    A vibrant city rich in culture, art, entertainment and superb architecture, there is so much to enjoy here and at very reasonable prices.

    However, if you intend travelling around and do not speak Polish you will not find it easy to purchase tickets at the railway station. I found the booking office staff singularly unhelpful and when I did eventually manage to obtain a ticket for my journey to Auschwitz it turned out to be invalid for the train I had specified. And there are strict on-the-spot financial penalties for those found in possession of an invalid ticket - 75 zlotys (15GBP).

    So take my tip save yourself time and trouble and stick to the hotel excursions. You will be glad you did.
