#ImageDescription for post by @stephenfry:
A tour bus operated by #KrakVille Tours which depicts several of their destinations / tours, and the captions "and much more..." and "simply the best":
#Auschwitz & #Birkenau (accompanied by a photo of the dreadful "Arbeid Macht Frei" entrance sign), #Wieliczka Salt Mine (with a photo of the salt crystal chandeliers inside the mines, probably taken at the underground cathedral), #Schindler's Sites (accompanied by a black and white photo of Nazi soldiers), #Zakopane & #Tatra Mountains (with a photo of those mountains and the body of water in front of it), and their "KrakVille Tours" logo.

Dreadful marketing aside, I've visited both Auschwitz (& Birkenau) and the Wieliczka Salt Mine, and both were impressive in their own ways. The former in a "please, never again" kind of impression, while the latter has some really beautiful salt sculptures and entire chapels hewn out of the rocks. (Sadly the nazis also abused the mine for weapons manufacturing and forced labour by their many prisoners..)
