Krakow is a beautiful medieval city with architecture that is intricate and amazing to look at. It is the capital of Lesser Poland and is home to the biggest town square in all of Europe. The city likes to remind you of it roots with plenty of men and women dressing in traditional garb around the main square. During Easter the market is a hustle and bustle of merchants peddling their wears, cooks dishing out delicious meals and blacksmiths hammering their anvil to make traditional metalwork for the tourists. All of Krakow's buildings are reconstructed from original blueprints after the unfortunate felling of the entire city during WW2. None the less, Krakow gives you a sense of Unity and integrity like no other. Being situated so close to such surreal places such as Auschwitz and Schindler factory, its more then just a tourist attraction, it is a place where we can come to an understanding about the horrific events that have taken place in this country more then any history book could ever attempt to convey
