Welcome to Krakow, a city wrapped in legend, where time flows differently, and where every moment becomes a moment of history. For centuries Krakow was the capital of Poland and the seat of kings, drawing great scholars and artists from the whole world. It is their talents and imagination we must thank for the city's rich legacy of unique historic relics which reflect the most important trends in European culture.
The Renaissance Wawel Royal Castle, Gothic St Mary's Basilica, trading stalls in the historic Cloth Hall, the former separate Jewish city of Kazimierz, and even the Nowa Huta district - absorbed by Krakow together with its socialist realist industrial architecture - are all places which make a visit to Krakow extremely worthwhile.
Although the city no longer plays such an important administrative role, for many people - thanks to its rich history - Krakow represents a synthesis of all Polish things, connecting tradition with modernity. In the special atmosphere of beautiful and mysterious streets of the Old Town and Kazimierz, you will find everything you need to allow you to escape from everyday life. Galleries full of exhibitions, cafés, pubs and restaurants, all of them constitute an integral part of any visit to Krakow. And all this is merely a modest part of what we can offer travellers seeking exciting destinations on the world map.
