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.

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
