The capital of Poland for 500-plus years until 1609, Krakow is a fantastic repository of historically important churches, houses, university buildings plus the hilltop Wawel Castle. The Market Square in Old Town, covering about 10 acres and sometimes described as Europe's largest surviving medieval square, is built around the distinctive 16th century Cloth Hall, clear evidence of the city's importance as a trade centre.
