Kraków is Poland's old royal capital, with a huge market square, Wawel hill and the old Jewish quarter of Kazimierz.
Start at the Main Market Square with the Cloth Hall and St Mary's Basilica, home of Veit Stoss' altar. Walk up to Wawel for the castle and cathedral, then visit the Czartoryski Museum for Leonardo's Lady with an Ermine. In Kazimierz, visit the synagogues and the Galicia Jewish Museum. Eat an obwarzanek, Kraków's ring-shaped bread, from a street cart.
