1. Paris, France - beautiful architecture, cafe culture
2. London, England - the Royal family, ultra-expensive real estate
3. Warsaw, Poland - the Pope
4. Toronto, Canada - most diverse city north of the border, bustling downtown and quiet residential areas
5. Tokyo, Japan - massive in population, lots of business going on
6. Montreal, Canada - hybrid Anglophone/Francophone city
7. Tijuana, Mexico - American tourists getting drunk in bars by the beach
8. Quebec City, Canada - very cold climate, very French-influenced
9. Buenos Aires, Argentina - the most European city in the New World
10. Seoul, Korea - crowded and busy
Don't get me wrong, Poland is awesome to visit and there's lots to see and do. Warsaw is also really cool to see but just disappointed me because it's the largest city (and capitol) and I thought it would be a lot more touristy and have more things to do and see. Regardless, i don't regret going at all. If I can give advice from personal experience though, go to Warsaw but don't budget too much time there. I would say 2 days is more then enough and then move on. Personally I could have stayed in Krakow for a week and found stuff to do and see.
Last tip, if you are on a budget, visit the milk bars. They are old communist style eateries that serve great food and cost a few bucks ($2-5) at most.
Somebody posted this with 10 american cities and I thought it was very interesting so I thought I would get your opinions the same way about international cities.

1. Paris, France
2. London, England
3. Warsaw, Poland

5. Tokyo, Japan
6. Montreal, Canada

9. Buenos Aires, Argentina
10. Seoul, Korea

Enjoy your trip!
Yeah, we're spending 2 1/2 days in Warsaw, 3 in Krakow, and a day and a half in Auschwitz.

You are going to miss Gdansk then... You shouldn't . While you are in Krakow you should also make a short jump to Prague. This city is really impressive when it comes to architecture and tourist attractions...

The main intention of this trip is to research WW2 sites/camps because I plan on finishing this Holocaust novel I'm writing. That's why I'm visiting Warsaw, Krakow, and Auschwitz in the week I'll be there. If I had more time, I would visit more places.

I figured that from your post nevertheless it seems like a loss to be in that part of the world and miss places like Gdansk, Prague, Budapest or Vienna... They seem to be less renowned that the obvious Paris, London, Berlin, Brussels, Amsterdam yet offer a lot in terms of tourist attractions...
Here is Gdansk, Prague or Vienna do not need any introductions

I believe this was the second largest camp after Auschwitz.
Yeah, I knew it was there and I know about the camp. I'll have to see if we have the time. Thanks for all your advice
