Insight Guides: Explore Krakow: The best routes around the city (Insight Explore Guides)

A youthful, dynamic city that also passionately preserves its heritage, Krakow offers everything from medieval sights, hearty food and a grid of eminently strollable narrow streets. Explore Krakow is part of a brand-new series and is the perfect pocket companion for your trip: a full-colour guide containing 16 easy-to-follow routes, taking in all of the classic sights, such as St Mary's Basilica and Wawel Castle, alongside a fascinating Jewish quarter, bohemian caf�s, and, further afield, the poignant Auschwitz. Insight's trademark cultural coverage perfectly sets the routes in context, with introductions to Krakow's cuisine and shopping possibilities, as well the low-down on its nightlife, the liveliest in all of Poland. Hand-picked places to eat and drink are highlighted in each route and in the directory section, which contains a wealth of useful practical information including a language guide, as well as a range of carefully selected hotels to suit all budgets. All routes are plotted on the useful pull-out map, and the stunning photography captures the essence of Krakow.
