Krakow being one of the largest and oldest cities of Poland, is a perfect place for a cheap and easy weekend getaway from Germany. One can opt for the free walking tours for their old town krakow tour and it is totally worth it. The main sightseeing spots of the Old town include the St Mary’s Basilica, Rynek Glowny, old university building, John Paul II sites and finally the Wavel Castle.

The oldest and second largest city in Poland, Krakow is stunning to the core and is encapsulated by a fantastical atmosphere. Architecture is all-pervading and is a brilliant amalgamation of fragments of the present and the golden past. The places that are a must visit here are Wawel royal castle,Rynek glowny, Wieliczka salt mine and the cloth hall. While the cityscape will strongly remind you of Budapest and a little bit of Prague, perhaps because of the essence of European cities. One can rent a car in Krakãw, and explore further afield in the former royal capital. In fact, at the Royal Wawel Castle, a 16th-century palace that is a national landmark for Poles, you’ll see the old state rooms and private apartments of the Polish monarchy.
