As I wandered through the beautifully preserved Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, I was struck by the architectural splendor of landmarks such as the magnificent Wawel Castle and the soaring twin spires of St. Mary’s Basilica. The Rynek Główny, Krakow’s central market square, is one of the largest medieval squares in Europe—a bustling hub where history and modern life converge.

Krakow’s turbulent history came vividly to life at the Schindler Factory Museum, where I gained a deeper understanding of the city’s experiences during World War II.
