Two days in Krakow

Hi!
Last weekend I went to Krakow to see Mariah Carey on her tour. You can read more about it HERE. So I wanted to show you some pictures from Krakow. I have been mostly in places in the city center. I do not have a big knowledge about Krakow but I think that those beautiful pics that I have taken and some info that I found are good enough to show this amazing city! Next time I would like to come again to Krakow on summertime to stay a little long and to see Aushwitz and Wieliczka salt mine and a little more of a city.

The city is the second biggest city in Poland with a population of 762 508 people. Krakow is one of the oldest cities in Poland (1257- city rights). Krakow was the capital city of Poland several times. The longest period of being the capital city was 499 years (1296-1795).
