The History and Sights of KRAKOW | From Ancient Times To Today

Krakow is Poland's second biggest city and is famous for its ancient origins, for its beautiful Old Town...and for being completely overrun by drunken tourists. In this video I show you the best of Krakow, and tell you of the history behind this fascinating city.
In this video I tell you of the mythical King Krak, or King Krakus, who supposedly founded the city. I also tell you the story of how he slew Smok, the dragon, and how people raised a gigantic monument in his honour.
I also show you the Rynek Underground museum, Wawel Castle, Henryk Jordan Park with the statue of Wojtek the Soldier Bear, and a lot more. Since Sweden share history with Poland, especially when it comes to King Sigismund III Vasa who wanted to make a unified kingdom of Sweden and Poland, I also tell you more about the history from the 1500s.
But there's more. The St Mary's Bugle Call has a story that goes back to Mongolian invasions, and you can still hear those haunting trumpet calls at every hour in the city.
All in all, Krakow is a beautiful city filled with a fascinating history!

As an American, I'm happy to know we're not the worst tourists. "A drunken Brit around every corner" 🤣 Enjoying the city!
