There's a lot more to Krakow than just the Old Town and bars and cafes.

Sorry but it is actually a pretty crappy piece of advertising. If thats all AA can think of, Vodka, when it comes to advertising its new service to Krakow, than they have a problem.
Google top ten things to do in Krakow. Interesting in that drinking Vodka isnt one of them. Shame on AA. Very sloppy work.

terefere wrote:And the reason has nothing to do with Poles being "offended" by associations with vodka, or the heritage of vodka, but with the amount of tourists who come for cheap booze AND cause trouble. Krakow had close to 14 million tourists last year and like any tourist city, there has been some backlash against certain kind of tourists. That's it. You're all reading too much into it.
