Top 5 Heritage Spots of Krakow

  1. Collegium Maius: Meaning 'Great College' in Latin, this 15th-century building, located in Jagiellonian University, has hosted such famous students as revolutionary astronomer Copernicus and spiritual leader Pope John Paul II. A visit here is a mind-expanding experience in art, science, history and architecture.
  2. Wawel Cathedral: Standing for more than a thousand years, this is the place where Pope John Paul II conducted his first Mass. If that's not impressive enough, add a crypt holding the bodies of some of Poland's most influential leaders and public figures and you've got one of Poland's most interesting and important buildings. Don't miss it!
  3. Wawel Royal Castle: Sitting on the edge of the Vistula River, this remarkable Gothic-style building acted as a home for Poland's royal family centuries ago. Featuring a valuable collection of historic paintings, tapestries and murals, this is a top spot to delve into European art treasures and classic architecture.
  4. Remuh Synagogue: While this small yet elegant synagogue may not be the grandest in scale or design, its historic value is unquestionable. Founded in 1553, it remains a place of worship for the local community and a place of pilgrimage for the world's Jewish people.
  5. Cloth Hall: Krakow's Renaissance-style Cloth Hall is a splendid building with a retail heritage. Once used as trading place for textiles and cloth back in the 14th century, nowadays the building houses shops, cafes and a museum. Located in the Main Square, this historic building looks best illuminated at night.
