A few words on Krakow
Poland's royal soul, remarkably intact.
Krakow was Poland's capital for five centuries, and unlike Warsaw it was spared wartime destruction, which means you can walk streets that look largely as they did in the 15th century. The Rynek Glowny, the main market square, is the largest medieval market square in Europe and still genuinely alive, with the 14th-century Cloth Hall at its centre and the Wawel Castle looming up on its limestone hill to the south.
Kazimierz, the old Jewish quarter, was home to one of the most important Jewish communities in Europe before the Second World War.
Today it holds a complicated mixture of memorial spaces, synagogues, cemeteries, and a neighbourhood that has become one of the most creative parts of the city, with Plac Nowy functioning as the social hub for students and locals every evening. The proximity of Schindler's enamel factory and Auschwitz-Birkenau makes the weight of that history impossible to sidestep.

Krakow FAQ
Before you walk.
Krakow Glowny train station is directly adjacent to the old town, separated by the Planty park gardens. A ten-minute walk through the Planty puts you at the Florian Gate, the medieval northern entrance to the city. Trams and buses serve most of the wider city, and the old town itself is pedestrianised.
The old town and Kazimierz are largely flat and very walkable. Wawel Hill involves a modest climb, but the route up is paved and straightforward. The route along the Vistula riverbank between the two neighbourhoods is level and particularly pleasant in good weather.
Auschwitz-Birkenau is about 70km west of Krakow and is a separate full-day commitment, not a short side trip. Buses and organised tours depart from Krakow's main bus station. Entry to the site is free but pre-booking a guided tour time slot is mandatory and should be done weeks in advance. It is not something to combine with a city walking tour on the same day.
Absolutely. The app saves your position so you can stop anywhere and resume later. The Rynek Glowny area has endless cafes and restaurants, and a quick detour to a milk bar for pierogi or zurek soup takes maybe thirty minutes. The narrow Ulica Florianska has several good spots for a mid-tour coffee.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
