Krakow
To truly experience the soul of Poland, you must visit Krakow! This ancient city in southern Poland served as the country's capital for over 500 years and is now the heart of Polish culture and art.
Entering the World Heritage-listed Old Town is like stepping into a living architectural museum—a perfect blend of Gothic spires, Renaissance elegance, and Baroque splendor. However, the city's beauty goes beyond this: it also bears the profound marks of World War II and is surrounded by magnificent natural wonders. A visit to Krakow offers a profound journey through history, traversing the past and the present, and immersing you in its irreplaceable charm.
