Krakow is the most beautiful of all Polish cities

Largely unspoilt since the 13th century, Krakow is an architectural gem and has been rewarded with the status of a UNESCO World Cultural Site. The city’s centre is a huge medieval square, while the city’s Wawel Castle perches on a hill just outside the Old Town. Sights not to miss include the city’s Jewish quarter, made famous in recent times by the film ‘Schindler’s List’ and the salt mines of Wieliczka.

Concerts

Krakow has a thriving cultural programme throughout the year.

Many of the city’s glorious churches hold concerts, while participation in Mass is also welcomed. There are several cultural centres in the surrounding area; these include the district of Nowa Huta, a Communist ‘new town’, and the pretty town of Myslenice, half way between Krakow and the Tatra mountains to the south of Krakow.
