A grand old city, the former capital of Poland
It is no easy task to describe the unique
character of Krakow to those who still
have not had the opportunity to visit
this magnificent city. Its uniqueness
is primarily due to the rare cultural
heritage embodied within the city walls
which was the capital of Poland until
the 17th century. The Market Square,
the second largest in Europe after
St. Marks Square in Venice, forms
the heart of the city, with many cafés
and bars, and the busy hum of a city
at work and play. Krakow is a city
with soul and character, fascinating
history, medieval architecture and outstanding works of art. Cafés, cellar pubs and traditional tavernas are filled each night with locals and tourists alike, providing Krakow with its most enduring trait: a welcoming, unspoiled, unaffected atmosphere.
