\"Krakow<\/p>\n

One of the most charming places is Podg\u00f3rze<\/strong> district with its narrow streets, that sometimes run very steeply \u2013 especially in the area of Krzemionki<\/strong> Podg\u00f3rskie<\/strong> (limestone cliffs which start at the back of the picturesque neo-Gothic St. Joseph<\/strong> church. Wandering through the Bednarski Park<\/strong> located on the site of a former quarry could be a wonderful experience as well. This trip can be combined with visiting the nearby Romanesque church of St. Benedict<\/strong> on the slope of Lasota Hill. <\/strong>Entrance to the church is possible only on the saint patron\u2019s day and the R\u0119kawka<\/strong> feast. The last one is an old tradition of celebrating the first Tuesday after Easter by cheerful fair and by\u2026 rolling round cakes down the hill. Genesis of these celebrations lies deep in pagan times. Speaking about\u2026 Be sure to see also the Mound of Krak<\/strong> an ancient burial mound (most likely) on the top of Lasota Hill and see from its summit a fantastic panorama of Krakow. From this viewpoint You will also see former \u2018Liban\u2019 quarry<\/strong>. Before exploring Podg\u00f3rze<\/strong> take a look also to our article dedicated to the Krakow ghetto<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"BenedictineKrakow less kown attractions – what else?<\/h3>\n

Trip to estate of villas called Salwator <\/strong>may be another fantastic experience. A walk down the Anczyca <\/strong>or Gontyny Street<\/strong> with their modern houses from the beginning of 20th<\/sup> century (surrounded by beautiful gardens!) is a great pleasure. A tiny but outstanding Romanesque church of the Holy Saviour<\/strong> is situated nearby, as well as the buildings of the Norbertine convent<\/strong> with a remarkable history dated back to Middle Ages.\u00a0 So as you can see, this area is so picturesque that you can hang around there for hours!<\/p>\n

We also encourage You to take a trip to one of the monasteries on the outskirts of Krakow. We highly recommend the Benedictine Abbey<\/strong> in Tyniec\u00a0<\/strong>(monks were settled there in the 11th century). There is a beautiful church with early mediaeval crypts and monastic cloisters, as well as great historical exhibition. You can also buy some local organic products in the monastery shop. We have prepared for You a sightseeing program<\/a> enriched by descriptions and photographs of the magnificence of the abbey.<\/p>\n

Quite an extraordinary experience could be also a trip to the Camaldolese Monastery<\/strong> in Bielany<\/strong>. Monastery was set up on the Silver Mountain<\/strong> in the Sowiniec <\/strong>(splendid local range of hills) and is rarely available to the public (for women only for 12 days a year), but the area itself is very picturesque (Silver Mountain slopes are covered by vineyards). Many picturesque hiking Krakow trails runs nearby – route to the Krakow<\/strong> Zoo<\/strong>, to the Mound<\/strong> of J\u00f3zef Pilsudski<\/strong> with its beautiful view of the city and many paths through the Wolski Forest<\/strong>, one of the best relaxation areas in the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
