I used Nomax to find companions for exploring the Wawel Castle and Royal Cathedral. It made the history come alive having people to discuss it with.
Through Nomax, I joined a pub crawl in Kazimierz. It was a fantastic way to experience Krakow's nightlife and meet incredible people from all over the world.
