UNFORGETTABLE STAY IN HISTORICAL KRAKOW
Located in the Old Podgórze district – an area of Poland’s capital city that’s rich in wartime history – a stay at the Xerion Hotel is ideal if you love to immerse yourself in European culture. And Podgórze’s past means there are plenty of interesting sights to tick off.
Take a two-minute stroll from the hotel to Rynek Podgórski – the main square and home to the Gothic splendour of St Joseph’s Church. Schindler’s Enamel Factory is also just a 15-minute walk away. Once owned by World War Two hero, Oskar Schindler, it now houses two museums – the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Historical Museum of Krakow. Be sure to visit both for an insight into the fascinating history of Podgórze.
If you’d rather take a lesser trodden path, wander 10 minutes south to the Krzemioniki district. Here you’ll find a picturesque collection of limestone cliffs that overlook Old Podgórze and promise incredible panoramic views and unmissable photo opportunities. While you’re there, take a hike to Lasota Hill and visit the imposing Fort Benedict – a mid-19th Century citadel with a unique 16-sided appearance.
After a day of exploring, head to the Father Bernatek Footbridge and work your way through the selection of coffee shops, bars, and restaurants. The hotel restaurant also serves up a breakfast buffet in the morning, plus a diverse range of dishes at lunch and dinnertime. With the whole of Podgórze and its famous landmarks to discover, this will surely be a break to remember.
