What should we do on our extremely short visit to Poland?

Q. We are planning to visit Bielsko Biala in a month. Do you have any tips? Is it better to travel to Prague, Warsaw or Vienna? About saving money, places to visit, food anything at all is helpful. We are from the US, and don't know much. Thank you so much in advance. God bless
PaweÅ: I didn't think anyone would answer but i was taking my shot at it. Anyways, our visit is only for 7 days. My husband is travelling on business in Bielsko Biala. And I am tagging along and both of us want to absorb as much as we can of this country in that short stay. We know nothing and now what you have given us is precious and useful. Thank you so much for taking the time to write. I am copying this and we will do everything we can and will let you know :)

A. How short is is your trip? You havent really given any details of what you'd like to do.
Anyway if visiting Bielsko-biaÅa is a must ,you should consider visiting Cracow instead because its much closer than any other city you mentioned and depending on time you have, do side trips from Cracow to Auschwitz concentration camp, Wieliczka salt mines and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska park. All of the above , including old town of Cracow are Unesco heritage sites.
Cracow, Prague and Warsaw will cost you about the same, Vienna is quite more expensive,
The cost of travel will depend on where you'll arrive from Us, but from Bielsko-biaÅa it'll be cheapest to go to Cracow.
Theres 14 michelin star distributed among restaruants in Vienna, 2 in Prague and 1 in Warsaw none in Cracow.

I wouldnt recommend Warsaw, unless you have only ~ 2 days to spare. Other cities would take slightly a bit more to consider fully visited.

How difficult is it to get to Vienna, Austria from Vienna airport at 10pm? Visa versa at 7am the next morning?
Q. We will arrive Vienna at 10pm on a Monday and our flight out is at 7am on Tuesday. Is it a better idea to stay at a hotel near the airport if we have such an early flight the next morning? Or is it worthwhile/feasible to travel in to the City to stay the night and get back to the airport in the morning? Are there any modes of transport you would recommend?

A. The last City Airport Train from the airport to the city departs at 11:35pm and takes 16 minutes to reach the centre, so most probably you can catch this train when you arrive, or even the earlier train at 11:05pm. However, having a flight at 7am, you have to be at the airport at 5am at max. Unfortunately, the earliest train departs the centre at 5:38am.

Another alternative is the S-Bahn train. The last train departs the airport at 12:18am, so you have plenty of time to catch this train. The trip takes 24 minutes to the centre. On the other direction, the first trip departs at 4:32am, so you can be at the airport before 5am.

Some bus services may also be available when you arrive, but they may not be available at your required time of departure.

So you have open options when you arrive, but the S-Bahn seems to be the only option available for your return.

What are the best hotels in Europe?
Q. I am looking for hotels in London, Amsterdam, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. I want the hotels to be all close to the center of the town as possible (near all the tourist attractions). Thank you for your help.

A. Go to this website http://www.tripadvisor.com and view hotels in each of those cities you mentioned.
View the ratings. They are rated by location, price, staff etc.
Read the reviews. You will get an idea of the best.
