Walking Tour - Krakow's Old Town
Joined 2023
Krakow's Old Town boasts a unique charm as it remained untouched during World War II. The magnificent old buildings, beautiful façades, and remnants of medieval architecture create a captivating atmosphere that keeps visitors returning. Join me as I unveil the intriguing stories and legends hidden within these structures. We will dive into the medieval Krakow while also exploring subsequent centuries, including the impact of World War II.
