Amazing Cracow
Cracow, located south of Warsaw, is a true centre for science, art and culture. And with over five million visitors annually, the city is one of the most popular weekend city-break destinations in Europe.
The dichotomy between history and modernity in this former capital of Poland is striking. Impressive architecture from the Gothic, renaissance and baroque period juxtaposes modern cafés, cavernous nightclubs, galleries and spacious shopping centres.
Amazing Cracow is full of information to help make life easier during a stay. The first few restaurants, authorities needed to register or acquire a driver's licence, public transport, the region's delights, shops, hotels, doctors, sources, international schools; they can all be found here. Enjoy your stay.
