My journey to Krakow was a captivating experience, taking me deep into the heart of one of Poland’s most historic and culturally rich cities.

Known as the country’s former royal capital, Krakow is a city where every street seems to whisper stories of the past, from medieval times to the present day.

As I wandered through the beautifully preserved Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, I was amazed by the architectural splendor of landmarks like the stunning Wawel Castle and the towering St. Mary’s Basilica, with its striking twin spires. The Rynek Glowny, Krakow’s central market square, is one of the largest medieval town squares in Europe and is a bustling hub of activity, where history and modern life converge.

A visit to the Kazimierz district offered a glimpse into the city’s Jewish heritage, with its historic synagogues and vibrant cultural scene.

Krakow’s rich history was further brought to life during my visit to the Schindler Factory Museum, where I gained a deeper understanding of the city’s experiences during World War II.

Through my photos, I hope to share the beauty and depth of Krakow, a city that has left an indelible mark on my heart. From its grand architecture to its poignant history, Krakow is a place where the past is ever-present, yet full of life and energy.
