The Most Impressive Buildings in Krakow
Thanks to its rich history and glorious royal past, it should hardly come as a surprise that Krakow is packed to bursting with impressive buildings. Here’s a selection of some that are sure to draw a gasp, ranging from Renaissance trading halls to brutalist monuments from the communist era. Check them out…
1. The Wawel Castle
No list of Krakow’s most impressive buildings could possibly be complete without at least a mention of the colossal castle complex that dominates the whole skyline of the city. Towering atop the meanders of the Vistula River, this hilltop fortress was once the domain of the Polish kings and queens. It’s suitably grandiose, with Renaissance arcades, gold-gilded chapels, Gothic belfries and some formidable fortifications all around. It’s not to be missed!
