A CERTAIN TIGHTWAD attitude led my husband and me to Krakow last Easter on our annual spring holiday. When our taxi deposited us at the edge of Krakow’s beautifully intact medieval Old Town, a bittersweet awareness of the city’s narrow escape was inescapable. Staying There: For austere luxury, spacious rooms and a prime location in Old Town a few hundred feet from Wawel Castle, try Hotel Copernicus. Café Noworolski, located right in the main square, is more about ambiance and a glimpse of old-school Poland. Oskar Schindler’s Factory (featured in “Schindler’s List”) is now a museum across the river from Old Town.
