Krakow is a picturesque city with a little bit of everything. There is a scenic, historic centre full of character, a hill with an old castle, stunning natural beauty, plenty of modern museums, and a wide variety of historic churches. The Main Square, dating from the 13th century, is located at the heart of the city and is a good place to start exploring. It is one of the largest market squares in Europe, and is surrounded by many old buildings and churches and some cozy cafés. Also make sure to visit the Kanonicza district, located around the foot of Wawel Hill. It combines narrow, cobblestone streets with ancient buildings, and is another place to really get a feel of the city’s history.
One of the nice things about Krakow is that it is possible to explore all of the city centre comfortably on foot. There are some beautiful established walking routes, such as through Planty Park, and the “Royal Way” which winds through the garden surrounding the city.
