8 days in Krakow Itinerary

One of Poland's oldest cities, Krakow sits at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, its historical town center nestled on the left bank of the Vistula River.

Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine will appeal to history buffs. Wawel Royal Castle and Muzeum Krakowa, oddzial Fabryka Emalia Oskara Schindlera are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Venture out of the city with trips to Niedzica Castle (Zamek w Niedzicy) (in Niedzica), Silesia City Center (in Katowice) and Termy Bukovina (in Bukowina Tatrzanska). And it doesn't end there: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Wawel Cathedral, contemplate the long history of Sukiennice (Cloth Hall), indulge in some personalized pampering at Hammam Shahrazad, and take an in-depth tour of Jagiellonian University - Collegium Maius.
