Cracow

I found this to be a well laid out directory of Cracow. There are not as many books/guides available about Poland as I would like but I found this one to be quite beautiful, helpful and would recommend it.

We got this a month before leaving. It is a typical Eyewitness product...beautifully illustrated, has a time line, walking tours and great maps of the city. It is logically put together. These guides are one of our constant traveling companions., where ever and when ever we travel.

Krakow is a very beatiful, historic City and this guide greatly enhanced our enjoyment of it. EXCELLENT ORGANIZATION AND CONTENT. Eyewitess Travel Guides are very good because they cover so many areas (history, architecture, planning, maps where to stay & eat, etc.) with excellent pictures and other graphics. The organization of the Eyewitness guides gives a quick overview of the city or country and helps to view a city or country by making it very easy to identify sites and buildings. The Eyewitness Guides facilitate touring by superb organization of maps, drawings, pictures and descriptions so that sigificant points of interest and sites are easily idenfied. They give alot of info, but are not too long. And I keep them as good references in contrast to many touring guides that I immediately discard after I have seen the area they cover. In other words, the content does not justify carrying the additional weight. The Krakow guide is one of the best in the series. My biggest negative of the book is that it spells Krakow with the letter "c," not "k."

I have several of these travel guides by DK. They are the best in the business. The guides are filled with lots of information and beautiful color photos. They contain not too lenghthy descriptions of points of interest with an abundance of historical background. This guide is ideal for today's harried tourist with limited time.I recommend their guides to all my friends.
