Krakow, Poland Cruises

Krakow, Poland Cruise Port

• Within Kraków's Old Town, you'll find the Main Market Square. Dating back to the 13th century, it's one of Europe's largest medieval town squares with historic townhouses, churches, and monuments. There are plenty of shops and food around the square, and the towers from St. Mary's Basilica provide a heavenly backdrop.
   
• Speaking of the basilica – also known as the Church of Our Lady Assumed into Heaven or St. Mary's Church – this is place that can be appreciated by religious and non-religious alike. Between the art inside and the plaintive trumpet tune played each hour, the church's Polish Cathedral style served as a model for other European churches.
   
• Like something out of a storybook, the Royal Wawel Castle is a Gothic delight. Built at the command of Casimir III the Great, the castle and Wawel Hill together make up one of the most historically and culturally important sites in Poland. Today, the castle is one of the country's premier art museums.
   
• Anyone who has seen the film Schindler's List knows the story of intrepid Kraków businessman Oskar Schindler; visit the atmospheric Oskar Schindler's Factory to get an up-close view of what life was like during World War II for Polish Jews.
