Rick Steves' Europe (2000)
S13E03 Kraków: Poland's Historic Capital
Episode Overview
In Kraków, we immerse ourselves in one of Europe’s most popular squares, admiring the rich history in art galleries and at Wawel Castle. We also indulge in traditional Polish dishes, learning to craft pierogi from scratch. Just a short distance away, the communist-era town of Nowa Huta provides a reflective look back at the Cold War period. Meanwhile, the poignant memorial at Auschwitz-Birkenau serves as a solemn reminder of the victims of the Nazi regime.
