Hi there My boyfriend and I have krakow booked for next week 18-22 March. We are supposed to be travelling from Dublin. We are not sure whether to continue with the trip, or cancel it due to corona virus. Are most tourist places still open? I’m aware museums are starting to close etc. Just wondering if it will be worth it for us to go as we wanted to visit Auschwitz etc. We were planning to fly out of Warsaw and get the train from krakow to Warsaw. If anyone could provide us with some information that would be great

Hi can I do self guided tour in the castle.?i see only guided tours online? Where can I buy the tickets to enter the castle premises.? Thanks for the reply.
A:
There can be queues, but then everyone stops at the first booth they see at the top of the hill on the way in - there are others which should be quieter.
