Krakow In Your Pocket
A city forged in battle, war, conquest and fate, Kraków is in many respects the most Polish of all this great nation’s cities. The ancient seat of kings and intelligentsia comes steeped in legend and myth, and evokes the most fanciful of images, from dragons occupying the catacombs of Wawel, to Tartar hordes repelled at the gates, to an earnest Vladimir Lenin plotting revolution while sitting in the city’s cafes. Kraków’s history is the stuff of fantasy.
OUR Krakow HIGHLIGHTS

Szara
An important looking restaurant which seems to draw most tourists at least once during their visit. Vaulted ceilings, crisp linen and an atmosphere of complete elegance make it a great venue for your special ‘last night meal’, and the food rarely disappoints.

Wierzynek
Quite a launch party this place: according to legend the opening night back in 1364 was attended by five kings and nine princes. Since then it’s been one esteemed guest after another, with former diners including De Gaulle, Bush, Castro and other bods who influence the way the globe spins, as well as starlets like Sophie Marceau and Kate Moss.
