    Gem Kazimierz! Gothic building from the times of Władysław II Jagiełło. The Church has the largest authorities in Krakow.

    We visited this beautiful church in the Jewish quarter, Kazimierz, as part of a city tour. The outside is pretty unremarkable but the interior took my breath away! I recommend taking 15 minutes out of...  more »

  • Corpus Christi Church in Krakow is a fine Gothic church dating from the mid-1300s. The impressive brick church has a rich interior with several side chapels. Notable features include a high altar from 1634, the superb choir stalls of 1629, and an interesting mid-18th-century pulpit shaped like a boat. An upper chapel contains a Madonna by Lucas Cranach (c.1520). The adjacent monastery dates from 1405.

Where to stay in Krakow

©
Krakow ranks among one of Europe's increasingly popular tourist destinations, which is reflected in the rising costs of comfortable lodgings. The best hotels are concentrated in and around the historical old town, where five-star luxury comes at a very steep price. Old town hotels place you just steps from fine shops and restaurants, as well as the city's main museums and galleries. However, if your trip involves a tight budget, avoid the central district and check out mid-range hotels and economical hostels in one of the outlying neighborhoods.
