Krakow:
Considered one of Poland’s most beautiful cities, Krakow holidays are both an affordable city break and the perfect base to explore southern Poland. Having survived, mostly, the brutality of the WWII bombings, Krakow’s preserved medieval and Jewish core is completely charming.
There’s an old-world magic to Krakow’s narrow streets which bustle with a modern atmosphere. Chic vintage shops huddle close to the crumbling walls of Jewish cemeteries and the stately architecture on Rynek Glowny (the main market square) stand over the ramshackle bars and restaurants of a buzzing culinary and arts scene.
Amadeus Hotel
Hotel Amadeus is situated in Kraków’s Old Town, 250 yards from the Main Market. It offers air-conditioned rooms with satellite TV and a free Wi-Fi in a 16th century building.
Thanks to its location, Kraków’s most popular landmarks, shops and restaurant are within 350 yards. This includes the Cloth Hall, St. Mary’s Basilica and Floriańska Street.
Kraków Główny Railway Station and Galeria Krakowska are both 750 yards from the hotel. The Wawel Castle is 0.7 miles from the Amadeus.
Guests can relax in the Amadeus’s fitness centre, hot tub and sauna. The hotel’s staff is available 24/7 and offers such services as dry cleaning, car rental and luggage storage.
