"KRAKOW - MY HOME TOWN" Krakow by Maggies

Krakow Travel Guide: 4,393 reviews and 10,165 photos

Krakow is my home town and certainly the best and only place to live in Poland. It's also a must see for anybody visiting Poland. Come and see for yourself!!!
The Old City Centre was classified by UNESCO as one of the 12 most precious monuments in the world.
Krakow is the place where Nicolas Copernicus studied and made the earth spin and stopped the sun. It was home to Pope John Paul II, he studied and then lived here before moving to Vatican. Helena Rubinstein came from Krakow and this is also where famous director Roman Polanski lived... It was also here, where the peep show was invented.

www.CracowOnline.com is the best site to search for tips about Krakow life, sightseeing tours and current events. Also, you can find the best accommodation offers with Cracow Hotel Finder.
Krakow official web site will give you many informations about my lovely home town. So don't hesitate and take a look.
In your pocket - Kraków also gives you lots of info. It's not that official and quite funny.

Most of the pictures on this page are downloaded from the other sites.

I'm coming to Poland for the first time and your tips are very good. It is obvious that you love your city and you give good reasons for that love.
