Wawel, St Mary's Basilica and the Cloth Hall are places which simply cannot be missed on a trip to Krakow. However, the city's rich tourist offering is much more than merely a series of standard points on every visitor's itinerary.
Wandering the streets of the Old Town or the former Jewish district, Kazimierz, we find a Krakow pulsating with life in all its various guises. Galleries full of fascinating exhibitions presenting both the classic and the experimental avant-garde, cafés, pubs and restaurants offering the finest in both Polish and world cuisine are all an integral part of any visit to Krakow.
Each of these places is unique in its own way. Like a magnet they attract the extraordinary people who help create the atmosphere of a city eternally full of life, yet existing in perfect harmony with its rich past. Actors, painters, musicians and poets make the city a magical place in which each moment becomes history. There are simply no words which can describe the phenomenon that is Krakow, combining tradition and modernity with an openness for those seeking a moment of escape from everyday life. It is enough to come and visit us to be convinced that on the other side not everything works backwards.
