Two days in the city — the Market Square, Wawel, then Kazimierz and Podgórze, the Jewish quarter and the ghetto — and three out of it. Auschwitz needs a whole day and shouldn't be chained to anything else; the Wieliczka mine is half a day underground; and the last day to the mountains, to lake Morskie Oko in the Tatras.

💡Winter is genuinely cold, and it's still the best time to come
December to February goes below zero and sometimes below minus ten. But the square under snow and the Christmas market are worth the coat. Thermals, and shoes with grip on ice.
💡You pay in złoty, and it's one of the cheapest capitals in Europe
There's no euro here. Pay by card in złoty and always refuse when the terminal offers to charge you in euros. Dinner with a beer in Kazimierz costs half what it does in any western capital.
💡The milk bar is what to look for if you want to eat cheap
They're canteens left over from the communist era, with a set lunch for four euros and genuinely home-style food. You order at the counter and carry your own tray. Ask for pierogi, which is what people eat here.
💡Auschwitz is booked months ahead, and entry is free
The individual unguided slots go first. Book on the museum's own site, not the ones reselling with transport included. And don't bring a big rucksack: over a certain size they won't let it in.
💡The centre is entirely walkable, ringed by a park
Where the walls stood there is now the Planty, a green belt around the old town: twenty minutes from one end to the other. For Kazimierz and Podgórze, the tram costs under a euro.
