Krakow - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?
Not in the traditional sense, though you can find cool modern artists and some vintage furniture. Beware of antiques that may have been originally owned by Jewish families - the reality of the Holocaust is still very salient here, and you won't be allowed to export anything that may have tangible national heritage value. - Jun 2024
