    Kraków, Poland

Poland in pictures - Kraków

  • Kraków

    A relatively expensive city in terms of accommodation, Krakow has grown to attract many tourists, who are drawn to the city by its charm. The city is riddled with little gems, and beautiful little romantic hotels where the meticulous decor reflects the city itself. The chain hotels offer international standards of quality by combining modernity with the wide variety of services they offer their guests, but if it's basic accommodation right at the heart of the city that you're after, you won't be disappointed either. A word of advice though - don't judge the property by its exterior, and make sure you check the rooms themselves before booking in! Whatever it is you're looking for, book as early as possible! The best way of finding your way around in Krakow easily is to start from the Main Market Square, where the sound of a trumpet rings out every hour from the towers of the Church of Our Lady St. Mary. This is also where you'll find the Cloth Hall, the oldest shop in Poland. All around, streets are teeming with cafés, jazz cellars and night-clubs where the lively entertainment keep going until the early hours. A little further on, on the hill where the Wavel Royal Castle (dating back to the Renaissance) is located, the ambience takes on a more Bohemian style, thanks to the various contemporary art galleries and alternative bars, as well as many souvenirs relating to the customs of the Jewish community who settled here.

Destination overview

A little quiz: name a country, which is part of the European Union, that holds within its territory a primitive forest, at least one Medieval town, a salt chapel and locally unequalled heritage which is rich in listed monuments. That's it, you've got it, it's Poland! A destination which is not only rich historically, but rich in preserved landscapes. You should definitely visit: Warsaw and Krakow (both UNESCO sites), the Wieliczka salt mines (the first UNESCO site), the Mazurian lake district and the bison (there still are some) in Biatowieza forest.

pros

  •  Wild and unspoilt nature.
  •  The rich historical and cultural sites.
  •  The warm-hearted, hospitable Poles.

cons

  •  The roads are in bad condition.
  •  Due to the language difference, there is a communication barrier.

Poland Travel guide

Our Editorial team's advice

The Poles are assiduous church goers, which explains why the numerous churches are always overcrowded. Sociocultural activities are often organized after the mass; you can join in, or just see it as a folkloric aspect.
