#1: Krakow is the very best city for a budget-city break
The Polish city received an overall score of 91 per cent, managed to get five stars in the value category and it was named the best budget-friendly city in Europe.
Krakow has an attractive medieval city centre, with Europe’s most significant medieval main square – Rynek Glowny. Not only the old town, but Kazimierz, the Jewish quarter – might be familiar for you from the Steven Spielberg movie: Schindler’s List. An average night in a hotel costs around $82 while a menu in a restaurant can be about $13. There are also a lot of cheap hostels.
