Krakow, Poland

Nature Walk in Krakow

Even the most urban cities hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Krakow's parks, gardens, and green corridors offer a breathing space between the landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find.

Krakow is Poland's cultural jewel, with one of Europe's grandest medieval squares, a royal castle on the Vistula, and the haunting history of the nearby Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial.
