Free Tour Old Town Krakow

Free Tour of the Old Town of Krakow 

Krakow is one of the most historic and important cities in Poland and Eastern Europe. Located on the banks of the Vistula river, its old town was declared UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978. Its historic center stands out for the contrast between its medieval architecture and the post-World War II constructions, reflecting a city that has managed to rebuild itself without losing its identity. Moreover, its recent history is marked by the Nazi occupation and the creation of the Krakow ghetto, which adds an even deeper dimension to its heritage.
