Clear. Mild.
7 day forecast »
Kraków came through WWII unscathed; the 20th century's impact having been confined to acid rain. It has retained a wealth of old architecture from different periods; the tallest structures dominating Kraków's skyline are the spires of old churches. It's a city alive with character and soul.
Ringed by parkland, the Old Town is both charming and compact. The Main Market Sq is flanked by historic buildings, museums and churches. St Adalbert's Church is one of the oldest, dating back to the 10th century. And the museum of museums, Czartoryski Museum, exhibits a fascinating and impressive collection of European art.

Krakow Eating & Drinking
By Polish standards, Krakow is a foodies' paradise. The Old Town is tightly packed with gastronomic venues, serving a wide range of cuisines catering to all. Krakow has plenty of budget eateries called jadłodajnia offering hearty Polish home-style meals for a song. There are more than 100 bars and pubs in Krakow's Old Town alone. Some offer snacks or meals but most are just watering holes. Many are in vaulted cellars and are patronized by chain-smoking Poles. And many don't close until the wee hours of the morning. If beer and nicotine aren't your scene, there are plenty of tea and coffee houses around town.
