To complete the diversity and advantages offered by our Royal City of Krakow, after visiting the nearby valleys and the beautifully developed Zakrzówek, we set off for Floriańska, Sukiennice and Wawel. The Old Town is as beautiful as ever, the atmosphere is wonderful! And fortunately, there aren't that many people 😁.
