Already inhabited as early as the 7th century, Krakow is one of the oldest and most historic places in not just Poland but the whole of central Europe. Spared much of the heavy bombing during World War II, its Old Town retains an absorbing medieval atmosphere at the foot of the Royal Wawel Castle. Classified as a UNESCO World Hertitage Site, the castle itself is a rich mix of medieval, Baroque and Renaissance elements with lots of tourist interest packed inside its ancient walls, including one of the world's largest collections of Ottaman tents! Visitors to Krakow can also enjoy the thrill of being in Europe's largest market square which is lined by numerous historical houses, palaces and churches blessed with magnificent interiors. More evidence of the Krakow's fascinating past can be seen in the remains of the ancient Kazimierz district, which is notable for its 14th-century fortifications and medieval quarter in the southern part of town. With its 1000-year-old history and numerous treasures, you cannot miss the city's Gothic-style Wawel Cathedral adjacent to the castle, where most of Poland's kings were crowned. Whilst in Krakow, most film fans will want to visit Oskar Schindler's factory made famous by Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning epic - Schlinder's List - which is now a museum complex, including his former office and much of the factory floor.

" Always a pleasure booking my car rental with Auto Europe. They have never let me down yet and I have used them for years "
" We had a great experience with this car hire firm. Booked our hire through Auto Europe and they subsequently arranged our hire with CarWiz. When we landed at the airport we rang the number on the booking form as they don't have a office in the terminal and their base is about 1km away. The driver was there in less than 5 minutes and we were in our car 20 minutes later. The car was a Corolla hybrid and it was ideal. Would use this company again without hesitation "

" Auto Europe managed to find me a deal with a reputable name (Alamo) at a very reasonable price. What more could I ask for? "
" Apart from what seemed an attempt to persuade me to upgrade to a larger car with SATNAV, and then being given the size of car I reserved which had SATNAV anyway, it was the most seamless car hire experience I've ever had outside the UK. Returning the vehicle was very straightforward and involved no waiting whatsoever. "

" Everything was fine, the girl at the desk was very helpful as we don't speak Polish. She was very patience and my partner asked many questions. Pick up and drop off was good, friendly staff again. "
" We could have done with the correct postcode when we brought the vehicle back. It was not Krakow but Krakow Capitan or similar. To start with we ended up in the carpark of Carrefour and some very nice taxi drivers told us what to put into the sat nav. Once we were at the airport everything was fine. "

" My first rental anywhere, I was quite anxious. It was straight forward and I would do it again, thank you "
" I booked a Qashkai size vehicle and was provided with a Toyota Corrolla. I was offered a Volvo V40 but I would have to pay more. A Qashkai was available but had not been cleaned so couldn't be issued. The Corrola was clean and very well presented. It was also an Auto, I had requested a Manual. Actually the Auto was nicer for me. This was my first time driving outside of the UK, The Gentleman at the desk helped me very well with full insurance and No excess etc. Just what I wanted, "

" On arrival were quick to sort out the paperwork although they were strying to sell us extra insurance. They gave us a diagram of the vehicle and only pointed out 1 scratch. On checking the vehicle found numerous other sratches and the staff did not seem too bothered. On returning the vehicle there was nobody at the desk for about 20 minutes although we did arrive a little early. Aworry in the future due to checking in for flight. "
