About Krakow

Krakow is arguably Europe's most underrated city — a stunning medieval capital that somehow escaped WWII destruction, leaving its Gothic and Renaissance architecture beautifully intact. The vast Rynek Główny market square, Wawel Castle, the Jewish Quarter of Kazimierz, and proximity to Auschwitz make Krakow a profoundly moving and historically essential European destination.
