As Poland’s second city, there’s never a shortage of things to do in Krakow. The Wawel Castle and Cathedral, for example, are some of the most popular attractions in the city and house an amazing collection of medieval artefacts that are sure to fascinate the young and old alike. While the Polish Aviation Museum provides a unique insight into the country’s airborne past, with a world-class collection of planes and helicopters. But for something a little more natural, the aptly named Planty Park is a great spot to relax after a long day in Krakow City Centre. Its ornate flower arrangements and pristinely manicured grass make it well worth a visit - just don’t forget to take your camera with you!
