Krakow, Poland

Off the Beaten Path in Krakow

The real Krakow lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find the authentic character, the unmarked restaurants, and the quiet corners that make a city worth knowing.

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.
