Friday 30th May – Sunday 1st June 2008 at the Krakow Valley Country Club
Attractions
The Royal Castle on Wawel Hill
Kanonicza, the street usually taken to access the famous Wawel Hill, is short and fairly narrow. Yet it is one of the most important and ancient streets of the city; a street whose look has hardly changed over the centuries - authentic and very much alive. (MORE)
The Main Square - Rynek Glowny
