THINGS TO SEE

Nowa Huta, the largest district of Kraków, is far from being a run-of-the-mill place. Visitors to Nowa Huta will learn about the earliest history (Wanda Mound) of the eastern fringes of Kraków, whose vast cultural and historic heritage also includes the “unwanted” legacy of the post 1949 period – during which outstanding Polish architects and city-planners erected very interesting buildings (now classed as historic).
