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.
