About Kraków
Kraków is the second largest and
one of the oldest cities in Poland.
Situated on the Vistula River
(Polish: Wisła) in the Lesser
Poland region, the city dates back
to the 7th century. Kraków has
traditionally been one of the
leading
centres
of
Polish
academic, cultural, and artistic life
and is one of Poland's most
important economic hubs. In 2000,
Kraków was named European
Capital of Culture. The city will
also host the next World Youth
Day in 2016.
Developed over many centuries,
Kraków provides a showcase
setting for many historic styles of
architecture
via Wikipedia
Kraków's historic centre, which includes the Old Town, Kazimierz and the Wawel Castle, was included as the
first of its kind on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1978. The Stare Miasto is the most prominent
example of an old town in the country. For many centuries Kraków was the royal capital of Poland, until
Sigismund III Vasa relocated the court to Warsaw in 1596. The whole district is bisected by the Royal Road,
the coronation route traversed by the Kings of Poland. The Route begins at St. Florian's Church outside the
northern flank of the old city-walls in the medieval suburb of Kleparz; passes the Barbican of Kraków
(Barbakan) built in 1499, and enters Stare Miasto through the Florian Gate. It leads down Floriańska Street
through the Main Square, and up Grodzka to Wawel, the former seat of Polish royalty, overlooking the
Vistula river. Old Town attracts visitors from all over the World. Kraków historic centre is one of the 13 places
in Poland that are included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
On 05.11 at 18.30 all conference attendees are invited for guided tour through Kraków Old Town
and Wawel Castle. Please note, that number of places for a tour is limited. For those interested in
the excursion it is highly recommended to select this option in the registration form.
