Kraków is one of the largest and oldest cities in Poland and is found in the southern section of the country on the Vistula River. Evidence shows that settlers have lived in the area since the seventh century, beginning with the Slavonic tribe of Wiślanie. The city was the capital of Poland until 1596 when King Sigismund III Vasa changed it to Warsaw. You can see all kinds of stunning architectural beauty in and around the city from art nouveau to Renaissance, Gothic, and Romanesque.
Even though Kraków is not the capital anymore, it is considered the cultural capital where you can find over 50 museums, memorials, and galleries. The city is a major tourist attraction for over 13 million people a year. Some of the major attractions include St. Mary’s Basilica, Wawel Castle, Zygmunt Bell, and St. Florian’s Gate. Some natural attractions include the Ojców National Park, Tatra Mountains, and Wieliczka salt mine.
The weather in Kraków can be chilly with an average low temperature of 40 and the average high only reaching 55 degrees. Summertime temperatures rarely get higher than 76 degrees, so you don’t have to worry about getting overheated here. But if you come during the winter, bundle up because the low temperatures are in the 20s.

From crafting in the Tatra Mountains to tools and workshops, you will find thousands of items to see. The exhibition looks at four perspectives.
Cat Museum: If you like cats, head over to the Cat Museum on Floriańska Street in the middle of the city.

Their cat, Nataliya, is the only live cat on the property, and she considers it her home.
