Your Holiday Centre
Krakow is a beautiful and historic city. It is the second largest and one of the oldest cities in Poland. Situated on the Vistula River, the city dates from 7th century. Krakow 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 1978, Karol Wojtyla, archbishop of Krakow, was elevated to the papacy as Pope John Paul II - the first Slavic pope ever, and the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. Also that year, UNESCO approved the first ever sites for its new World Heritage list, including the entire Old Town in inscribing Krakow's Historic Centre.
