The ancient seat of kings, academics and intellectuals, Kraków evokes a magical grandeur and nostalgic nobility that can be felt immediately upon arrival. Untouched by the fiery fate shared by most Polish cities at the end of WWII, Kraków’s centre has been largely preserved in its original form, making it one of Europe’s great unspoilt cities. Today the historical centre’s architectural monuments house countless collections of art, and an unbelievably high density of restaurants, bars and clubs. In print since 1999, Kraków In Your Pocket is the best source for meticulously up-to-date information on everything to see and do in Poland’s former royal capital. Though it represents only a small fraction of our efforts to bring you memorable local experiences, this miniguide is meant to help you navigate the city and easily discover the best it has to offer, no matter your interests.
