Airport to the centre via a taxi was cheap. The is local bus which was like a school mini bus was very cheap.
The trip to Auschwitz is a must, and as Blue Genie has mentioned nothing can really prepare you for that experience.
I stayed in Hotel Chopin which was about 30 minute walk from the old town centre or a few stops on the tram. It was a business hotel. nothing amazing mind.
You will really enjoy your trip, the food was very cheap when eating out and was well worth having a few sit down meals.
I will return in the future, like Blue Genie idea of hiring a bike that sounds like a plan.
