Lesser Poland
Kraków
Poland's medieval crown — UNESCO-listed, royally elegant, quietly bohemian.
For seven centuries Kraków was Poland's capital. The Wawel hill, the largest medieval market square in Europe, the Kazimierz Jewish quarter and the cellar cafés below: this is the city travellers fall hardest for.
