Krakow Travel Guide

Krakow is Poland's ace I think... spend time here... other than taking in its historical importance (though it was not razed like Warsaw was in WW-II, it has the most haunting Nazi camps nearby in Auschwitz and Birkenau)... the city is beautiful ... its central square Rynek Glowny is among Europe's largest and liveliest and most photogenic, with a market place building within the square ... and the restaurants, cafes and shops lining the square offer good treats ... especially check out the jazz clubs here that really liven up in the night with good bands...Jagiellonian University here is famous and worth a visit... and there are numerous excursions you can take from here ... into the salt mines, the Zakopane resorts and some nearby cities ... stay at the University-linked Nawojka if you can ... eat at the joints in the central square or in the many streets flowing off the square...
