Apartment with 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 4
Central yet quiet riverside location, a short walk from the heart of the Old Town, conveniently situated for the historic monuments, picturesque walks, for shops, restaurants and an open-air market. English satellite TV.
Krakow’s stunning architecture, vibrant nightlife, sophisticated culture and friendly people make it one of Europe’s top weekend city break destinations, and there are many cheap daily flights on offer.
In Krakow's famous Old Town, you will find abundant art galleries, museums, one - home to a Leonardo da Vinci; clubs, music venues to suit all tastes; over 300 restaurants with international cuisine; Viennese-style cafes, and the lively pubs and bars.
Salvator Penthouse boasts a 45 m square sun terrace with panoramic views of the famous Kosciuszko Mound - the man-made hill and well known tourist attraction; and of the Blonia Common, directly below - the large open space in the centre of Krakow, where John Paul II held his mass.

Salvator Penhouse has a luxury finish, with solid oak wooden floors and kitchen units and a red granite worktop in the kitchen.
In terms of size, layout, the number of people it sleeps, and the facilities provided, Salvator Penthouse is a twin of the Salvator Apartment, with a large double bed in the separate cosy bedroom and a sofa bed which sleeps 2 in the living room; with satellite TV and broadband, and both adjacent apartments can be rented out together.
From the prestigious Salvator, it is only a short walk along an avenue of ancient chestnuts to the famous man-made hill, Kopiec and its fortications, which can be seen from the bedroom's window.
Nearby, on the Vistula, you can hire rowing boats in the season, or take a river boat trip past the imposing Bielany Monastery to the Tyniec Abbey, on its rock overlooking the river Vistula. It is an hour's country walk to the Zoo, or, through the wooded hills, to the Bielany Monastery, where women are not allowed to enter, so as not to distract the monks.
A 15 min tram ride will take you to the Jewish quarter, Kazimierz. In 'Schindler's List' Spielberg showed the tragic fate of the Jews who once lived here. But now, Kazimierz is once more a thriving area, with authentic restaurants and live Klezmer music.
The spectacular Wieliczka Salt Mine and the Auschwitz Concentration Camp can be visited as day trips, and there are many sports on offer, including 18-hole golf, riding, and skiing.

Local activities in and around Krakow, Southern Poland
Within 1/2hr drive, there is the Krakow Valley 18-hole golf course, with riding stables (lessons for beginners), a shooting range, and ski lifts in the winter. It is also possible to hire horses for cross country riding.
In the winter, the Krakow Valley Club organises Russian-style outdoor picnics in the snow, with horse-driven open sleighs taking guests to roasting boar at a bonfire, or you can have a ride on a snow scooter or try your hand at driving a pack of huskies.
A perfect spring/summer day trip is the Dunajec Gorge rafting, through the breathtaking rocky scenery, gentle enough even for the grandmothers and babies (local highlanders do the rafting, you sit back and relax), and a day trip to the medieval Ojcow Castle perched high on a rock with its museum and restaurant, is also a must, as is the surrounding National Park full of weird lime rock formations.
Krakow is situated some 100km from the Tatra Mountains, and a day trip should not be missed during a week's stay. Zakopane, 2 hours away by coach, is a bustling ski resort of historic interest.
With the Wieliczka Salt Mine and Auschwitz unmissable by most visitors, and so much to choose from, it is hard to do Krakow justice in a short stay.
