Krakow, a truly magical city!
Kraków is a remarkable city! Its Old Town survived World War II intact, and its buildings from the 14th to 16th centuries remain in pristine condition. The city has been honored with Europe's City of Gastronomy Award and the Best Street Food in Europe Award. Additionally, the Michelin Guide has recognized 18 restaurants within the city. With 28 art museums and numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Kraków is culturally rich. Iconic landmarks such as St. Mary's Basilica, Cloth Hall, Market Square, Wawel Castle, and Wawel Cathedral are simply stunning. Thanks to Poland's booming economy, the favorable currency exchange rate makes the city remarkably affordable. Annually, millions of Europeans flock to Kraków, solidifying its status as one of Europe's premier destinations.
