  • Auschwitz is worth a visit, it is however a pretty depressing day out. Make sure you give yourself enough time as I had to cut my visit short to catch the bus back to the city.

    I felt that the Wawel castle was a waste of money, it is ok to go up and see but to pay to look inside was boring and nothing special - we have plenty of better castles in the UK - it is more like a stately home than a castle.

    I was also a little disappointed by wielicka, but I have visited plenty of caves and mines so I was expecting something extraordinary.

    Best thing to do in Kraków? Walk around absorb the culture, go find a little cafe and have a quiet coffee. Sit in the main square and look around for british people shaming our country on their stag nights!(I live in Poland and it is a popular topic over here to talk about how bad our manners are in their cities)

    Kazimierz is worth it. I'm headed there in 3 weeks for the marathon and to meet some friends so I'll have to do some more sightseeing there.
