Certainly not in the same league as Krak?w. When I went there I stayed in a Holiday Inn--I am not that adventureous with hotels, I like to know exactly what I am getting. You may also go to Czestochowa, 70 km away (buses from Krak?w), Poland's holiest shrine. You will get a good idea of the wealth and influence of the Catholic church there. You may want to check out flights if you do not feel like spending 24 hours on trains--there are several low-cost airlines that fly into Krak?w and other Polish cities these days. But if you do travel by land, then a visit to the northern coast of Germany or Poland is worth the trouble--L?beck is an extremely lovely town.
