Neighbourhood
Our appartment in Krakow, two tram stops/walking distance from the Central Train Station and the Main Square and all the best attractions of the former capital of Poland. The neighborhood is serene, with wide streets lined by mature trees. The best place to live in a busy, touristy Krakow if you enjoy peace and quiet.
Krakow itself is the main attraction though. In the middle ages and early modernity was an established seat of power, learning, and trade. It was a major urban centre, a cradle of secular and church authorities and (with a university founded in 1364) a city linked by a network of intellectual and commertial connections with other European kingdoms.
Its past shapes its future: the historical centre, with the biggest mediaeval square in Poland, has been constructed and reconstructed for 8 centuries. There is the Wawel castle, with its stunning collection of Renaissance tapestries, beautiful churches, gothic university buildings, numerous museums, and the former Jewish quarter. Foodies will be happy too, as well as those who want to stroll in the city's parks, ride a bike along Vistula river, or just rewind in one of many cafes that line Krakow's streets.
Public transport will take you everywhere, including stunning saltmines of Wieliczka.
Getting to my home
When getting to Krakow's Main Train Station (e.g. from the airport) you can get to my place on foot or by bus or tram (two stops in each case).

I am a university teacher and a historian researching early printed books. But not a collector, so you will not find any such items in my house. Sorry, no chance for a Gutenberg Bible! There are books and children's toys and a coffee machine instead... I enjoy nature (especially mountains and forests) and places of historical intrest. But when when travelling I often do it with my family, who loves horses, dogs and animals in general, who enjoys beaches and sunshine, as well as reading books in a quiet corner. We have two dogs, but, as a rule they do not travel with us and stay in Poland with a person they know and like. We will be more than happy to take care of your pets, while you are away though.
