The most interesting and beautiful tourist sites in Krakow
Photos, reviews, descriptions, and links to maps
Krakow is the recognised cultural capital of Poland. The richness of the historical heritage and the beauty of the architecture of the old neighbourhoods attract thousands of tourists to the city every year. The locals are very proud of the city, as the history of the formation of Polish statehood is inextricably linked to it.
During the Middle Ages the city became an important spiritual, cultural and educational centre. Since the XI century churches and monasteries were built here, including the magnificent Mariatic Church and the Romanesque Church of St Andrew, and in 1364 the Jagiellonian University, one of the oldest educational institutions in Europe, was founded.
Krakow’s museums are no less interesting, where you can learn about Poland’s history and get a closer look at its culture. Oskar Schindler’s Factory and the Museum of Modern Art will certainly interest tourists who are interested in the history and heritage of the XX-XXI centuries.
