Overall

Krakow is full of wonderful buildings and friendly, helpful people. Accomodation and food are good value for money and flights from the UK are cheap. Winter is very cold so be warned! Auschwitz - Birkenau is an hours journey (take the bus - it's cheaper and quicker) West of the city and is a must visit. Oskar Schindler's factory is a short walk South of the city and many of the locations used by Spielberg for his film can be seen around the same area. There is an excellent 'Rough Guide' available for the city and Krakow is actually quite small so getting around isn't a problem. I'm looking forward to going back this Winter!
