Krakow

Krakow, one of the oldest cities in Poland, lays on the banks of the Vistula River. Walking down the the cobblestone streets leading to the Main Market Hall the history on and within the buildings is unmistakable. Hundreds of years ago it was Poland’s capital and even though it no longer is – it has remained a leader in Poland’s academic, cultural and artistic life and is currently one of the most important economic centers.
