Krakow - Guide


General Information  /  Getting Around

 

A cultural treasure-trove and a UNESCO World Heritage site, Krakow is one of the few Polish cities that escaped serious damage during World War II and has therefore managed to impeccably preserve its artistic and architectural legacies. The Old Town (Stare Miasto), in particular, is an enchanting mixture of Renaissance arcades, onion domes, Baroque facades and cobbled streets. Its great centrepiece is the Market Square (Rynek Glowny) – the largest medieval plaza in Europe – while the Town Hall Tower, St Mary’s Basilica and Wawel Castle (overlooking the Vistula River) are almost as impressive. Many visitors also find visits to Kazimierz (the Old Jewish Quarter) and the nearby Auschwitz concentration camp sobering and informative. But Krakow is more than just an open-air museum. A student population of around 120,000 ensure that the night life is vibrant and, above all, inexpensive, with a surfeit of bars and clubs, often housed in atmospheric subterranean cellars.
