Kraków

  The royal capital for half a millennium, Kraków has witnessed and absorbed more history than any other Polish city. Moreover, it came through the last war unscathed, so it has retained a wealth of old architecture from different periods. The tallest structures on Kraków's skyline are not skyscrapers but the spires of old churches, the 20th century's impact having been confined to acid rain. 

Yet Kraków is not a silent memorial to bygone events: it's a city alive with character and soul. Ringed by parkland, the Old Town is compact and utterly charming. The most important places in Krakow are the following: the Old Marketplace which is the largest medieval marketplace in Europe. Here you can find Sukiennice - Gothic shops, Kosciol Mariacki (St. Mary’ Church) with beautiful interiors. Do not miss the opportunity to hear the hourly bugle-call sounded from the tower of St. Mary's Church. Wawel is another magic place in Krakow. It is fortified hill on which you can find the Cathedral (with the tombs of the Polish Kings, and the largest Polish bell - the Zygmunt’s Bell - on the tower) and the Royal Castle with beautiful rooms. Krakow has over 140 churches and monasteries; 75 villas, aristocratic buildings with at the head of them Wawel Royal Castle, more than 600 monuments, 11 Universities and Academies, the well-known Jagiellonska library with 3 million volumes, famous theatres, nearly 100 art galleries and 50 museums; these are the numbers, if it is possible to express in numbers a town which has been classified by UNESCO one of the basic monuments of the cultural world heritage.

Besides, Krakow is an excellent point for day trips to Wieliczka Salt Mine, Aushwitz Concentration Camp and the Trail of Eagles Nests, a network of castles and castle ruins situated North of the city.
