Kraków Encounter Lonely planet

The Encounter guide gives you twice the city in half the time. Wander among the ghosts of kings at mighty Wawel Cathedral, take in cocktails and candlelit jazz in a 700-year-old cavern or hire a bike and explore the Old Town by pedal power - it's all here.

This pared-down number is ideal for quick trips - it's less accommodation, more neighbourhood highlights and the best of local knowledge.
