PRAGUE & KRAKOW???!!!?

There are few Afro-Americans in Kraków. Most of the black people in Poland are Africans who have come to study and decided to stay. And you go to Kraków for history, not for amusement park entertainment. The places to see are: Wawel Castle and Cathedral, Old Market with the St. Mary's Church and its altar carved of wood, the Czartoryski Museum with the only Leonardo painting in Poland, the Jewish district of Kazimierz. A bit south of Kraków: the salt mine (museum) in Wieliczka. And to the West, if you feel like it: Nazi German Auschwitz death camp of WWII (the locality is called Oświęcim). But one day is far from enough.
