The Old Town of Krak\u00f3w has preserved its medieval urban layout. It used to be surrounded by defensive walls that were later replaced by the Planty<\/strong>, a curiously shaped park. Of the old fortifications only a fragment with the Florian Gate<\/strong>, a few towers and the Barbican have remained. The Main Market Square<\/strong> (10 acres) plays a role of Krak\u00f3w\u2019s salon. It\u2019s embellished by the Cloth Hall, St Mary\u2019s Church, a tiny St Adalbert\u2019s Church, the Town Hall Tower<\/strong> and many old houses, each with its own historical genealogy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost all sites and buildings that create the unique ambience of Krak\u00f3w can be found in the streets leading out from the Market Square or located in its closest vicinity: churches, monasteries and convents, palaces, old burgher houses and university buildings. Many museums with valuable collections are also located near the Main Market Square. Thirty-six Krak\u00f3w\u2019s museums house over two million objets d\u2019art, i.e. \u00bc of all Poland\u2019s museum possessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wawel<\/strong> is a special place for Poland\u2019s statehood \u2013 it\u2019s been always a symbol of our country\u2019s glorious past and of the power of former Commonwealth. Very attractive is the Royal Castle<\/strong> that acquired its Renaissance shape in the early 16th century. It shelters precious art collections that include 138 Renaissance tapestries manufactured by weavers of Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few million tourists who not only admire the city and its historical monuments but also take part in numerous
cultural events of international standing visit Krak\u00f3w every year. They also avail themselves of the services offered
by the multitude of top-class hotels, stylish restaurants, caf\u00e9s and pubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
