It comes off your final price, and is refunded in full if you don't go ahead.
Sit at a café on Kraków's market square, one of the largest medieval squares in Europe, and each hour a trumpeter plays from the tower of St Mary's Basilica. Wawel Castle stands above the river a short walk away, and Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine hangs in the Czartoryski Museum. South of the city, the Wieliczka salt mine has a chapel carved entirely of salt.
Warsaw's Old Town was rebuilt so carefully after the war that it is now UNESCO listed, and today the capital has galleries and restaurants in old courtyards. Gdańsk, on the Baltic, has tall merchant houses along the Motława river and amber shops on Mariacka Street. Beech and pine forests fill the country between the three cities.
