City
Krakow
Poland
Krakow is Poland's cultural jewel — a medieval Old Town that survived WWII intact, anchored by Europe's largest market square. The Wawel Castle, Jewish Quarter (Kazimierz), and Wieliczka Salt Mine are world-class, and the city is famously affordable. A sobering but essential day trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau adds historical weight.
