One of the few Polish cities to avoid getting blown to pieces in WW2 Krakow has much to offer the tourist. The central market square of Rynek Glowny seems to be the place all of Krakow's streets lead to, and with its cafes, bars and restaurants is a great meeting point or starting point for an exploration of this beautiful city. Stray from the well trodden cobbles of the main drags and there are a wealth of hiddens bars, restaraunts and clubs to discover. Those who are looking for something a little different should check out the Wieliczka Salt Mines, dating back to the middle ages the underground shafts are home to fascinating carvings and statues carved from the salt. Dodge the central tourist traps and you'll find your that you budget will stretch a lot further and that you'll discover a taste for the real Krakow.
