Krakow
proves to be Poland's prime cultural and tourist attraction with
hardly any equals in the entire Central Europe.
The Old Town district is actually a medieval city with a well preserved
original grid of streets. The huge central square, Europe's largest,
seems the last stage in the perfection of the art of city planning
in these times.
Wawel Hill
in Krakow, a must to visit for foreign tourists is a
micro-cosmos of Polish history and culture. From the 11th century
on Poland's monarchs took up their residence here, in the Royal
Castle, and they were both crowned and buried in the Wawel Cathedral.
Krakow, the proud capital of a mighty kingdom for centuries, is
now a city of a truly European status.
A genuine pearl in the vicinity of Krakow is the 700-years old Wieliczka
Salt Mine, one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites.
In 1995, the Cultural Council of Ministers of the European Union
passed a decision granting the title of the Capital of European
Culture for the year 2000 to nine cities. Krakow was nominated as
one of the first laureates, in Central Europe along with Prague.
