Kraków's Old Town sits inside a ring of park where the walls used to be, and almost everything worth seeing is inside it or a tram ride away. It is one of the better value city breaks in Europe: a central room here costs a third of the same thing in Vienna. Kazimierz, the old Jewish quarter, is where the evenings happen.
Per night for two adults, taxes and fees included where the property reports them. Based on the 315 bookable properties we found for a two-night midweek stay a month ahead.
