique climate of an old tavern.

Each time I'm here, I feel like I've boarded a ship, which can take me to any place on earth that I can imagine. I enjoy the music of sailors (which is the most common music here), chatting with my friends. This is a great place to hang out with friends - not too loud, not too bright - with its special mysterious climate.

"Old port" in the middle of our historical city centre gathers the biggest fans of sailing in one area. The pub organizes a lot of events, such as shanty music concerts, where you can not only listen to music of sailors, but also sing along with its fans.

It offers a wide range of toasts (Captain's toast is my favourite), so you don't need to worry in case you get hungry. Looking for a company to take you on that cruise you've always dreamt of? This is the best place to find one! You'll find a lot of different advertisements all across the club, just take the contact details with you.

About me I come from Krakow and spent most of my life here. I grew up in Nowa Huta - East district of Krakow. I studied (of course) in Krakow and even if I moved away a few times, I've always come back. I love travelling and exploring new places. This may be a reason why I studied tourism and why I keep learning foreign languages. I already know some Russian and French and I am happy when I can practise them. I love good food, good company and wandering without a goal around the streets of my city. My first love is Krakow, my second one is Lisbon (a...

Spoko

All good in the hood

A pub as local as "Spoko" is hard to find. in Krakow. Many of its products (like the amazing bagels) come from around the area, and the coffee is great, too.
