Poland
Kraków
Poland's old royal capital: a medieval centre that survived the war intact, a Jewish quarter turned café district, and a Communist-era model town half an hour away by tram.

Wrocław to Kraków by train: five days across southern Poland

Kraków
Kraków in three slow days: Kazimierz, Podgórze and Nowa Huta
