Kraków - the historical capital of Poland
Kraków, the second biggest Polish city and the former capital of Poland, has been enchanting with its magic for hundreds of years. The city, first mentioned in 965, is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Vistula River, and is a true urban phenomenon. Since 1978, the Old Town and the Kazimierz district are included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Zakopane, located in the Małopolskie province, about 100 km from Kraków, has been a center of active recreation for years. Located at the foot of the majestic Tatra Mountains, Zakopane offers a wide range of leisure activities, including skiing, hiking, backpacking and many more.
