Krakow became the second city, which we visited in Poland. I do not know how in winter, and in the warm season I seemed very sunny and bright. Especially the historic center looks like the pictures - festively and solemnly.
The first thing was decided to see Krakow's market square. Something resembles other cities with similar architecture, for example, Wroclaw. Cozy place where various restaurants and cafes are located. Sitting in a cafe, you can safely enjoy the beauty around and even get the famous tuber music. It turns out that in Poland there is an old or legend, whether the excellent. Once, a long time ago, Tatars army approached the city. The watchman on the church tower saw an impending threat and began to spend all his strength to notify the inhabitants. He played until the enemy arrow killed him. And the tradition has been established - at a certain time, trumpeters play on the Tower of the Mariat Church. This melody is transmitted throughout the country on the radio. In the end, he can make his hand. It is believed that this is a great leading. In general, we did not even know about it. Just sitting in a street cafe alongside, and suddenly heard the game on the pipe, the exclamations of people, gathered a small crowd, looking for this mysterious messenger. After all, to see him - also to good luck.
We visited the vintage Wawel Castle. This is a whole huge complex of facilities. Incredibly pompous and majestic. Wawel is the main symbol of Krakow, one can say his business card. When we came there, not everything was open to visiting on that day. But watched the famous bell tower. And with this place is also associated with an interesting belief. To attract good luck, it is necessary to touch the bell. Then expect well-being and accomplishment of all desires.
The Jewish quarter has a special atmosphere. Called cashemge. It is interesting to walk through this block. Even cafes here are described peculiar and correspond to the general style of this area. Here you can find a valid synagogue.
In general, Krakow has unhurried, long walks. An interesting city with a special history.
