Accompanying letter
from Mayor of Kraków
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen
Kraków is among few historical towns in Europe which, even if visited only briefly,
leave unforgettable impressions. The town constitutes a permanent part of all Poles
as a symbol of Polish national identity. Over the centuries, Kraków’s Main Market
Square, the Cloth Hall, St. Mary’s Basilica and the Wawel Castle, as well the local
squares, interiors and gardens surrounding palaces, cloisters and houses have
witnessed many exceptional events in the nation’s history.
In Kraków, past and present blend harmoniously and the rich artistic, cultural and
business scenes complement innovation and continuous
development. Multiple conferences organized locally become platforms for the
exchange of information and ideas, a source of inspiration,
spaces where one opens up to others.
With this offer, we wish to showcase local venues which are uniquely suited to
hosting meetings and business events. The selected venues boast distinctive
atmosphere and offer gourmet experiences, as well
as state of the art multimedia infrastructure and professional services.

Introducing Kraków
In recent years, Kraków has become a city of ever increasing innovative and creative initiatives
in various fields. Until recently, it attracted visitors with its legend: a treasure trove of Polish
heritage, European Capital of Culture, a city full of events and unique collections, a city
organizing excellent festivals. These advantages were complemented with purely economic or
even business arguments: Today, Kraków is a place where it is not only worth hoxqlding a
business meeting or a congress, but now, according to current trends, a business meeting in
Kraków is a must.
New congress centers and original interiors of historic buildings can provide services and add
the appropriate prestige to each event. Kraków also owes this ability to its friendly and the
professional hotel, catering, entertainment and cultural infrastructure which is clustered near
the centre and the proximity of Małopolska attractions, offering numerous opportunities for
active recreation and unforgettable scenery.
Currently, Kraków is the artistic and intellectual centre of southern Poland, and one of the
most popular tourist spot in Europe. 14 million guests visited Kraków in 2019. Kraków’s main
Market Square – the largest mediaeval square in Europe – has always been the heart of the
city, vibrant with life throughout the year. It is a favorite meeting place for locals, students,
tourists, and businesspeople. The 47 tenement buildings surrounding the square house
numerous cafés, restaurants, pubs, galleries, shops, bookstores, and museums. The passage of
time is marked by the bugle call played every hour on the hour from the top of the taller tower
of St. Mary’s Basilica – the only musical signal in the world sounded regularly for six centuries.
The most distinctive buildings in the Rynek Główny are St. Mary’s Basilica, with its imposing
Gothic altar, and Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) – the best preserved cloth market in Europe.
Kraków is one of the best
recognizable cities in this
part of Europe, a favourite
destination of individual
and group trips.

40. Gastronomic heritage
Krakow plays a crucial role on the culinary stage of Poland, where
traditional Polish cuisine meets global influences. In 2020 Michelin
Guide recommends 19 restaurants in the city. As we all know, the
way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, and Krakow’s
culinary fandom keeps growing. If this is not enough, Krakow was
selected first European Capital of Gastronomic Culture in 2019 and
among polish gourmets that are protected by European Union 13 are
from Malopolska Region.
We definitely returning to our roots, and the sense of regional
identity is increasingly being strengthened.
What elements build the culinary brand of Krakow? First of all, good
quality wine, meat and offal, delicious bread, the influence of Jewish
and Austrian or Hungarian cuisine, as well as an increasing number of
producers of healthy and ecological food.
Regional products such as: obwarzanek our local bagel, Sechlonska
suska (dried and smoked prunes from Sechna), lisiecka sausage,
Oscypek smoked cheese, Zator trout or charsznicka cabbage must be
included in the menu for our guests and delegates to show our
gastronomic heritage. Behind these products are hundreds of years of
tradition, a unique recipe and attention to quality which we want to
share!
