Krakow, Kraków, Cracow, Krakow – call it whichever you want - a big welcome will be awaiting you on your visit to Poland's “cultural capital”.

Krakow is a city wrapped in legend, where time flows differently and where every moment becomes a moment of history. For centuries Krakow was the capital of Poland, the seat of kings, drawing great scholars and artists from the whole world. Their talents and imagination have left the city with a rich legacy of unique historical monuments, reflecting the most important trends in European culture.
