FAQs

3-4 days is ideal to see the main sights. This allows time for Old Town, Wawel Castle, and a day trip to Auschwitz or the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
Yes, English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants. Many younger Poles speak good English, but learning a few Polish phrases is appreciated.
The easiest ways are by train (20 minutes), airport shuttle bus (40 minutes), or taxi (20-30 minutes). The train is generally the quickest and most cost-effective option.
