If you’re thinking of a continental excursion this winter, one place to head for culinary delights is Kraków. This picturesque city is at its best when covered in a thick blanket of snow and what better way to warm up than with a comforting plate of traditional pierogies. Monocle’s Flynn Symonds shows us his favourite spots in the city.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
