We added Krakow to our travel 'to do list' when cheap flights (Ryanair) caught our eye back in June. Our knowledge of Krakow's cultural history was fairly limited, so we expanded on this by reading the UNESCO World Heritage site listing and our usual travel forums. On one hand Krakow is known for its pretty architecture that survived the bombings of World War II, however it is also scarred by the horrors that occurred at the nearby Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp - a visit that left us with feelings of sadness and anger.
