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)
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.

Excellent weekend away
Krakow is quite the royal city. Between a free walking tour at 11am in front of St. Mary's Church, a night out with friends in Kazimierz and pierogi at 24 hour Zapiecek on Slawkowska, you will have the experience of a life time.
Insider Tip:1. Best Polish Food: Babcia Malina 2. Best Place to Drink with locals: Pijalnia Wodki i Piwo on Sw. Tomasz 3. Best place to splurge on a meal: Aperitif on Sienna or Restaracja Augusta on the river. 4. Best cake and tea place: Nowa Prowincja on Bracka 5. Best Museums: Schindler, MOCAK, and the Underground Museum

Krakow is the best city in europe!
Krakow have tourism and night life at the same time. So, if you want to go to Auschwitz, visit the salt mine, or the castle or the jewish quarter, you can do it by the day. And in the night, there are plenty bars and clubs to go. Polish people are always kind with you. Food is very good and they have so many different types of vodka that you would not believe it! I have visited krakow twice already, and i want to come again! Architecture is great!
