    I would not go to Warsaw for a simple reason. Like every other capital city it is overpriced
    Hotels are more expensive than in other cities, lots of traffic, restaurants overpriced, etc etc.

    For sites seeing Krakow would be much bettter. But ... why go to krakow?

    Everyone goes to Krakow.

    I advise to fly to Gdansk and visit 3city - gdansk gdynia sopot and pomerania area.
    Google pictures from those 3 cities. They are beside each other and linked with local dart (skm) plenty of options places and shopping centres too.
    If you need some more information pm me.

    I am currently travelling around Poland and prefer Krakow over Warsaw. Both are great places but Warsaw is more industrial, expensive and takes longer to get around. Krakow is pretty amazing and beats a lot of other European cities I have visited.

    Ask any of the locals though and they will tell you to go to Gdansk. I am heading there tomorrow so looking forward to it

    I think in September Krakow is host to a "sausage dog parade" for Dacshunds. Surreal! :) Wonderful city. I haven't been to any other Polish cities, though, so I can't offer a preference/ comparison.

    Sorry to hijack the thread but I'm going to be in Warsaw for about 2 and a half days of a trip we have planned in mid-November. Main reason we're going to Warsaw is because we have a friend studying over there and we're going to meet up with them after a few days in Berlin. Was a little discouraged to hear not so great things about the city based on past threads on boards but could anyone recommend any thing interesting or fun to do during the days? So far it seems like the only consistent "must do" activities are a trip to the Warsaw Rising museum and a browse around the old town.

    Would it be worth spending one of the days doing a day trip to Krakow with a guided tour of Auschwitz with the option of several hours on your own in Krakow or a personal guide until the train back to Warsaw? I saw a company does this for around €100 - 130 all inclusive. Would it be worth it or would it be cramming too much into a day?
