KRAKOW POLAND

KRAKOW
POLAND


Krakow, once a medieval city on the banks of Wisla River, is now a thriving modern city. However, its history is well preserved. It shows its history at every step. There are castles, churches and architecture that go back centuries. Even the World War II could not destroy the beauty of this enchanting city.



The Old Town is enclosed in the medieval walls with Kosciol Mariacki, St Mary's Basilica, towering over Market Square, Rynek Glowny and Sukiennice, Cloth Hall.



Medieval history and architecture dominates Krakow. It was home of Polish kings and now reflects the atmosphere of the past as well as a modern city. The mythical legend brings visitors to Wavel upon Wisla river where Krakow was established, as the legend goes, when a brave prince defeated a dragon.








Wawel Hill is the place to listen to the folklore story of Smok Wawelski. Also a river cruise depicts that important legend.








A stroll through cobblestone streets of the Old Town brings one easily to the days gone by. Sampling delicious cuisine in many restaurants and cafes, a visit to markets or a concert in a church can be a memorable event.
