Krakow, the former capital city of Poland and the residence of Polish Kings, is a sight to behold.

As one of the oldest cities in the country, it is a precious gem of national cultural heritage that attracts countless travelers from all over the world. Overflowing with legends, invaluable historical architecture and art, and fabulous leisure and entertainment options, this historical capital captivates and enchants visitors at first sight. Moreover, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site for over 40 years. Located along the famous River Vistula, Krakow, founded by the mythical Krak, is surprisingly easy to navigate. Whether you prefer modern-day mobile phone apps or a more traditional system of maps and arrows pointing to the city centre’s most important sites, Krakow has got you covered. If you arrive by train, it will only take you 15 minutes to get from the main station (via the enormous Galeria Krakowska shopping mall) to the Old Town, which is the first must-see attraction on the list.
