hi we stayed at the Royal just near Wawel castle - there was a bar and food there which seemed decently priced - the main square will be a little dearer - but not overly priced IMHO - we did the Camp tour but if I were to go again we would go on the train and take our time ( the tour bit was very rushed - then we just walked around Krakow the see what we could -

Enjoy

In Your Pocket has an online and print guide to Krakow, I found that it had great information and as mentioned above there is a travel guide here, there was a big VT meeting in Krakow in 2010 so there should be a lot of information on here

The 2 daytrips that most people take with a limited amount of time in Krakow are the salt mines and Auschwitz, both are easy to get to on your own.

For Polish food I really enjoyed U Babci Maliny, there are multiple locations throughout town, this was the location I liked best

For a fairly comprehensive selection of eateries, including street eats, visit my page - http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/9d51c/77aeb/2/

And for night life - http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/9d51c/77aeb/5/

Obviously these are my personal opinions but the price guides are accurate and they'll give you an idea of the variety on offer.

Krakow is a lovely city, with a vast amount to see and explore. As Dabs notes, the two major 'trips out' are Auschwitz and the salt mine, but the city itself holds more than enough for 4 days.

Make sure you allow plenty of time to explore Kazimierz, the Jewish ghetto area during the war. It is undergoing substantial restoration nd is a fascinating, and deeply evocative, place.

I like the Georgian 'fast food' restaurants:

Do make sure you try several varieties of flavoured vodka. Cherry vodka accompanying a coffee is exceptionally warming on a chilly day! :-)
