Carol,Krakow,As you say is a Stunning City and the Architecture is Great.... Whilst Krakow is no longer Poland’s capital city, it is still celebrated as its cultural heart and the original seat of the monarchy. The medieval old town is a delight to stroll through, and offers a host of sights with beautifully preserved architecture, the world-renowned Jagellonian University, a vast and bustling market square, and the legendary Wawel Castle which has become Poland’s own romantic Camelot. The old district of Kazimierz is split into Christian and Jewish halves, and used to be an island rising from the centre of the Vistula River. It was the scene of many atrocities during the time of the holocaust, but has now become a rich and culturally resonant centre with many restored synagogues and exhibitions to marvel at. Sports enthusiasts can have a go at canoeing on the river, play golf, or visit one of the sports or activity centres in the city. Families with children will love the Park Wodny whose rides will keep the kids happy for hours. There is also a huge array of individual boutiques and big name brands for ardent shoppers, plus a host of restaurants, cafes, bars and clubs. With Krakow Airport only 30 minutes from the centre by airport shuttle or airport taxi and Katowice Airport also nearby, this is an ideal choice for a weekend or week long stay! ******************************************
