Krakow ....variant English spelling Cracow; is one of the oldest and largest cities of Poland, with a 2004 population of 780,000 (1.4 million, counting adjacent communities). This historic city is situated on the Vistula (Wis艂a) River at the foot of Wawel Hill in the south of Little Poland (Ma艂opolska). It is the capital of the Lesser Poland Region (wojew贸dztwo ma艂opolskie) (since 1999); previously it was the capital of Krakow Region (since the 14th century).

Krakow has traditionally been one of the leading scientific, cultural, and artistic centres of the country, the former seat of the Polish kings and national capital, and is considered by many to still be the heart of Poland, due to its history of more than a thousand years. Krakow is also a major centre of local and international tourism, attracting seven million visitors per year.
The old city of Krakow (Stare Miasto) has a rich architecture, mostly Renaissance with some examples of Baroque and Gothic. Krakow's palaces, churches, and mansions display a richness of colour, architectural details, stained glass, paintings, sculptures, and furnishings.

Among the most notable of the city's hundreds of historic buildings are: the Royal Castle and Cathedral on Wawel Hill, where King John III Sobieski is buried; the medieval Old Town with its beautiful square; Market Square (200 meters on a side); dozens of old churches and museums; the 14th-century buildings of the Jagiellonian University; as well as Kazimierz, the historical centre of Krakow's Jewish religious and social life.

The Gothic St. Mary's Church (Ko艣ci贸艂 Mariacki, actually a basilica) stands by the market place. It was built in the 14th century and boasts a famous wooden altar carved by Wit Stwosz. Every hour, a trumpet call, the hejna艂 mariacki, is sounded from the church's main tower.

Krakow hosts many annual artistic events, including some of international significance, such as the festival of Short Feature Films, Biennial of Graphics, and the Jewish Culture Festival. There are several active theatres, including:

The Old Theatre (Krakow)
the Slowacki Theatre
Krakow Opera
Krakow Operetta
An ugly landmark is the incomplete high-rise Szkieletor.

Nearby points of interest, include the salt mine in Wieliczka, the Tatra Mountains, the historic city of Cz臋stochowa, the former concentration camp at Auschwitz, and Ojcowski National Park.

Krakow contains 28 museums and art galleries, such as the National Museum (Krakow) and Czartoryski Museum (Muzeum Czartoryskich).
