Description

Visit the Main Market Square. It is the biggest Medieval old town square in Europe. The Old Town offers a unique atmosphere with thousands of bars and delightful regional restaurants, many historic buildings and horse-driven cabs. See the Town Hall Tower, St. Mary’s Basilica, Krakow Barbican and Sukiennice (Cloth Hall), the main center of international trade during the Renaissance. Explore Wawel Hill, where the Cathedral and the Royal Castle are located. They are among the most picturesque and important sights in Krakow. Some of Wawel Hill's oldest stone buildings date back to 10th century. Until 1611 Wawel was the formal seat of Polish monarchy. It was the place of royal coronations, weddings and funerals. In a cave at the foot of the hill, on the bank of the Vistula River, the Wawel Dragon had his lair. Nowadays it is a popular stop for tourists. Discover Kazimierz is a former Jewish district. From the 14th until the 19th century, Kazimierz was an independent town – a place of coexistence of Christian and Jewish cultures, separated from Krakow by the branch of the Vistula river. Today it is the cultural center of the city and a favorite among young people to hang out and relax. Also explore and learn about the famous former enamel factory of Oskar Schindler. It is a host of the Historical Museum of the City of Kraków. The museum presents Jewish rural life in the 20th century. During World War II Oskar Schindler saved more than 1000 people from deportation and transportation to concentration camps. Schindler’s List, Steven Spielberg's famous movie is based on this story.
