Krakow's airport (Pope John Paul II Airport) which is served from the UK by easyJet and British Airways.
The airport is about 11k from the city and there is a nearby train station from which you can travel cheaply in a journey taking about 15 minutes. I made the mistake of walking from Krakow station to my accommodation (it did not look very far on the map!) and I regretted hauling luggage over cobbled streets.

Advantages: Beautiful Historic City, Cheap Food and Drink, Cellar Bars, Biggest Square in Europe, Good position in Eurpoe so there are many opportunities for travel. Disadvantages: The Traffic
***WHERE IS KRAKOW?***
I visited Krakow in September 2006 and spent 7 days there in total. Krakow is a medieval city in southern Poland.

, bath foam/shower gel and body cream, a shower cap, nail file, sewing kit and shoe shine.
The main feature of the rooms is that they include wooden shutters instead of curtains which are extremely effective at blacking out the room.
Internet Access
High-speed Internet access is available in all rooms. It costs £14.99 for 24 hours or £75.00 for a week.
Price
The hotel can be very expensive if you just turn up and ask for a room so it is best to pre-book or keep an eye out for the many deals that HolidayInn offers on its website or in the national press. I usually pay between £50 and £75 per room per night which includes a substantial breakfast, although the hotel regularly offers a deal over a weekend where you get two nights bed and breakfast and one dinner for two people for approximately £99 per room per night.
