Kraków River Cruises
Dating to the 7th century, Kraków has long been a leading academic, cultural and artistic center of Poland. The city grew up around Wawel Castle, which stands on its namesake hill and was once the residence of kings. The adjacent Wawel Cathedral, 900 years old, has witnessed royal coronations and the ordination of local priest Karol Wojtyła, who was elevated to become Pope John Paul II in 1978. Kraków’s vast, 13th-century Market Square is the largest medieval town square in Europe, and one of the continent’s most unique, thanks to the enormous Renaissance Cloth Hall that dominates its center.
