Krakow

Krakow is a delightful destination and a real find for historical, cultural and architectural groups alike. Having been the country's capital for over 500 years and escaped destruction through war it has retained much of its charm and heritage. It is a city alive with character and spirit and well worth a visit.

Although the city no longer plays such an important administrative role, for many people, thanks to its rich history, Krakow nevertheless represents a synthesis of all things Polish, connecting tradition with modernity. In the special atmosphere of the 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, cafes and restaurants: all of this is an integral part of any visit to Krakow.
