Although Eastern Europe once seemed remote, secretive and a little bit edgy, it now finds itself planted firmly on the tourist map, with visitors flocking to some of the region’s most popular cities. One of these is Cracow – the charming city with all the old buildings, quarters and beautiful cathedrals.
Rynek Główny – the main square – dates back to the 13th century and it’s thought to be the largest medieval square in Europe.
The outside of St. Mary’s Basilica is equally impressive. A trumpet plays from the top of the taller tower every hour so you won’t miss it.
The Cloth Hall in the main market square acts as a trading post of little shop stands.
Here you can find trinkets and goodies to bring back after your stay in Poland.
A short walk from the main square, Wawel Castle, and Cathedral dominates the skyline overlooking Kraków old town and the meandering Vistula river.
The boulevard of Vistula, perfect place to do some picnic, chat with friends or simply chill out laying on the grass and looking at the beautiful view of the river or the castle.
Can you believe this roof over the little chapel is made of 40 kg pure gold?
Kazimierz is the old Jewish Quarter of Krakow. A place steeped in history and heritage, it’s now one of the most boho neighborhoods in all of central-eastern Europe.
Just look at those photos, do you already feel the vibe of this charming district?
