The Place
Krakow, Poland
City introduction
Poland's preserved royal city — and the day trip every visitor takes. Krakow survived the war intact: Europe's largest medieval square, the Wawel's royal hill, Kazimierz's Jewish quarter reborn in cafés, and the pierogi-and-vodka economy that keeps evenings long. Auschwitz-Birkenau is the solemn day trip most visitors commit to.
