Krakow is famous for its powerful and historic day trips, especially Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Wieliczka Salt Mine. The region also offers mountains, wooden villages and nature escapes for travellers looking to experience more of Poland.
For Auschwitz and the Salt Mine, guided tours are strongly recommended because they include timed entry, transport and licensed guides. Independent travel is possible but requires advance booking and good timing. Mountain or nature tours are usually easier with a guide and transport.
Many travellers join one major day trip and one smaller local trip during a 3 to 4 day stay. For a relaxed activity the following day, consider a gentle river cruise from the Krakow cruise guide.
