Krakow, Poland
per person
From the Wawel Castle and Florian Gate, to Pałac Biskupów Krakowskich (the former home of Pope John Paul II), Krakow's Old Town is a must for all visitors. Featuring classic architecture, winding roads and cafes, there's something for everyone. Head to St Mary's Basilica to admire the intricate designs of the two-towered landmark, Ojców National Park to reconnect with nature, or simply sit in a cafe or restaurant in the 13th-century main square and watch the world pass you by. Krakow has also garnered quite a reputation as a party capital and for good reason! Clubs, bars and pubs of every variety keep the fun going throughout the night so whether you prefer a tall pint of Poland’s best beers or a chilled shot of vodka to keep the fun coming, you’ll be happy here. Those looking to go a little deeper are well-advised to visit the Auschwitz – Birkenau Museum for an emotionally-stirring trip through a haunting moment in history. Alternatively, literally go deeper with a tour of the city’s magical salt mines. Explore a breathtaking 3.5km network of tunnels running beneath Krakow and feel like you’ve entered another world as you happen upon underground chapels, lakes and complex devices. Whatever you decide to do, this unique city will surely leave a lasting impression
