Krakow

Wawel Hill with its castle and cathedral is both a place of national pilgrimage and a popular tourist destination.
Lots of steps!
Wawel Cathedral—the Silver Bell Tower is to the left; the small golden dome is that of the Sigismund Chapel.
The tiered arcades of Sigismund I Stary's Renaissance courtyard within Wawel Castle
St. Peter and Paul church
Pope John Paul II, their beloved Polish Pope.
Shindler's enamal factory with display of photos of Jewish people Shindler employed.
Wieliczka Salt Mine, opened in the 13th century, the mine produced table salt continuously until 2007, as one of the world's oldest salt mines in operation. Everything in the mine are carved in salt: statues, chandeliers, chapel altar,etc. Magnificent!
Nice dinner with goulash and Phillippino Canadian travelers to end the day.
