We are going there as well later this year, so I would be interested in any tips too.We are planning a trip to this Polish city later in the year.
Anyone been there? Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance, Gents!

I have been before, but that was more that 20 years ago now. Other than the wonderful city itself if you have time for an excursion or two, the two things I can highly recommend are Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Wieliczka Salt Mine. We are planning to go to both again.
Just the info I needed *rubs hands together*i've been many times - nice city. for shaving gear go to a Rossmans - they sell Polish aftershaves called Bond. it's great stuff and very cheap. there are about 5 or six types with names like Speedracer and Spacequest but don't be put off - it's really good stuff. the Bond sensitive in a blue box smells similar to Chanel Bleu, sunset is similar to farenheit and executive is a traditional manly scent. also Wars shave cream.
I'd recommend buying Rick Steves' guidebook, "Snapshoot: Kraków, Warsaw & Gdansk". we've been using his guidebooks for years and find them the best on the market. They're well organised and thoughtful.
