Cracow (Kraków):

The city which was the second capital of Poland (after Gniezno and before Warsaw), full of unique beauty and climate, doubtlessly can be called the tourist capital of Poland.  It was for a reason that Cracow’s  Old Town and the Wieliczka Salt Mine, located nearby were inscribed on the first UNESCO World Heritage List, as early as in 1978. The Market Square is the largest medieval square in Europe. It is dominated by the towers of St. Mary's Church, where it is a must to stop at a full hour to listen to the hourly bugle-call and greet the firefighter performing it. The gem of the church is a wooden altar made by the ingenious  German sculptor Veit Stoss. You should also visit the Wawel Hill. Its buildings:  the Royal Castle and Cathedral are inextricably linked with the Polish history; the latter houses relics of the Polish Saints: Stanislaus and Hedwig and tombs of most Polish kings. Without a doubt, it is also worth visiting the former Jewish district - Kazimierz, which will enchant you with the unique charm of a world that no longer exists. Both the Market Square and Kazimierz district are full of thematic restaurants and bars, each of which having its unique atmosphere, often working till late.
