Kraków

Poland's second largest city has historic charm and foodie hotspots to explore

Old Town

Kraków's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, invites visitors to explore its cobbled streets and timeless charm. At its heart lies Rynek Główny, one of Europe's most beautiful market squares, where the majestic Cloth Hall stands proudly among elegant townhouses and buzzing cafés. Across the square, you'll find another one of the city's treasures: the magnificent late-Gothic altarpiece in St. Mary's Basilica, crafted by German sculptor Veit Stoss. After years of meticulous restoration, it can now be seen in all its glory. Don't miss the daily ritual at 11.45am, when the carved wings of the altarpiece dramatically open to reveal the full masterpiece.
