Located just outside Kraków in the Województwo małopolskie region of Poland, Skansen Smakow offers an authentic immersion into Polish culture through its Wieczór Folk Show Antresola bez transferu. This evening event unfolds at Cholerzyn 424, where locals and visitors gather for more than a dinner—they participate in a lively celebration of Poland’s rich folk heritage.
Set in a traditional karczma-style venue, the Folk Show features a Krakow-based folk ensemble performing age-old songs and dances that carry the spirit of Polish countryside life. The sounds of violins, accordions, and heartfelt vocals fill the space, inviting everyone to engage with the country’s deep-rooted musical traditions.
Alongside these performances, guests indulge in a meticulously prepared three-course meal showcasing signature Polish dishes like żurek—a sour rye soup with potatoes and smoked sausage—and kotlet schabowy, a breaded pork cutlet served with roasted potatoes and cabbage. The meal culminates with warm apple szarlotka paired with ice cream, offering a familiar, comforting finish. Beyond the plated dinner, an unlimited buffet brims with traditional delicacies: pickled cucumbers, smalec pork spread, grilled meats, pierogi, and more, alongside free-flowing coffee, tea, wine, beer, and kompot juice.
