Krakow —
If you believe the legends, the city of Kraków was founded on the defeat of a dragon who lived in Wawel Hill, and a fairytale-like charm still exists in this beautiful city. With its medieval history, grand architecture, and quirky character, this city is the cultural capital of Poland, where you can visit countless galleries, museums, and historical monuments.
During your break, be sure to marvel at the elaborate Cloth Hall, which dominates the city’s Main Square, Rynek Główny. Situated at the heart of Kraków’s magnificent Old Town - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - this building was once a major centre for international trade, and on the upper floor of the hall, you can now get a taste of Poland’s artistic history at the Sukiennice Museum. Afterwards, relax with a drink at one of the many cafés on the square, perhaps trying an authentic Pierogi, a savoury or sweet-filled dumpling, before washing it down with a local beer.
To escape the inner-city’s bustling, cobbled alleys, head to Las Wolski (quiet forest) to climb Piłsudski’s Mound, the highest point in Kraków. While most tourists favour Krakus Mound in the city, this taller attraction will grant you stunning views of the city’s glistening rooftops and the surrounding mountains. From the city, it’s also possible to visit Auschwitz before returning to Kraków more appreciative of its now glittering and vibrant atmosphere.
