Car hire - Krakow

Standing on the banks of the Vistula River, Krakow is one of the largest cities in Poland and a leading centre of art and culture.

The city boasts a fascinating history, as it became the capital of Germany's General Government during World War II. But it has more than overcome this terrible period and established itself as one of the most beautiful and lively cities in Europe.

No trip to Krakow is complete without exploring the medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that boasts stunning architecture and landmarks such as St Mary's Basilica and the National Gallery of Art. It is also home to Rynek Główny, the largest market square in Europe.

Additionally, visitors to Krakow should explore the Wawel Castle. This has long been regarded as one of the most significant historic and cultural sites in Poland, as it was the residence of the country's kings for many centuries and today holds an impressive collection of notable artworks.

Car hire customers can reach Ojcow National Park in just 15 minutes from Krakow. This charming location is the smallest of the country's national parks, but what it lacks in scale it makes up for with its sheer beauty. It's probably one of the most attractive locations of its kind to be found in Europe.

Krakow was occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II and the invading force set up the notorious Auschwitz death camp not far away.

Today, the site is another UNESCO World Heritage Site and a powerful reminder of one of the darkest chapters in human history. It's an emotional experience, so think carefully if you are planning on bringing children with you.
