I have a couple of days in Krakow Poland in a few weeks. Where should I go? Anything special to see there?

Any ideas on a cheap Hotel in the city center? All I could find was the Fortuna for 62 Euros for two nights. not bad...but can I find a place once I get there or should I book it now.

Also..I am bringing with me the 20D+ 2GB card and a 512MB card. I am thinking that this may not be enough. Since I am shooting in RAW....I will get roughly 250 shots. hmmmmm.......

went there this summer, its a nice town, not too big so im sure you'll be able to fit everything in. to be honest i spent most of the time outside the town... was ony there a couple of days too, but went to auschwitz, and to a huge salt mine thats been turned into a tourist attraction. cant say there's alot to do at the mine... but its interesting. auschwitz was pretty horrible but i'm glad i went. be careful with your camera in buildings though, i didnt take any inside and i think it was a general consensus with everyone.

anyway here's a couple of pics! watch out for the gypsy ladies selling bread! they're interesting characters! ( i know they're a bit OOF, was just a quick snapshot walking past!)

dont know about hotels... i went in summer so was pretty busy, should be alot easier to find one now.
