1st Edition / January 2010

160 pp colour / 10 maps

The Encounter guide gives you twice the city in half the time. Wander among the ghosts of kings at mighty Wawel Cathedral, take in cocktails and candlelit jazz in a 700-year-old cavern or hire a bike and explore the Old Town by pedal power - it's all here.

This pared-down number is ideal for quick trips - it's less accommodation, more neighbourhood highlights and the best of local knowledge.
