Great city to spend time in generally strolling around, but Wawel castle and Kazimierz spring to mind in town. I've been a few times but never went to the out of town tourist spots which are mainly the salt mines and Auschwitz.

Salt mines are supposed to be pretty awesome and I would've liked to have gone but never had time, heard it gets busy though, so getting an organised tour will potentially prevent a few hours of queuing.

Yup, went with work 3 years ago. Very nice city, a lot like Prague, but cheaper still. Didn't spend to long outside the hotel but saw enough to want to go back for a holiday at some point. We have an office out there too so the opportunity to visit again may raise it's head.

I was in the Salt Mines when Miss Poland was having its regional finals hosted there.

True story.

But is it worth a visit without miss Poland?

[Nathan]

Yes, it was a good tour

I went in February a couple of years ago and got flu cos it was bloody cold Auschwitz was an essential IMO and the guided tour was excellent.

We hired a car and had a look around as I don't think there's that much to do actually in Krakow. Beautiful city though and cheap too.
