Krakow is a fantastic place. I spent almost and entire week here exploring. Lots of tours available and Auschwitz is close. Plenty of delicious food and beer joints!
Krakow Pocket Guide
Remarkably unscathed during both World Wars, and extremely pleasing on the eye, it's no wonder that Krakow is Poland's most visited city. The Polish capital until 1596, the cobbled squares, churches and mosques, and gothic architecture are what draw thousands of visitors year after year. Krakow also boasts countless jazz clubs, whetting the appetite of live music lovers from both home and abroad.

Pretty Town
I really like Krakow. There wasn't a lot to do, but we found plenty to do for the few days we were there. Going out to the concentration camps was a must. It was interesting and eerie. The food was also really good and really cheap. It also seemed like a huge party town.

I love Krakow
Krakow was amazing and very easy to walk around. It isn't not very big, but there is a good amount to see.
Insider Tip:I would recommend seeing the Wawel Castel, go to Auschwitz and Birkenau as a day trip but leave on the early one so you are back to enjoy the city a bit more. Spend more than 2 days there! Eat the desserts and get a Zapiekanka. Try the Polish food!

Gem of a city
Really pretty and lots of stuff to do in and around. Lots of nightlife if you're into that too. It didnt get bombed during WWII so none of that rebuilding like in Warsaw (which is quite ugly and depressing anyway)
