Visit Apartment Limona website | Contact us Krakow is lively all year round but in summer the riverside really comes into its own, with boat trips on the River Wisla, cycling along the river bank, and hovering over the water in balloon heaven... and all of it happening with the stunning Wawel Castle as a backdrop.   Boats and balloons Boat tours to view the city's riverside architecture come in all shapes and sizes – from half an hour on a small Oriental 'junk' to 3 hours on a paddle steamer replete with bar. And a new addition to the Krakow skyline is the HiFlyer balloon, rising every 15 mins for panoramic views of the Old Town and the Jewish district of Kazimierz. No need to worry either – it's firmly tethered to the ground! See our links page for info.   Cruising Krakow A couple of weeks ago we cycled along the river to the beautiful Benedictine Tyniec Abbey on the comfiest bikes ever – hire by the hour or for £8 per day from Cruising Krakow. Cycle lanes are everywhere in Krakow and even just an hour spent cycling around the wide garden Planty that surrounds the Old Town is a wonderful experience. See our links page for info. The exchange rate means it's excellent value for money at the moment and there are some cracking offers for the summer months from Ryanair (from Stansted) and EasyJet (from Luton). If you'd like to book a stay in our lovely, fully equipped Apartment Limona please contact us for more information.

Focha   EXHIBITION: American Dream 2009 sees the 90th anniversary of diplomatic ties between America and Poland, and the curators have tried to conjure America through the eyes of those who grew up in the communist era, when the prospect of emigration was for many a cherished, but decidedly distant dream. Much space is devoted to the striking imagery of the Photorealists. Until 4th October National Museum, Al. 3 Maja 1   EXHIBITION: Always at Hand This show which spotlights ladies' handbags over the generations, hints at the gradual liberation of women, and how this was reflected in accessories, not least the handbag.

Pijarska 8 34th Music in Old Krakow Festival A first class musical extravaganza featuring distinguished guests from both Poland and abroad.

Each bottle contains a blade of Bison Grass. It smells of freshly mown hay and spring flowers, of thyme and lavender, and it's soft on the palate. It is traditionally consumed neat from the freezer or mixed with apple juice to make a drink called 'Tatanka'. Web: http;//www.apartmentlimona.co.uk E-mail: enquiries@apartmentlimona.co.uk
