Kraków is the third largest and one of the oldest cities in Poland.

Situated on the Wisła river in the Lesser Poland (Małopolska) region, the city dates back to the 7th century.

It was the capital of Poland from 1038 to 1596, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Cracow from 1846 to 1918, and the capital of Kraków Voivodeship from the 14th century to 1999. It is now the capital of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship.

Kraków has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Polish scientific, cultural and artistic life. As the former national capital with a history encompassing over a thousand years, the city remains the spiritual heart of Poland. What is more, here is the oldest university in Poland and one of the oldest universities in Central Europe - the Jagiellonian University. Kraków is famous for its histoircal monuments and places like the Main Market Square with St. Mary's Basilica and the Sukiennice Cloth Hall, the Wawel Castle, the Zygmunt Bell at the Wawel Cathedral, and the medieval St Florian's Gate with the Barbican along the Royal Coronation Route. In 1978, UNESCO added Cracow's Historic Centre, which includes the Old Town, Kazimierz and the Wawel Castle to the list of World Heritage Sites.

All that makes Kraków a place worth visiting.
