Cracow
is a rarity in eastern Europe in that it escaped significant
damage during World War II. That, in addition to its
historic role as ancient capital of Poland, make it
a fantastic tourist destination. In recent years many
new hotels have opened, and Tour Designs has access
to the best, in a variety of price ranges.
Explore
Wawel Castle and Cathedral, Market Square's Cloth Hall,
Jagiellonian University, and the historic Jewish center
of Kazimierz. While easy to explore on foot and on your
own, let Tour Designs complete your visit with the knowledge
and introduction only a professional guide can offer.
Out
of town, let us introduce you to two incredible destinations.
The Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial details the appalling
central role these camps played in the Holocaust. The
incredible Wieliczka Salt Mines offer an amazing display
of artwork, chapels and sculpture let behind during
more than 700 years of extracting salt.
Further
afield, the monastery of Jasna Gora in Czestochowa is
the Catholic center of Poland, and a visit to see its
Black Madonna interesting from the standpoint of history
as well as faith. Or, head into the Tatra Mountains
and the resort of Zakopane.
Whatever
your interests, Tour Designs will introduce you to a
fascinating city and region in Poland.
