Krakow is the former capital of Poland (until 1596) and the coronation city of the Polish kings. Since the city was not destroyed during the war, today it is one of the best preserved cities in the country. Here you can experience a wonderful insight into European architectural history from Romanticism to Art Nouveau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Krakow is the second largest city in Poland and is considered a secret cultural capital. Particularly beautiful is the medieval core city, the Royal Castle on Wawel Hill and the Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here we present our tips for an unforgettable trip to Krakow.<\/p>\n\n\n
The trip to the salt mine Wieliczka was the most exciting, informative and fascinating excursion that we had the pleasure to experience during our time in Krakow.

We saw many over the years and if you\u2019re not an expert in the history of art one could say many churches look similar. But the St. Mary\u2019s Basilica in Krakow fascinated us.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n St. Mary\u2019s Basilica →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Looking for a viewing point in Krakow?
