Kraków is Poland’s prime tourist attraction. It is a historic city with many world-class monuments. It is a university center, with thousands of students, student festivals, and other attractions. Kraków is famous for its historic monuments as well as for its good restaurants, nice cafes, and nightlife. It is a friendly and interesting place to stay for any foreigner.
The most interesting places to visit in Kraków:
The Main Market Square
– the 13th-century quarter of the city has survived unaltered to the present day. The surrounding houses were built in the 14th and 15th centuries and have over the centuries been restored. Among the most notable buildings on the square are Sukiennice, the Town Hall Tower, the Church of the Virgin Mary, and the monument to Adam Mickiewicz. The market square, like most of the old city is closed to motorized traffic, making both it and the surrounding streets exceptionally pleasant to stroll in. Those not so keen on leisurely walks might prefer a carriage ride. The cafes, restaurants, shops, museums, and cultural centers surrounding the square together with the historical interest of the square itself make this a delightful area to explore at length. The American Academy of English is located in the close vicinity of the Main Market Square (one minute by walking)
The Wawel
– The royal castle – was the residence of the Polish Kings until 1609. It is a complex of buildings on a Wawel hill. The first castle was built in the late 10th century. The 14th-century Gothic castle was completely reconstructed in the first half of the 16th century in the Renaissance style by Francisco of Florence and Bartolomeo Berrecci. The Royal Cathedral in the Wawel was the place of coronation of the Polish kings, a royal necropolis, where many prominent Poles had their last resting place. The most magnificent part of the Cathedral is the Sigismund Chapel, from 1533, the work of an Italian – Bartolomeo Berrecci and his followers. The Chapel is considered to be one of the most beautiful Renaissance-style chapels in Europe. The Wawel Royal Castle houses a National Art Collection. One can see there one of the most valuable areas collections in the world, a rich collection of artistic handicrafts, regalia, and church ornaments as well as a collection of military accessories, dating as early as the Middle Ages.
The Church of the Virgin Mary
– the church houses the famous altar built by Wit Stwosz. The work, a monumental wooden polyptych, is considered one of the finest pieces of European late-gothic sculptures.
Brama Florianska (St Florian’s Gate)
– the remains of the old fortification system. Today the tower is a favourite exhibiting space for local artists who sell their paintings there.
Collegium Maius
– one of the oldest university buildings in the world. The Collegium Maius, dating from 1400, is now the Historic Museum of the Jagiellonian University. The Jagiellonian University grew out of the Cracow Academy, founded in 1364 by King Casimir the Great. The atmosphere in the University courtyard transports us back to the days when Nicholas Copernicus taught astronomy there.
The church of St Peter and St Paul
– it is an enormous baroque edifice built at the beginning of the 17th century and strongly influenced by Italian baroque architecture. The interior has a single nave flanked by intercommunicating chapels. The small square in front of the church is enclosed by wrought-iron railings including twelve pedestals supporting baroque statues in white stone of the twelve Apostles.
Kazimierz
– it is the old city quarter that used to be inhabited by the Jewish community. The Kazimierz community’s greatest prosperity coincided with the “golden century” of Poland. In the 16th century Poland, in contrast to the rest of Europe torn by religious discord, experienced a period of religious toleration and was defined as the “state without burning at the stake”. The Jewish city enjoyed its legal system and acted with considerable independence. Kazimierz became the capital of the diaspora welcoming refugees from the whole of central Europe. Worth seeing in Kazimierz is the old synagogue, built at the end of the 14th century. During the last war, the building was very badly damaged but has been reconstructed and now houses art and artifacts from the History Museum relating to Jewish culture in Krakow. Kazimierz is now famous for its numerous cafes and restaurants with Jewish cuisine. In summer Kazimierz hosts the annual Jewish Culture Festival (traditional and modern Jewish music concerts, films, exhibitions, meetings).
The Kosciuszko Mound
– an unusual earth mound covered in grass and surrounded by a circle of brick buildings. The Kosciuszko Mound was built between 1821 and 1823 in memory of Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a Polish hero. The mound in his honor was begun by Poles from all over the country bringing handfuls of soil and laying them in his memory. The Kosciuszko mound rises 326 meters above sea level and affords an excellent panorama of the city and beyond. On a clear day, one can see the Tatra mountains.
