There are places that remain in memory for a long time, and there are those that define the magic of traveling. We proudly and joyfully received the news that confirms our daily experiences for us and our Guests – the Kraków Old Town has been officially recognized as the most beautiful historic center in all of Europe!
Kraków on the throne of Europe
In a prestigious ranking prepared by experts from the "Tourlane" platform, 65 historic gems from around the world were analyzed. Not only the aged patina of walls or popularity in social media were considered. A key factor, which accounted for half of the score, was pedestrian-friendliness – the ease of discovering the city step by step, without haste, absorbing its unique atmosphere.
In this category, Kraków proved unbeatable. The judges emphasized that "few places combine so many attractions in such a small area." It is a city made for walking, where a new story awaits at every corner and echoes of centuries bounce off the Royal Route's cobblestones.
An experience that begins at the Senacki Hotel
What is this magic that captivated the experts? It is a morning coffee with a view of the awakening townhouses. It is the sound of bells and the bugle call from St. Mary's Tower, echoing through the area. It’s a walk through the Main Market Square, the largest medieval square in Europe, and a moment of reflection at the Cloth Hall.
And the best part – to experience it all, just step out the door of our Senacki Hotel. Located on Grodzka Street, the heart of the Royal Route, we offer our Guests not only luxurious relaxation but above all direct access to what is most precious in Kraków. The winning Old Town is not a distant attraction – it is our closest neighborhood.
Although places as wonderful as vibrant Naples or majestic Regensburg ranked just behind Kraków in the ranking, it is the city of Krakus that claimed the crown. Join the group of those who have felt firsthand why here beats the heart of Europe.
Welcome to the Senacki Hotel – live in the center of the most beautiful Old Town in Europe and create your own unforgettable story.
