Krakow is famous for its stag party destination tag but there are many other reasons to visit Krakow. The 500 odd bars and restaurants in the old city centre are the major attractions.
The Grand Square of the Krakow old city is the largest medieval plaza in Europe. Krakow was crowned the European City of Culture for the millennium because of the variety of colour and excitement available. Though Krakow is not the capital of Poland, it still retains the tag of the cultural capital. The awe inspiring Wawel castle and cathedral which are located overlooking the River Vistula is a reminder of the past of the city. This cathedral contains the marble tombs of the kings, queens and other leaders right from the medieval times to the recent years.
Krakow is also close to Kazimierz which was the location of Oskar Schindler's factory from the Schindler's List fame. This list saved many Jewish workers from concentration camps during the occupation of Poland by Germany. The place is now a museum and has some original pieces that the factory had made.
