Poland's Top Picks
Top 5 Heritage Spots of Krakow
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
