It can get very crowded in Krakow during Easter, simply because the locals get out on the streets, and so does a lot of tourists. You might not feel this so much at the Main Market Square (simply because it is very big), but if you want to do an excursion to Auschwitz or to the Salt Mines, you might be denied entrance, simply because it is packed and no free spots available.
