City: Krakow (Kraków)

Krakow is the cultural heart and historical soul of Poland, one of the few cities in the country to escape the devastation of World War II intact. Its historic center, declared a World Heritage Site, is a dream complex that revolves around the largest Market Square in Europe. From the majestic Wawel Castle, home of Polish kings, to the historic Jewish quarter of Kazimierz and poignant reminders of its recent past, Krakow is a city of breathtaking beauty and deep historical resonance. It's a place where dragon legends mix with vibrant university life and a bustling bar and restaurant scene.

Tips for Gastronomy

Eat at a 'Bar Mleczny'

A 'milk bar' is a government-subsidized communist-era canteen that serves homemade Polish food at incredibly low prices. An authentic experience.

Try the 'Zapiekanka'

Go to Plac Nowy in Kazimierz and try the best street food in Krakow: half a baguette covered with mushrooms, cheese and other ingredients, toasted in the oven.

Drink Wódka properly

Vodka is the national drink. Try it neat, very cold, in a 'vodka bar'. There are hundreds of flavors to choose from, from cherry to hazelnut.
