Going to Poland in July with a tour group. I will have one free afternoon in Warsaw, one free afternoon in Krakow, and one free day in Zakopane. Any suggestions, tips, and/or advice?

In Warsaw, I would stroll around the Old Town. Check out the E. Wedel chocolate shop and try a hot chocoloate (it's amazing!). If you have extra time, you can also visit Lazienki Park - it's really peaceful and lovely, and has peacocks and a Chopin statute (along with summer concerts, which are a treat). In Krakow, same thing - stroll around, visit the beautiful churches, hang out in the medieval square, visit Wawel Castle if you have extra time. It doesn't sound like you have a whole lot of time, so strolling around in all three is probably your best option. Also, look on Trip Advisor to see what sites strike your fancy the most - there are too many interesting things to mention.
