Krakow
for the disabled
The
bulk of Krakow attractions is situated within walking
distance in the Stare
Miasto (Old Town) historic district.
The area has been largely turned into a pedestrian
precinct. Its streets and squares are rather level
except the Wawel hill with the royal castle and the
cathedral. The Old Town also remains at the heart of
today’s city life as Krakow’s administrative,
business, shopping and entertainment center. It
abounds in hotels,
various
eateries,
and nightspots
as well.
