    Ok so strange title.
    I've been here 4/5 times over the past 3/4 years .
    Great bar to chill out in day time , especially in the summer when it's hot . Fully a/c with minimalist atmosphere...also
    Cheap for drinks .
    Hidden away from the main hustle and bustle so great for a breather and a regathering of your thoughts , you will have to look to find it as it's not easy to locate.
    I sat in here and it was just me for over 3 hours . Just couldnt muster the energy to start life again.
    Night time gets manic , the outside area is a courtyard and hosts parties etc ..

    Dolce Vita is a funny pub/disco nicely located in Kazimierz, closeby other bars for a pub crawl, but still walking distance to the city centre.

    The bar has a great choice of music from newer radio songs to 70s-80s-90s hits, but also French and Dutch chansons, and even older disco polo and other famous polish songs like 'kawiarenki'.

    It's a family-run bar so they are rather relaxed about the closing hour and allow you to choose your own music and do karaoke at will. Funny, older staff create a unique atmosphere of banter and bar chitchat where everyone is welcome when coming solo or in a group. The bar area is nice and relatively quiet while the dance room behind offers louder dance music. There is a smoking room upstairs somewhere.

    Every time I go there, it is slightly different because the guests vary from older casuals to tourists and fancy groups. The age groups also vary greatly.

    Recently, the bar has been popular for bday parties so it's closed some weekends and it's best to call in advance, make sure it's open.

    I go to this place regularly with my friends, we organise events or just drink and chat; even for foreigners it's one of the most interesting venues in Krakow. Strongly recommended!!!

Has anyone done both tours before?
Do you think the former is worth doing?

I have done the tour with a guide - so i guess techncially i have gone on the "General tour 3.5h" or something similar, but i am only at Auschwitz 1 for 1.5h, and then we rushed to Auschwitz 2-Birkenau for 1h. i recently went on a organized tour from Krakow bc i couldnt secure guided tour ticket at the last minute from the website. but i think my guide may a person in training (?) cos he was guiding us with an Auschwitz educator standing beside him all the time. I still couldnt figure out whether he is a new guide in training within Auschwitz, or he needs to be chaperoned bc he is a guide hired from the 'outside' (ie not someone hired by the Aushcwitz site). I am inclined to believe it is the latter, but not sure, so would appreciate anyone with better insights. So this means there could be 2 diff guides - one is a tour agency guide from the outside, and another is a Auschwitz educator guide?
Answer: for future readers - I did the 6 hour tour and it is a better pace,smaller group and you visit a few more places in the camps. Our guide was very good. Worthwhile if you have more than a passing interest in the history. We were at Auschwitz for 3 hours and birkenau for 2.25 hours. Crowds were smaller that day so we didn’t have to stop to wait for other groups. I then returned to Auschwitz around 4pm to walk through on my own and to visit some of the country specific exhibits - Hungary’s exhibit is especially good. In order to return to camp 1, I purchased free tickets ahead of time since you have to renter the queue.

Tour vs self guided - 100% go on a tour. The guides paint a more complete picture than you will get from a guidebook. You can arrive early if you want to see birkenau before it gets crowded and walk on your own. No ticket is required to visit birkenau.

Auschwitz vs birkenau - you want to see both. Auschwitz is more intact and has almost all of the exhibits. The exhibits of luggage,eyeglasses, shoes, and human hair is overwhelming. Birkenau is 25x the size of Auschwitz camp 1. Many buildings were destroyed but you can get a better feel for the scale of the genocide. Even with most buildings destroyed you get a chill realizing how people were sorted and put to death. Many times within hours of arrival.

Krakow ghetto - to round out your experience walk through the ghetto and Jewish quarter. Visit the synagogues. Realize the size of the Jewish community that thrived in this area and then 90% of them were killed.

Last - learn about the history that led up to the holocaust. Hitler did not rise up in a vacuum. There were 20 years of anti-semitism that occurred before the death camps. The nazis were very good at isolating Jews, cutting them off from day to day community and business involvement and then eventually shipped them off to forced labor and death. Awareness of that history will help prevent this from ever happening again.
