Krakow City Break Deals

From £74 per person

Krakow city breaks transport you to Poland's second city, one of the oldest in the land. The beauty of the old town, which is a World Heritage Site, attracts over two million foreign visitors every year. Unlike many European cities, Krakow avoided bombing raids from the allies during the war and its medieval centre remained unscathed. The city, which lies on the banks of the Vistula River dates from the seventh century. Its architecture as seen in the Castle, the cathedral, museums and St. Mary's Basilica is a mix of gothic, renaissance and baroque. Rynek Glowny is the largest medieval market square in Europe. You feel as if you have stepped back in time as you view the fourteenth century town houses that border the square. The town has parks and pretty gardens, narrow, cobbled streets that open into charming squares, shops and markets, a good variety of restaurants and lively pubs and bars. The old town is mainly pedestrianised which is great for sightseers. You can enjoy your sightseeing on foot, by horse drawn carriages or by tram. If you have time, take a boat trip down the river and see Krakow from a different perspective.

The Jewish ghetto in Podgorze was where the Jews were confined during the war. From there they were sent to labour camps or concentration camps where very few survived. It was from the ghetto that Oskar Schindler, the Swedish industrialist, took Jews to work in his factory thus saving them from the horrors of the camps. The infamous concentration camp of Auschwitz is a short distance from the town and the majority of visitors take time out from their holiday to visit the camp and remember the many hundreds of thousands of Jews who suffered and died there.
