So , to be honest I lived in
this city for 9 years and I don't took any photo. Shame on me, I know. But when you are living in some place is not easy to do that. Some artist said that in one day
in a month we should be like a turist in our city. It's truth, definitly it is.

Good question? Because looking on the map of Poland you can't find another place like Krakow,
where on each sq.m. fall one pub and one gallery. Impressing, yeah?
This city is full of life - old and dignity but with young spirit. Almost in each corner we can find art, which is coming out from galleries to the streets.
If you are looking for:
fascinating exhibition,
interesting artists,
or small photo exhibitions in pubs or cafes...
YOU ARE IN A PERFECT CITY :))

'Who wants to discover polish soul should it searches in Krakow' - wrote Wilhelm Feldman.
Krakow throb of scientific and artistic life with his unique package presented in museums,
galleries and churches. In the past was called as a north Athens or a second Rome. One of oldest point in Poland, which fulfilled role of capital of state in the past. It is one of main cultural centre, tourist and
educational in Poland.
Krakow is such amazing city, where history goes with modernity, legends during numerous cultural festivals alive, and
people long time ago stop to be surprised about that. Anyway, we can not find there ordinary people. Artists face each other in Krakow cafes, routes are crossed of representatives of different
nationalities, different religion, trouble-makers and pilgrims.
Trying to see how various is Krakow we need to see the picture of three different quarters, such as Old Town, Kazimierz and Nowa Huta. This tree quarters making
inccredible atmosphere in Krakow. So, let's go...
