Krakow (Travellers) Book

"Travellers Krakow" provides a detailed insight into one of Europe's emerging destinations, one of the real architectural gems of central Europe. Krakow was Poland's royal capital for five centuries and is now one of the nine European Cities of Culture. The art scene is the very soul of Krakow. Krakow's atmosphere is vibrant, alive and timeless. The highlights include: The great market square, the Rynek Glowny, is lined with bustling cafes and bars; the road winding south of the Rynek, ul Grodzka, is packed with shops and restaurants; the panorama of the city from the Zygmuntowska Tower is amazing. You can admire the grandiose memorial to Poland's 19th-century national poet Adam Mickiewicz. It also includes: The exquisite Romanesque church of St Wojciech, and the great Gothic tower of the old town hall; Sukiennice, a long, elegant cloth hall which, by day, is full of souvenir shops; upstairs is an art gallery. You can visit Krakow's Jewish district, Kazimierz, with its landmark buildings. The varied countryside offers several national parks which cover forests, rivers and rolling hills. It has direct flights from 46 UK and Ireland airports.Read More
