Diverse architecture
Warsaw, the capital of Poland is spread across a broad area with diverse architecture: restored Gothic, communist concrete, modern glass and steel. This jumble is a sign of the city’s tumultuous past. Warsaw has suffered the worst history could throw at it, including virtual destruction at the end of World War II – and survived.
Krakow, listed by UNESCO as one of the World’s 12 most historic sites, was miraculously spared from destruction during WWII. Discover the historic heritage of Krakow as you walk through its streets from Krakow’s Old Town and Kazimierz Jewish District to Wawel Castle and the Jagellonian University.
