From here, we move through Plac Jana Matejki, named for Poland’s most celebrated historical painter, where grand monuments and architectural splendor tell stories of national pride and resilience. As we enter Old Town, the heart of medieval Kraków, we will stroll down streets once walked by kings, scholars, and merchants, passing Gothic churches, Renaissance palaces, and the echoes of the city’s golden age.
