A bit of love to Cracow

More history and a bit of love to Cracow.
No doubt, that in spite of her adventurous spirit Amelia often missed her hometown. A lot of memories from her childhood and adolescence came to her mind and she got nostalgic.
"I only I could return to Cracow for good and be a child once again...", she thought.
When she lived in Cracow, she was pretty sure as a kid, that it is the most beautiful city in the world, picturesque and full of life. Much later she visited Moscow, Tibilisi, Budapest, Paris, Luxemburg, Brussels and London. Then she understood that there are many wonderful, amazing places all over the world. But for her, Cracow was still an important city, full of attractions such as unique and historical monuments. Who hasn't heard about the Wawel Castle-where the Polish Kings and Queens lived? Many tourists from all over the world come to Poland to see the amazing churches being the pearls of medieval architecture, the Jagiellonian University, many museums and parks. Amelia wondered, how many people know that the city originated in the 9th century, so it's pretty old, isn't it?
Nowadays Cracow is one of the greatest and the largest cities in Poland (the population: about 800 thousand inhabitants) divided into 18 districts. It's the cultural capital of the state. No doubt, a very vital place in Europe...visited by thousands of tourists from other parts from Poland and from abroad. It's a unique city, arousing admiration among those, who can see it.
No wonder that Amelia has always loved Cracow very much and has regarded it as the most special in the whole world.
You're welcome to Cracow, dear bloggers. Amelia also recommends Wieliczka, a small town situated a few miles from the city, where you can visit a very old salt mine. If you wanted to see some photos of Cracow and Wieliczka, wait for the next post - some links will be included...
