Art and culture in Krakow

Poland The former capital Krakow is a city full of culture and art. Most characteristic of the city is the old town, which is surrounded by the 'green belt'. In the green area are the Planty Park, the Jagielloński University, the Royal Palace on the Wawel Hill and the Kazimierz Jewish Quarter.

In the middle of the old town is the medieval square Rynek Główny, which is Europe's largest square. On the square you will find the city's most famous landmark, namely St. Mary's Church, and the indoor market Sukiennice. The square is really the city center, and this is also where you can take a guided walk.

In the Jewish quarter of Kazimierz, a few steps from the old town, you will find bars, restaurants and an active nightlife. Today, the area is a district of Krakow, but in the past it was a separate city. Between the 14th and 19th centuries, the majority of the inhabitants were Jews. Orthodox Jews from all over the world still come to Kazimierz to commemorate the rabbis of the past, who are buried in the area's ancient Jewish cemetery, Remah.

There are over 3000 historical monuments in Krakow, which helps to make the old capital the most visited city in Poland. This is a real cultural city.

In addition, Krakow is a good base for trips to other beautiful places in the Małopolska region with the fine Danish name Little Poland. Around the city are obvious sights such as the Wieliczka salt mine, the Ojców National Park and the winter sports town of Zakopane in The Tatra Mountains, so there is also nature and active holidays on the program.
