Krakow, Poland's cultural capital city, has been around for 750 years. But while the city has a great Old Europe feel and a great castle and market square, Krakow is also known for its live music venues. Visitors can also study more recent history through the Jewish District and Jewish Museum. Visitors can stay in small boutique hotels, large luxury hotels and budget-friendly hostels and inns. Local cuisine still dominates the restaurant scene and Ancora is the best place to try it.
Budapest has something for everyone. The opera, the cool art galleries and museums, the spa-like bath houses and the wild nightlife make this city well worth a visit.
