Krakow, Poland Travel Guide - What To See & Do

Our illustrated travel guide will take you to Kraków, Poland.

The city of Kraków covers both banks of the Wisla (or Vistula) river. It is Poland's second largest city, with a population of 756,000 (1.4 million including surrounding communities).

Kraków consists of 18 districts. The historic Old City is situated in District I Stare Miasto. Even though the words Stare Miasto mean 'old town', it should not be confused with the historic old town of Krakow itself, as the medieval old town is only a small central part of District I Stare Miasto.

Some of the communities around the edge of Kraków show the authentic Polish life away from the tourist-focused economy of the centre.
