Yo u r p e r f e c t w e e k e n d p l a n Wawel Royal Castle

Called the “Queen of Polish Rivers�, the Vistula is the longest, most important river in Poland and runs through Krakow on the way to its eventual end at Gdansk Bay. Over the river you will find a number of tourist boats that give a good feeling for the river and life on its banks.

The lively place surrounded by all kinds of cafes and restaurants.

Lonely Planet travel guides have rated Krakow's Main Market Square as the most beautiful in the world.

Kazimierz District

From the top of this peak of a treeless hill you will have a fantastic 360 degrees view over Krakow with its old town centre and the Wawel Royal Castle.

Very impressive when you see it from a distance and even more impressive once inside. Incredibly well kept and on miraculous condition.

Lots to see in state rooms, royal apartments and crown treasury.

Nowadays Kazimierz is full of life, but only the architecture tells you that this was once Jewish area.

Many nice old buildings, several museums and Jewish style restaurants are located here. The place can best be enjoyed in the evening.

The most charming literary feast in Poland, held between 22nd and 25th October in the International Exhibition and Convention Centre EXPO Krakow, the multifunctional trade fair and congress centre, adapted to the needs of various events of the highest calibre.
