Krakow Travel Guide - So Much To See & Do In Poland's Cultural Capital | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids

Although Warsaw is officially the capital city of Poland, Krakow, also spelled as Cracow, is still referred to as the cultural capital of the country. After all, it is the oldest Polish city dating back to the 7th century and it was the capital for 500 years. Today it’s 4th largest city which thanks to its folklore, history, architecture and cultural scene is a fascinating place to visit.

Krakow is positioned on both sides of the upper Vistula River and it is known primarily for its UNESCO designated old town area which was proclaimed a World Heritage site in 1978. The Main Market Square which was laid out in the 13th century is one of the largest medieval market squares in Europe - the centrepiece of a town plan which was, and remains, a remarkable piece of architecture. With the dimensions of 200 x 200 metres and 11 streets diverging from its corners, this 40,000 square metres square is an impressive place to be at.

The grid-like pattern of the streets, surrounded by a tree-lined pedestrian avenue make all city corners easily accessible when you need to walk around. To the south, and connected to the Market Square by the long is the straight Grodzka street, as well as the Wawel Castle, the seat of many Polish kings from the eleventh to the early seventeenth century.

Wawel is something of a hodge-podge, with all kinds of shapes and styles jostling for attention, but that comes as no surprise knowing that people have been living there for over 50 centuries now and still continue to reside on the hill. It is also believed to be a place that emanates strong spiritual energy. This is why many people touch the wall of the shrine or the St. Gereon’s chapel - to feel the energy that is said to be accumulated there.
