The Kraków sights to book ahead

Two of the first places ever inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, and both earn the time you give them: the royal hill of Poland’s kings above the Vistula, with its Renaissance courtyard, crown jewels and cathedral; and a nine-level salt mine where miners carved a whole cathedral, chapels and lakes out of rock salt, a hundred metres underground.
