The second capital of Poland for some remains it today. The Old Town with medieval buildings is the cradle of Polishness and tradition. Here are the remains of city fortifications, here are the first sacred buildings. This is the seat of the Krakow Academy. Trade, conventions of monarchs and battle oaths took place at the Market Square in Krakow.

The market was also a place of court and execution, which was an example of urban entertainment. Here, where history is full of legends and curiosities, there is a vibrant cultural and leisure life with its Christmas markets, festivals and manifestations. The Old Town is also the oldest street in Krakow with finds from 11th c., a place of shelter from the Mongol invasions of the 13th century, but also the most beautiful work of the Nuremberg artist from the 15th century.

The icing on the cake is the Wawel Hill with the Royal Castle and the Cathedral, the mother of the Polish churches. The magnificence days of the Royal Castle ended with the transfer of the king and court to Warsaw. The historic seat of the kings, and in subsequent centuries, the place of barracking of troops, the residence of German dignitaries during World War II, after many years of renovation, obtained garments from the 16th century- time of splendor and uniqueness. The cathedral was the place of coronations, weddings and royal funerals. For almost 1000 years it has been a place of worship of Saint Stanisław. Yet, his altar is still the Altar of the Fatherland.
