Founded back in the 7th Century, Krakow has been able to maintain its historic charm as it has transitioned into a modern city. The center of Krakow, which includes the Old Town, Kazimierz and the Wawel Castle, is considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Krakow has long been one of the cultural and educational centers in Central Europe. That is still the case today. The city boasts no less than 28 museums and public art galleries. A must-see for anyone visiting the city is the Czartoryski Museum, which features works by Leonardo, Raphael, and Rembrandt among others.

Many people who go to Krakow also make a trip to nearby Auschwitz, home of the infamous Nazi concentration camp. It is a sobering place to visit but one that is invaluable in understanding the events of World War II and the Holocaust.

Airfare to Krakow, Poland from the United States can actually be quite reasonable and once you are in the historic city you will be more than happy with your decision to visit one of the jewels of Europe.
