SIGHTS AND LANDMARKS OF KRAKOW

The ancient Kraków is not only the metropolis of southern Poland, but also the capital of the Polish culture. Three years ago, when we were passing through Kraków for the first time, the parks and squares of this beautiful city were decorated by four-meter chess rooks reminding the chess game to the passersby. Speaking about the historic sights of Kraków, you definitely shouldn't skip Wawel - the castle and the Cathedral, from where Pope John Paul II went to Vatican, and also alleys of old town and markets in the Jewish Quarter.
