Poland is 1000 years old and many of its towns and cities date back to early days. They shelter a rich architectural and artistic heritage that has survived the tumultuous past. A huge amount of damage was done during WW2 and the energy and resources that have gone into rebuilding Warsaw and Gdansk are quite remarkable. Few cities were lucky enough to pass through the war without much damage being done and one of these was the stately old Polish capital Krakow. Krakow with its peerless castle, largest town square in all of Europe (Rynek Glowny). Since the demise of communism Poland has quickly reacquainted itself with capitalism, and its bustling cities such as cosmopolitan Gdansk and cultured Wroclaw, are the antithesis of the old image of Eastern-Bloc grayness.
Krakow is one of the most enticing cities in Eastern Europe. Standing at the heart of Europe’s old trading routes, this former capital of the Polish state has a rich and varied architectural legacy for visitors to enjoy – from the Rynek Glowny, the expansive main square to the mystic of Kazimierz the old Jewish quarter.
Krakow restaurants must be experienced to be believed. Fine dining set to a backdrop of a medieval city. The restaurants on Krakow's Market Square allow you to stop and just relax as you watch life flow past and enjoy good food and great wine.
Krakow Nightlife is alive and rockin with a beat that picks you up and shakes the cobwebs out of your soul. It literally never stops, you can party in Krakow until the sun rises and you are the last one standing in the club. Come and experience Cracow!
