Resting on the banks of the Vistula River, near the border of the Czech Republic, Krakow is the second largest city in Poland. Dubbed the 'Magical City', it is best known for its impressive array of architectural styles exhibited in the Jewish quarter and in the well-preserved medieval heart of the city. Krakow, which served as the former royal capital, is a Unesco World Heritage Site and boasts a harmonious blend of past and present. It is popular with tourists seeking old-world fairytale charm. Visitors can enjoy a wonderful day exploring the Rynek Glowny, the market square in the old town filled with countless restaurants, cafes and bars and home to the ancient St. Mary’s Basilica, a 14th-century Gothic church; and Cloth Hall, a Renaissance-era trading outpost. Don’t miss Wawel Castle, the crown jewel of Krakow's architectural treasures.
