2 days in Krakow - Part I: highlights of the Old Town

The city of Krakow, former capital of Poland and seat of the Polish monarchs for centuries, is without a doubt one of the most charming cities in Europe. Its beautifully preserved medieval Old Town, where you can find most of the places of interest of this Unesco World Heritage city, is one of the few places in Poland that escaped from complete destruction during World War II.

During my first day in Krakow, I explored all the highlights of the Old Town, starting in Market Square and following the Royal Road all the way from St. Florian’s Gate to Wawel Castle, the former residence of the kings. Check out this itinerary to discover one of the liveliest cities of Poland!
