Krakow , a city in southern Poland, has a beautiful medieval Old Town that dates back as far as the 7th century, when it was a busy Slavonic trading center. It is situated around the picturesque Vistula River and has many castles and churches and even a walled city center fronted by the gates of the majestic barbican. Visitors can shop for amber jewelry and souvenirs at the historic Cloth Hall and, if they listen carefully, they'll even hear the notes of the bugle being played from the tower of St. Mary's Basilica. Locals tell stories of the Krakow Dragon, and this legendary beast is featured throughout the city in souvenirs, statues, and more.
