Kraków is a beautiful place with many things to see, all within walking distance for those who can handle walking for a few hours to sightsee the city. If not, there are many tours available by foot, vehicle, and bike. Enjoy!

Krakow is a beautiful city and the people are extremely friendly. The dollar goes a long way here. You can have an amazing dinner that would cost $200+ in the USA but only costs $75 in Krakow.
