Kraków was established in the 7th century and was once the capital of Poland. Warsaw now has that distinction since 1596. Still, beautiful Krakow holds many distinguishing titles, including European Capital of Culture (2000) and UNESCO City of Literature (2013). Kraków is an important city for tourism. For one, the city’s Historic Centre/ Old Town was one of the first to be inscribed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1978. Kraków is quite near the country’s border with the Czech Republic and could even be a starting point for the exploration of other nearby countries, including Hungary and Romania. For sure, you will find enough reason to stay for a while in Kraków. If you have already come up with a wonderful itinerary, it’s high time to check out our list of the best hotels with pools in Kraków, Poland.
