I echo this. I was in Poland in September - loved it. Krakow was as expected (awesome), but we especially loved Wroclaw (vrots-woff, Polish is weird!). Great city, a bit cheaper, and the gnomes were really cool.

And Auschwitz...ya...an absolute must do. Sobering, haunting, terrifying.

The train to Wroclaw was the absolute sketchiest train I've ever been on, and the train station we left from near the Czech/Polish border was reminiscent of a concentration camp itself. Was a really neat experience in itself though.
