A medieval market square, Wawel Castle and mountain hikes around Zakopane.

Kraków’s old town and main market square are among Europe’s most beautiful, with Wawel Castle, the Kazimierz quarter and the Wieliczka salt mine nearby; a visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial is sobering and important. Zakopane is the gateway to hikes in the Tatra Mountains.
