Cracow echoes with a thousand years of history. It is a city of customs and traditions; famous artists, festivals, museums and galleries, with a plentiful choice of restaurants, cafes, and pubs… such as an almanac of interesting spaces.
Classic is undoubtly The Royal Route, which starts at the city’s defensive walls, passes through St. Florian’s Gate, down to the Main Market Square and ends on the Wawel Hill.
But city life in Krakow is focused around the Market Square. In summer, horse- driven carriages, which line up around the square, carry visitors around the city, where cafes and bars around the perimeters of the square are bustling with activity.

You only need to go a short distance from the city center to enter the maze of narrow streets and plunge into a different world. Kazimierz – once a separate town famous for the diversity of Jewish traditions that thrived there – today a vibrant district of Krakow.
Part of the unforgettable charm of Kazimierz’s backstreets, is due to the numerous cafés, pubs, restaurants and galleries.

There isn’t a better place than this one to inhale the atmosphere of communism. In the 1950’s an attempt was made to create a perfect socialist city for workers employed in the huge steel plant nearby. Today you may see former Lenin steelwork, communist architecture, workers recreational grounds and …a tank (sic!).
