Resort Information
Krakow, the former royal capital of Poland, is one of Europe's best kept secrets - a medieval city which has been completely unspoilt. Inscribed on the UNESCO list of World Cultural Heritage sites, Krakow is centred around the Main Market Square with the famous Cloth Hall and bell tower. The square is full of lovely cafés where you can sample some Polish cuisine at extremely reasonable prices. Spend the day visiting some of the magnificent sites including the Royal Castle, or browse the shops selling amber jewelry and Polish arts and crafts. However you spend your days in Krakow you will be surrounded by beautiful sites and receive an extremely warm welcome.

Twin Centre Suggestion
The beautiful city of Krakow is an 'add-on' option to combine with your stay in Zakopane. Why not stay for 7 nights at the Hotel Czarny Potok in Zakopane and then extend your holiday with 3 or 4 nights in the Hotel Campanile in Krakow, both excellent hotels in great locations.
Your stay in Krakow can be taken before or after Zakopane transferring by minibus between the two (transfers may be via Krakow airport).
