While Warsaw looks to the future, the hometown of Pope John Paul II holds fast to Poland's great heritage. A city which has been listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to being mostly spared by the devastation of WWII, it is a magnificent place to tour great churches, medieval buildings and wonderous works of the finest architects in history.

Stroll all the way around the Planty Park, which is the site where the moat around the Old Town once protected the citizens within. For a rather unique shopping experience head to the Cloth Guild Hall, which is a phenomenal edifice dedicated to Krakow's merchants and is filled with gifts and odds and ends of every kind.
You don't have to go far when the sun goes down, since the Hall is just off Market Square, which is the size of Venice's Piazza San Marco and amply stocked with bars, cafes, clubs, restaurants and shops to suit every taste and budget. On the evening of the summer solstice join the locals in a festival by the Vistula River featuring a Renaissance market square street performers, gypsy merchants and much more.
