Austrian fortifications, some of them huge, many of them in good condition. An alternative to the usual tourist nonsense and accessible on a bike.
All around the city (start with the two on ul. Kamiena (nowy kleparz) and then head for any one you fancy. They are marked on a good city map. Type tweirdza krakow in google for more.

Actually, you need to google "Twierdza" ... but the forts are worth seeing. The one at the Nowy Kleparz end of ul. Kamienna is a wine store, while there's a friendly coffee roastery in the one at the other end of Kamienna (10min walk) where they'll give you a great cup of coffee if you make it all the way up there.
