Popular Questions and Answers

Answer: The Royal Wawel Castle and the Cathedral of Saints Stanislaw and Wenceslas are the key symbols of Krakow. The castle, built in the XIV century, combines Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque, and the cathedral served as the coronation site of Polish monarchs. The market square with Sukennitsy, a medieval fabric market, and the Mariatsky church with a wooden altar of Vita Stvosh complete the route.

What to see in Kraków

Krakow is the ancient royal capital of Poland with a rich history and a special atmosphere of ancient streets, squares and hills. The city retains the spirit of medieval Europe: from the royal chambers on Wawel Hill to the cozy cafes on the Market Square. To come here means to feel the smooth transition of centuries, where each stone paving stone keeps its stories and legends.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made sights of Krakow amaze with diversity and significance. Wawel Castle and the Cathedral on Wawel, Mariatsky Cathedral with its famous altar, Sukiennitsa and the Town Hall Tower on the Main Market Square are mandatory points for those who do not know what to see in the city. A walk along Florianskaya Street and the streets of Kanonica reveals the ancient facades and academic atmosphere of the Jagiellonian University. Defensive structures – the Barbican and historical bastions, monuments to John Paul II and Adam Miscavige, as well as the sculpture Linked Eros and the monument to the dog Jok give the city theatricality and lively accents.

Natural attractions and places

The natural attractions around Krakow complement the cityscape. Vistula forms picturesque embankments and observation platforms on Wawel Hill, and nearby there are unique reserves and national parks: Oytsov National Park, Panensky and Belyansky Rocks in Belyansko-Tynets Landscape Park, Pieninsky and Tatrzhansky Parks in mountain ranges. For lovers of outdoor activities, hiking routes in Gorchay, picturesque views of the Sand Rock and thermal pools in Bukovina-Tatshanskaya are available as an excellent completion of the trip.
