Historical stay in Krakow

The clue is in the name at Central Palace – which has snagged a prime spot on the edge of Krakow’s Old Town, just a stone’s throw from the city’s main square. Though the hotel is housed in an 18th century historical building, the décor here is bang up to date, with a touch of understated luxury that’s sure to be the cherry on top of your stay.

If a nosy around the shops is part of your quintessential city break, you’re in luck. Right next door to the hotel you’ll find Galeria Krakowska – with more shops than you can shake a stick at. For a taste of the history on offer here, stroll through the characterful streets of the Old Town and marvel at the architecture. From Gothic churches to Renaissance-era buildings, there’s plenty to be discovered here. At the far end of the Old Town – less than 20 minutes’ walk from the hotel – you’ll find Wawel Royal Castle, the grounds of which are also home to a cathedral and a museum.

Wondering about where you’ll eat? You’ll be spoiled for choice. Whether you opt to wander the nearby streets in search of your next meal, or hop on the tram (which is just two minutes’ walk from the hotel), you’ll be sure to find something which will tickle your fancy. From traditional Polish restaurants and cosy local pubs to trendy cocktail bars and haute cuisine, there might just be something for everyone here.

Find out more about Krakow City

Krakow might be Poland’s second largest city, but in terms of culture, it's very much the capital. There’s evidence that the city has been around since 20,000 BC, and there’s a delightful local myth that the city was built on the site where a dragon was slain. As you'll discover, there's a lot to capture the imagination on a holiday to Krakow City. As the political capital of Poland for 500 years, you can expect to see a city filled to the brim with castles, cobbled alleys and a unique mixture of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. These buildings miraculously survived World War II - a fact that makes them not just unique to Poland, but to Europe. Whether it’s museum hunting and castle touring you’re looking for, or just some fun and culture, we think you’ll love Krakow as much as we do.
