I fully concur with Digger's comments about Auschwitz being emotionally and physically challenging. Having visited with the missus some years ago, I have revisted when each of my kids have been old enough to appreciate it. It definitely puts perspective on things. Also - wrap up well for Auschwitz. Most tours do Auschwitz 1 in the morning and Birkenau in the afternoon; Birkenau is huge and exposed, the cold/wind can be challenging.
I second the recommendations for visiting the castle (great views over the city/river) and Schindler's factory.
I like Polish food, but the best burger I have had in my life was at Moo Moo (Steak & Burger Club) on Swietego Krzyza, so good we returned the next night. On the corner of Mikolajska and Swietego Krzyza is a vodka bar that does flytes of 10 vodkas - it's small, so be prepared to get cosy with strangers. Both of these are a few minutes walk from the main square. There are quite a few real ale/local brew pubs too.
If you like Krakow, I recommend Wroclaw too (especially in winter when the Christmas market is on).
UK: Stubbings Lane, a (very) minor road off the B6160 that climbs along the River Wharfe in the Yorkshire Dales; in Upper Wharfedale the road above Yockenthwaite parallels the river for miles with beautiful places to stop, paddle, picnic etc. The road reaches a peak with stunning views over the Dales and far away the Lake District before dropping down to Gayle near Hawes.
Europe: The Splugen Pass - scary, stunning, exhilarating.
