Krakow, the second largest and one of the best preserved cities in Poland, is a must-visit city for all students of twentieth century History and R.E, as well as Art and Business Studies student group educational trips.

Situated on the Vistula River, the city dates back to the 7th century and is one of Poland's most important economic and cultural hubs. Founded upon the mythological defeat of a dragon, Krakow is home to soaring castles, magnificent architecture and Europe's largest market square. Take a visit to The Old Town and explore towering churches, fascinating museums and the vast Rynek Główny Square. The former Jewish quarter is a must-visit for History students, where its striking synagogues sit as poignant remnants of the tragic events of 20th century. 

The once royal capital now boasts a modern buzz, with a plethora of trendy restaurants and bustling medieval streets and squares. A perfect trip for Religious Studies students, visitors to Krakow can also experience the sombre Auschwitz concentration camp, about an hours drive from the city.
