The best is to create collateral pages for people looking for excursions and to create
small groups.
I spend quite a lot of time in Poland, but I visit the country thanks to a Polish friend,
without him I would get lost quickly.
Krakow is quite touristic and in the town is sufficient to speak English, Katowice is a
big commercial town and English is quite common but out of the big towns the use of
English is not so widespread.
I went to the salt mine of Wieliczka by public transportation (I recommend too) but it was
overcrowded (in October) and thanks to him I avoided a lot of queues and problems with the
tickets.
Consider that these touristic points can be really overcrowded in August.
Kind regards

Hello,
For these planning to go — it can be an emotional experience, plan a whole day for it. It
takes a while to visit (there are 2 locations) and you might have a depressing feeling for
the rest of the day until you regain faith in humanity. This is why others recommend it as
an individual experience.

If anyone is interested in going with a group of
Wikimedians, please feel
free to get in touch with me. If there are a few of us we could coordinate
plans.
Thanks for checking! I'm interested in joining, especially if it's on
August 6 or 11 (to minimise chances of conflicts with other last-minute
side events). The page
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2024:Related_events> doesn't exist
yet, it would be good to create it as soon as some tentative date is chosen.
Federico
