Krakow

As one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Krakow is a cultural and historical hot spot. Legend has it that Krakow was founded upon the defeat of a dragon, and after a walk around the old buildings and wonderful architecture, you might begin to believe it. If it’s history that you’re after, then you won’t be disappointed. From medieval to modern, Krakow is heaving with reminders of the past. The Old Town Square, the oldest medieval square in Europe, is a magnificent site surrounded by neoclassical buildings, interspersed with trendy restaurants and cafés. The district of Kazimierz, the old Jewish Quarter, holds the Krakow Ghetto Memorial and the last standing part of the Ghetto Wall. When you’ve exhausted yourself marvelling at what Krakow has to offer, you can relax in one of the trendy bars or grab some Gelato from the stalls in the market square.

You can enjoy the wonders of Krakow all-year-round, in the winter you can stay dry in the hundreds of museums and churches or wrap up warm and stroll through the snow-covered streets. With very similar weather to that of the UK, in the summer months you can sit outside in one of the many street side cafés.

Stare Miasto, or Old Town, is in the heart of Krakow and within walking distance of main <a href="https://www.travelrepublic.co.uk/attractions/krakow">attractions</a> including Wawel Castle, the city’s architectural masterpiece; Market Square; and the stunning Gothic towers of St Mary’s Basilica. Hotels in Stare Miasto won’t come cheap, but its central location and stunning green spaces like Planty Park make it a great place to stay. Hotels in Grzegórzki are great for those on a budget, as they’re much more affordable than central hotels, but you’ll still be within 35 minutes’ walk or 15 minutes’ drive of main attractions like the historic Cloth Hall. Couples and young groups should look at hotels in Kazimierz, as the cool neighbourhood in the city’s primarily Jewish quarter offers plenty to do. Contrasting the grandeur of Stare Miasto, the area’s grungy chic vibe, remnants of the Ghetto wall and street murals attract those who are looking to discover a different side of Krakow. Check out modern Jazz bar Alchemia or dine in the elegant restaurants on Szeroka Street for an evening to remember. Head to Jozef Street, a street that’s barely changed since the 1940s, to find the best local shops. If you want to head to central Krakow, it’s just a 20-minute walk. If you’re looking for a less-central location that offers an authentic look into life in Krakow, choose a hotel in Podgorze. The residential area is nine kilometres, or a 30-minute drive, from central Krakow, but has plenty of things to see in its own right, including Schindler’s factory museum.
