Cracow for over a thousand years now has been a centre of the Polish science, culture and arts. It is a magical city, which discovers more and more of its secrets during each visit. Mile Business Travel Service invites you to participate in the following tours around Cracow:

During this trip around Cracow you will se the Royal Castle, Wawel, the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice), St. Mary's Church and numerous other unique examples of the national heritage that no other city in Europe can boast. The visit begins with a stroll along the streets of Kazimierz, the Jewish district.

Further, the route takes us along Grodzka street to the Main Market Square. The point crowning the visit to Cracow is St. Mary's Basilica with a medieval altar by Veit Stoss (Wit Stwosz) and two lofty towers. From the top of the tallest tower, every day and every hour a bugle-call is played to four sides of the world to commemorate a brave trumpeter.

Kazimierz constitutes a south-western district of Cracow, which is a historic centre of the Jewish community in Cracow. Initially it was an independent town named after Casimir the Great (Kazimierz Wielki), however, as Cracow grew, in the 18th century Kazimierz became its part. A trip around Kazimierz allows us to visit the most interesting nooks of this district. First, these will include places connected with the "Schindler's List", a film by Steven Spielberg awarded with an Oscar. Then you will visit such Jewish historic sites as the Old Synagogue, the Synagogue and Cemetery of Remus. Finally, we will go to Plaszow, where a concentration camp was located during the war.
