Krakow is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and has a history going back over a thousand years. In the area of the Old Town there are several hundred historical monuments of Mediaeval, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. Krakow was entered in 1978 on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. The cobblestoned streets, majestic churches (almost 100 historical churches!), and old charm make Krakow an unforgetable destination.

Picturesquely set overlooking the Vistula River, the wealth of the city attracted many famous artists whose masterpieces have survived until the present. The beautiful preserved old medieval city is reason enough to travel to Krakow, particularly the main market square, festooned with churches, restaurants and bars, where the soul of the city is bared.

The Royal Castle has rich collections of old masters’ pieces, period furniture and fabrics, Europe’s biggest collection of tapestries, regalia, an armoury, and decorative art pieces. The coronation cathedral adjoining the castle is the treasury of national mementoes and splendid works of art. Inside are the tombstones of Polish monarchs.
