Welcome to Krakow, a city wrapped in legend, where time flows differently, and where every moment becomes a moment of history. Forged in battle, war, conquest and fate, Kraków celebrated its 750th birthday in 2007.

The City is by far Poland’s biggest drawcard, and it’s immediately apparent why. As the royal capital for 500 years, the city was able to absorb much history and talent over the centuries and is today a treasure trove of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Miraculously, this jewellery box emerged largely intact after XVII. As a result, no other city in Poland can boast so many historic buildings and monuments or such a vast collection of artworks, with some 2.3 million registered.

Famous landmarks include the Main Market Square with St. Mary"s Basilica and the Sukiennice Cloth Hall, the Wawel Castle, the National Art Museum, the Zygmunt Bell at the Wawel Cathedral, and the medieval St Florian"s Gate with the Barbican along the Royal Coronation Route
