Inhabited nowadays by seven hundred thousand citizens, Cracow is, after Warsaw, the second most frequently visited Polish city. The former capital - city. A place of historical, architectural and scientific monuments, of museums, unique in Poland. The city was fortunately saved from general damages during all historical war-clouds. With the renaissance Royal Castle and gothic cathedral, in whose crypts Polish kings are buried - on the Wawel Hill. In the historic centre of the city - with the Jagiellonian University being over six hundred years old; with the Main Market Square dating back to the Middle Ages; with St. Mary's Church, on the tower of which a bugle call player has been sounding the bugle for centuries, nowadays transmitted at midday by the radio across the country. In Kazimierz, a Jewish district for centuries - with reminiscences after the culture killed by Holocaust.

Near Cracow, the most frequent tourist place of destination in Little Poland are the Tatra Mountains. The only mountain of Alpine character in Poland. Beautiful in each season of the year. Famous for mountaineers' folklore. With the starting point in Zakopane, called the "winter capital-city of Poland". However, one should remember that apart from the Tatras National Park there are also another three mountain parks in the province: the Babiagóra, Gorce and the Pieniny ones - with an attraction unique in Europe, i.e. a trip in a tracker's raft down the Dunajec River gorge. Moreover, the Ojców National Park where the unusual landscape of Jurassic rocks couples with the trail of medieval fortified castles.

The Little Poland Province means also Wadowice - the native town of the Pope from Poland, John Paul II and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska situated among hills where the famous Mysteries of Christ Passion are staged around Easter. We can also visit Wieliczka in the neighbourhood of Cracow - a salt mine exploited since the 17th century, with an underground sanatorium and a tourist route. The region means also historic towns such as Tarnów and Stary Sącz, with medieval systems of old town complexes as well as piedmont spas: Krynica and Muszyna, Piwniczna and Rytro.
