Cracovia combina il fascino pittoresco con la grandiosità spaziosa. Rynek Glowny, la più grande piazza del mercato medievale d'Europa, è dominata da gioielli gotici come la Torre del Municipio e la Basilica della Vergine Maria. Il centro storico della capitale, dichiarato Patrimonio dell'Umanità dall'UNESCO, e la collina di Wawel, coronata dall'imponente castello di Wawel, si prestano bene a escursioni a piedi, mentre la vicina miniera di sale di Wieliczka, anch'essa patrimonio dell'umanità, è un'ottima gita di un giorno. Se sei un amante della natura, non perderti un'escursione a Zakopane e ai Monti Tatra, o naviga lungo il pittoresco fiume Dunajec su una zattera di legno. Nella città gotica di Czestochowa, a solo un paio d'ore da Cracovia, troverai il venerato dipinto religioso, La Madonna Nera. L'eredità ebraica di Cracovia è importante e toccante e gli appassionati di storia vorranno prenotare una visita guidata per visitare le tappe essenziali tra cui Kazimierz (l'ex quartiere ebraico), il Museo Oskar Schindler e i campi di concentramento del Memoriale e Museo di Auschwitz-Birkenau. Al contrario, la vita notturna di Cracovia brucia luminosa e il suo centro storico risuona con alcuni dei migliori ristoranti, bar e club della Polonia. Un tour gastronomico serale mette in mostra la cucina polacca e l'atmosfera notturna della città e offre ampie opportunità di concedersi gnocchi, zuppa di segale acida, cinghiale e vodka.
