Cracow, a city that was the capital of Poland for centuries. In 1992 it bore the title of “European City of Culture”. Together with the districts of Kazimierz and Stardom, Cracow is one of 12 places listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage site.
With its compact central area, superb historic facades and delightful surrounding countryside, Krakow, nestling in the Vistula valley which runs between the Krakowsko-Czestochowska Jura or Upland and the foothills of the Carpathian mountains, ranks as a unique monument and is without doubt the most attractive of Poland’s cities.
