Krakow

Krakow - a city of kings

Krakow - the former capital of Poland, the historic residence of kings, and today a dynamically developing metropolis, a city of culture and art. The turbulent history of the region and the interpenetration of different nationalities living here for centuries have resulted in an extraordinary cultural heritage. The history of the city, museums and monuments, the hospitality of the residents, as well as an attractive tourist offer, modern accommodation and congress infrastructure encourage you to come to Krakow.

The academic centre, with its 650-year-old University, is permanently connected with the city and builds an unrepeated resource of knowledge in a unique way. It is the key to competitiveness and innovation not only of Krakow, but also of the entire region. The intensively developing economy based on knowledge is a completely new process in the economic life of the city, which makes it part of the modern economies of the world.
