Kraków escaped the flattening of WWII largely intact, so its medieval market square, Wawel Castle and the Jewish quarter of Kazimierz are the real thing, not reconstructions. It's a compact, walkable Old Town ringed by the Planty park gardens, with a nightlife scene of candlelit cellar bars packed into former merchant basements. Podgórze across the river, once the Nazi-era ghetto and site of Schindler's Factory, adds a heavier, essential layer of history to the postcard prettiness.

Desplazarsethe Old Town and Kazimierz are entirely walkable; trams cover the wider city cheaply and reliably; Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Wieliczka Salt Mine are common day trips by bus or organised tour rather than on foot
Dónde alojarsethe Old Town (Stare Miasto) for the market square, Wawel Castle and maximum walkability; Kazimierz for a quieter, atmospheric Jewish quarter with its own bar and gallery scene, a 10-15 minute walk from the centre; Podgórze for a cheaper, more residential base near the Schindler's Factory museum
Quizás salte siJuly and August visitors expecting a quiet Old Town — it's the busiest, hottest and rainiest stretch of the year
