Sight Seeing in Krakow

There is so much to see on a city break to Krakow that it is near impossible to fit it in all in one go, so it's great that EuropebyAir can offer such cheap flights that you can afford to go again and again. The city is packed full of stunning architecture with castles, churches and palaces all of which are well worth visiting and each one is different.

On Wawel Hill you will find Wawel Royal Castle is a grand and imposing fortress located on the top of the hill. You can take a tour through the castle whose exquisite chambers are filled with priceless art, period furniture and ancient objects. Also on the hill next to the castle is Wawel Cathedral which was built in a Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque style. The site itself has a 1000 year history and the cathedral is the coronation and burial place of Polish monarchs with huge marble tombs.

The Basilica of the Virgin Mary is an imposing 13th century Gothic church. It includes a huge stone crucifix, magnificent wall paintings and priceless art objects including ancient embroidered vestments.

The Baroque style Town Hall Tower is interesting as it leans to one side due to strong winds in the 18th century, if you can brave the height then there are fabulous panoramic views across the city from the top of the tower.

The City Walls are over 700 years old with some grand towers still existing, within these city walls is the Planty Garden Ring which is a green belt of public parks with over 30 different gardens and a great place for a relaxing afternoon after all that sightseeing.

Another of the many religious buildings in Krakow is Shalka, Krakow's oldest shrine. The architecture is beautiful and the decorations are grand, you can even still see the dark marks of St. Stanislav's blood on the stone walls.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of Krakow's most popular attractions with its labyrinth of passages, giant caverns, underground lakes and chapels and sculptures and carvings in the crystalline salt. The sparkling underground palace is a must see and you might even spot a few celebrities visiting.

If you're not already tired after visiting all of these places then there are several other places you must visit including the Grand Square, one of the most beautiful plazas in the world lined with restaurants, cafes and clubs; the national museum, Museum Norodowe, the gold dome of the Sigismund Chapel and the Royal Castle.

Further a field you could take a day trip to Auschwitz, the former Nazi concentration camp of World War II. It is a moving and humbling experience but well worth a visit for the intriguing insight into the suffering of the Jewish people in World War II.
