In the beginning of May appear three important holidays in Poland. 1st May-Labor Day and International Workers’ Day. May 2 –Flag Day, and May 3-Constitution Day. It’s a time to remind ourselves turbulent polish history. If you visit Krakow in this time, expect crowds in the streets, especially on May 3rd. It’s one of the most festive national holidays in Poland. Mass with cardinal, procession, orchestras, military parade with Mounted Cavalry.
Majowka is a term to call this three holidays. For some people it’s a time of manifesting. For others- longer weekend, perfect for city break. Anyway, for visitors it’s an opportunity to learn more about polish history, culture and society. Remember that most of shops, museums and restaurants are closed 1st and 3rd of May. Most noteworthy, it reminds about regaining freedom.
