Krakow is known for being culturally diverse, with residents from not only Poland, but also from Germany, Russia, and many other cultural groups from Eastern Europe. You can see this diversity in Krakow’s architecture, as there are buildings in several styles such as Gothic, Baroque, Orthodox, Soviet, and Modern.

Krakow’s Old Town is full of interesting Polish and medieval history. The city and its surroundings also boast several UNESCO world heritage sites such as, the Wawel Castle, the 16th-century park at Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, the city’s Kazimierz district, and perhaps most famous, the Wieliczka salt mine, which has 190 miles (300km) of underground tunnels, and has been functional for the last 700 years. In addition, Krakow also has many historical churches, museums, and monuments, and opera houses for history and art lovers alike.
