The last time I was in Krakow, I took a day trip to Katowice to visit a cousin. Walking from the tram stop to the train station, I must have encountered at least 10 cabbies asking me whether I wanted to go to Auschwitz.

At first it didn't bother me, but after about the 3rd, I got a little ticked off. Of all the cultural treasures the area around Krakow has, it appears the only thing the average American-looking tourist wants to see is a concentration camp. It's not that I don't think this is an important thing to see when you're there, but it isn't the only thing, nor is it even the most important thing.

From what I understand Krakow is a beautiful, very culturally rich city.
