Romantic dinner at Aquarius on Krakow’s riverfront, then a 30-minute Vistula cruise with big Wawel Castle views and a 5-course meal.
“The Aquarius restaurant was a lovely setting and the staff were excellent. The food was very good, almost exactly as described in GYG, and portions sizes were quite generous. The boat ride (which we had between the cheese and beef tartare courses) was fun and made better by the fact that we were the only ones on it so had our own private trip! There isn’t a huge amount to see and we couldn’t really hear the recorded tour guide but we still really enjoyed it with our glasses of Prosecco. Ordinarily would have said a bit pricy for what it was but because we got a private boat trip…”
