Poland is compact and well connected, so you can base yourself in one city and still see a lot. Trains and cheap flights link Kraków, Warsaw, Gdańsk and Wrocław in a few hours.
Each city has a different character: royal Kraków, rebuilt Warsaw, seafaring Gdańsk, and the mountain gateway of Zakopane. Pick one to start, and use the day trips to reach the sights beyond it.
