The real capital of Poland is Warsaw but Krakow is called a Cultural Capital of Poland. Krakow is the most popular city in Poland, especially among foreign tourists. This city is visited by millions every year. The tourist season lasts the whole year. It’s no matter if it is winter or summer. When you walk down Florianska Street you’re hearing so many different languages! It’s just amazing! There are crowds all the time, but this means the city is full of positive energy. Even by night, it is still alive, it seems like people who live here would like to celebrate something every evening. This city never falls asleep.
Walking down the streets, you’re watching laughing people, who are talking and relaxing in pubs and restaurant gardens. Moreover, on every corner of Market Square, you can hear music, not only from these pubs and restaurants but what is charming, from Krakow’s traditional musicians. Or even more popular Polish music groups like Krakow Street Band, playing blues music for surprised passers-by. And there are also many foreign musicians playing on the streets, just for fun and sometimes they are very famous musicians in Europe but (what is funny) they are unrecognised inhere. You can meet a lady who is selling red roses to couples in love, or see the happy couple waiting in front of the church. This makes Krakow a unique and very romantic city.
