My husband and I have 12 days left in Central/Eastern Europe this June. We will arrive in Krakow for the first of 12 days. My plan was to spend up to four days there including a day trip to Zakopane and another to Auschwitz-Birkenau combined with the Wieliczka Salt Mine. Then, I am uncertain of our next destination. Originally, I planned to do Vilnius and Riga with a possible city on the way, maybe Warsaw, although it is not a must-see. However, the travel time is long, and there isn’t a sleeper train to Vilnius.
Should I stick with this plan? Does anyone have any other ideas for this area of the world?
Because I read this forum and know the questions coming…We are mid-fifties and active. We have done most of the Western capitals in previous trips. We will have been to London, Budapest, Vienna, and Munich on this trip before heading to Krakow. We are not big into museums because of the time factor. Some of our favorite cities include Tallinn, Bergen, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Venice, London, Rome, and Luscern. We are comfortable taking public transportation of any kind. We love to see architecture, eat good food, visit markets, and spend all day out exploring. We are fine with spending one or two days in a place.
