Krakow has become a popular choice for culture vultures and history lovers and it’s easy to see why.
This Polish gem is perfect for a few days visiting legendary castles, churches and all manner of historical landmarks.
Krakow was also the birthplace of the late Pope John Paul II and as such, attracts pilgrims from all over the world.
He is very much revered by the residents of the city who are fiercely proud of him after the Vatican canonized him in 2014.
Nestled on the banks of the River Vistula, Poland’s second city has a beautiful old town that is now a World Heritage Site.
Krakow’s buildings are a glorious mix of Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance architecture and a real feast for the eyes.
A leisurely boat trip down the river is a fabulous way of seeing Krakow’s pretty skyline but there is also plenty to see and do on dry land to make your trip really special.
