Located in Lesser Poland (south), Krakow is tucked along the Vistula River. The Vistula bends through Krakow’s southerly sections before crossing the Sandomierz Basin (east / northeastward) and ultimately emptying into the Baltic Sea (near Gdańsk). Not far from the Czech Republic and Slovakia borders, Krakow is home to Europe’s largest medieval town square (Rynek Główny aka Main Market Square – approx. 430,556 square feet). Pronounced Kiddack-oof, Krakow was once Poland’s capital city.

Krakow accommodations are some of Poland’s best. Before we get to Krakow accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

 

 

Dating to the 7th-century AD, Krakow was once Poland’s capital city (until 1596). A Stone Age settlement likely existed at Wawel Hill. Legend has it that Krakus (mythical ruler) founded a settlement above Smok Wawelski’s (dragon) cave. Early-on (876 AD) Krakow was controlled by Moravia. Bohemian duke “Boleslaus I” captured Krakow in 955 but relinquished to “Mieszko I”, who incorporated the city into “Piast dynasty” holdings. In 1038 Krakow became the seat of the Polish government, and shortly thereafter a leading center for trade. Brick buildings (Royal Wawel Castle) and churches (St. Andrew’s Church) were built around that time. The “Mongols” invaded Krakow three times in the 13th century: 1241 (sacked & burned city), 1259 (Mongols repelled with help from newly-built fortifications aka “St. Florian’s Gate”) and 1287. During that time Bolesław V “the Chaste” rebuilt and incorporated the city (1257). King Casimir III “the Great” named two western suburbs “Kazimierz” (in his honor) in 1335. Around that time defensive walls were constructed. Founded in 1362 the University of Krakow (Jagiellonian University) would become Poland’s oldest and most prestigious university. Under the Jagiellonian dynasty the city continued to grow. Krakow became the Kingdom of Poland‘s capital and a Hanseatic League member. Craftsmen, businesses and guilds were drawn to the city, and science, arts and literature flourished. Poland’s “Golden Age” occurred during the 15th and 16th centuries at a time when Renaissance art and architecture was promoted throughout the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Kingdom’s borders reached as far as modern-day Estonia-Moldavia (north-to-south) and Moscow-Brandenburg (east-to-west). In 1520 Hans Behem cast “Royal Sigismund Bell” (Wawel Cathedral’s largest of five bells). Dying childless in 1572, King Sigismund II became the last Jagiellon dynasty king. Subsequently the Polish throne passed to Henry III of France, and foreign rulers thereafter. The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth ‘s administrative capital moved from Krakow to Warsaw in 1596. Sigismund III (House of Vasa) moved the capital due to a Swedish invasion and a bubonic plague outbreak. The “Partitions of Poland” (late-18th century) drew an end to the 123-year Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as overseen by the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire and the Habsburg monarchy. The “Free City of Cracow” was incorporated into Austria on November 16, 1846, thus creating the “Grand Duchy of Krakow”. Polish artists such as Jan Matejko resided in Krakow around that time. In 1901 running water and streetcars were introduced to Krakow. Surrounding suburban communities amalgamated into Greater Krakow between 1910 and 1915. At World War I’s onset Russian troops besieged the city briefly (1914). Austria’s rule over Krakow ended in 1918, when the “Polish Liquidation Committee” took control and a “Second Polish Republic” was established. Around that time multiple universities were created (AGH University of Science and Technology, Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts, etc.) and Krakow became a cultural center for Zionist and Bundist Jews. Nazi-Germany invaded Poland in September, 1939. Krakow became part of the “General Government” (General Governate for the Occupied Polish Region), a separate administrative region of the Third Reich. Based in Wawel Castle, Hans Frank (Nazi Governor-General) was tasked with turning Krakow into a completely Germanized city after the removal of Jews and Poles. Locations / streets would be translated / reposted into German and “propaganda” would portray the city as being historically German. Jewish ghettos formed in December, 1939. Five months later Auschwitz (concentration camp) became operational. The Soviet Union entered and took control of Krakow on January 18, 1945. Structurally, Krakow had remained relatively undamaged by the end of World War II. The “Polish People’s Republic” (1947-1989 – Central-European puppet-state under Stalinist totalitarian regime) saw Krakow transform into a Marxist industrial center.  Cardinal-archbishop Karol Wojtyła (Pope John Paul II) successfully lobbied (1964-1978) to build the Marxist-Krakow suburbs’ first churches. The “Revolutions of 1989” were prompted by a 1986 Polish workers’ mass-strike. Demonstrated throughout Central / Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia, the 1989 “Fall of Communism” would see an end to most communist states and the Cold War, and would mark the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union.

Home to around 800,000 “Cracovians”, Krakow is Poland’s second largest city (behind Warsaw). Cracow accommodates about 13 million annual visitors (3 million from abroad). Resounding hourly at Saint Mary’s Basilica (Old Town), “St. Mary’s Trumpet Call” is a traditional, five-note bugle call. Surrounded by uplands (northward), lowlands (eastward) and Carpathian foothills (southward), Krakow is divided into 18 administrative districts (dzielnica). About 40 parks (gardens / forests) are found throughout the city. Characterized by a temperate-oceanic climate, Krakow experiences pleasant summers and cold, often snowy, winters. July high temperatures average around 78 °F, while average January winter highs are a few degrees above freezing. Caused by the city’s proximity to the Tatra Mountains, “Foehn wind” (halny– dry, warm, downslope wind) can cause temperatures to rise relatively rapidly.
