The town has great links with the rest of the local area through bus networks and taxis. All of these are very reasonably priced. Tours can take those interested into the historic city of Krakow or the fantastically picturesque Spis region in Slovakia. There is also a tour available for those, interested in visiting Auschwitz. All tours provide a 50% discount for children under 10.
Twin Centre Suggestion
If you want to combine the best of both worlds you could try 7nts in a mountain resort such as Zakopane followed by 7nts in the city of krakow and enjoy the hustle and bustle of city life.
