We love to hear how all our customers got on while on holidays and encourage everyone to send in customer reviews to let us know how their Click&Go experience went. AJ spent a few nights in Krakow, Poland and enjoyed his trip and dealing with Click&Go.

Here’s what he had to say.

Quick Click to Go…!

We’re just back from a wonderful four days in Krakow, Poland. Usually, we visit a European city for a long weekend early in the year. To be able to book both flight and hotel together was a plus, especially as the accommodation was of a much higher standard than expected.

Krakow is our first experience of Poland. It’s a stunning city and all attractions are within walking distance. The cafe culture has been alive and kicking here for over a century with a huge variety of locations to get your caffeine fix and a cake to remember.

Chocolatiers dot the city often in tandem with cafes and Parisians and Viennese folk would be impressed by their offerings. Much of our time was spent in the vast Old Square with its plethora of majestic buildings and the absence of traffic makes it doubly desirable. Krakow wasn’t bombed during World War 2 though the horrors of Auschwitz is only 40 miles away.

The enormous Wawel Castle is a major focal point and this together with many beautiful churches and other historical buildings gives you plenty to explore. There are electric taxis should the weather turn wet or if you’re just feeling lazy. Your Euro goes far further here and eating out costs about a third less than at home in Ireland.

A visit to Schindler’s factory made famous by the Stephen Spielberg movie is a must. It’s now a museum that features much more than the story of a German entrepreneur saving lives and gives a great insight into the war from every perspective. A monster shopping centre at the main train station which dwarfs even Dundrum will satisfy all buying needs.

The highlight of our visit was a guided tour of Auschwitz. We were picked up by bus from our hotel and given a remarkable insight over several hours into the plight of the 1.3 million victims.  It’s not for everyone but for those debating whether to go, it has to be said that the tour is carried out in a very respectful and dignified way. Most of the structures are as they were 67 years ago and seeing the detailed prison records and artefacts is jaw-dropping.

Our hotel was minutes from the Central Station and is probably the best three star we’ve stayed in.  Staff were extremely attentive and helpful. Our room was spotless, airy and warm. Breakfast with fresh bread, five cheeses, yoghurts, juices, fruit, eggs, sausages and rashers kept us going until well into the afternoon.

This was our first Aer Lingus flight in two years and we had forgotten how friendly and enthusiastic the staff are. A bus at the airport takes you the short distance to the train which moves you into Krakow swiftly and you pay your fare on board.

It was colder than expected though the great welcome, hassle-free travel and stay left us fully relaxed with any warm memories. Click&Go does exactly what it says on the tin plus you’ll be surprised at the value you get.
