Kraków


Anyone who values art nouveau or the paintings of Gustav Klimt should be prepared to be dazzled. Step inside and travel back 100 years. The traditional Polish food, like Kraków-style duck, is nothing to sneeze at either, and the daily lunch specials (32zł) are excellent value. Eat out on the main square in nice weather.
