About Cracow
Why is it worth visiting the historic and royal city of Krakow?
There are many answers to this question, but anyone who has been here before knows the answer. Its long history, its unique atmosphere and cultural abundance make this city very attractive.
Kings have lived here, as well as some of Poland’s most famous artists; great works of art and literature have come into existence right here. Here is where legends were born and traditions cultivated.
Over 5 million tourists visit Krakow each year, to admire the city but also to leave a trace of themselves behind. Hundreds of cafes, pubs and restaurants have sprung up in the last several years – amidst this Krakow’s unique atmosphere, you can meet many foreign visitors, savouring cuisines from all over the world!
However, the more traditional pierogi, kielbasa, bigos and zurek have not lost favour with tourists or locals! Polish cuisine tastes best in Krakow!
Krakow is a city of young people – more than 60% of its population is under 45! There is a thriving night life in Krakow – the number of cultural and artistic events rises with each year. Over 40 festivals take place in Krakow annually!
Its history, which goes back centuries, has left behind many keepsakes in Krakow. You will find here monuments from every era. This beauty has been recognized the world through which is why Krakow is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
That is no surprise – the first reference to Krakow was made in the year 956, and archaeological finds have given proof of the city’s existence even in the Stone Age!
It is one of Europe’s oldest cities, so it is one to mark on your traveller’s map! This is especially true ever since experts from the Project for Public Space (PPS), an American non-profit organization, which has for the past 30 years been carrying out work for the revitalization of urban public spaces, decided that Krakow’s market place is unequalled in the world!
It is worth seeing and visiting Krakow, where a great number of attractions await you.
Enjoy Europe’s biggest market-place while listening to St. Mary’s Church bugle-call, or take part in one of the numerous events which Krakow organizes, also available to foreign visitors. During the summer, there will be many of them!
