Kraków prides itself on its varied history and the majority of tourist attractions appeal to those with an interest in this. The most obvious place to visit is The Main Square which is situated right in the centre of the old town and provides a stage for events and festivals. Surrounded by houses and palaces, it is hard to find somewhere in the square that does not provide any historical interest and it is here that you will find the Historical Museum of the City of Kraków, the International Culture Centre and many restaurants, shops and pubs.

Kraków’s John Paul II International Airport of Balice is situated on the outskirts of the city and is Poland’s second busiest airport. The airport has regular direct links to and from major destinations so you will find that you are able to fly there easily from a lot of places. There are many flight operators flying into and out of Kraków from England, including British Airways, easyJet, Jet2.com and Ryanair. The Polish national carrier LOT also flies between Kraków and England so you may find a good deal with them.

Steeped in history, Kraków is one of the largest and oldest cities in Poland. Originally a Stone Age settlement, Kraków was a busy trading centre dating back to 965 and in the 20th Century its establishment of universities helped it become well known as an academic city. This beautiful destination thrives as one of the country’s most important cultural centres and for centuries was the capital city.
