I am not interested in eating French cuisine, Italian,Chinese etc etc but just genuine Polish cuisine. How far out of this central area will I need to travel to find this? Any suggestions of restaurants? Also any good bar suggestions? I am not a young guy so NOT looking to join in with stag nights or to go clubbing, just a nice comfortable bar with a reasonable choice of draught beers and where I won't get ripped off!
Personally, I would go onto tripadvisor and have a look at the travel forums on Kraków. We went a couple of years ago (first timers) and picked up some useful information. I can't offer any advice on the specific questions you ask but would strongly advise you to take the tour to Auschwitz.
