Fun Krakow!
There are lots of fun and amusing activities people can do in Krakow.
Krakow like Warsaw, has artistic and adventurous side for young, couples, children & elderly tourists as well.
Theaters:
Stary Theater
Remodeled many times over the ages, the Stary Teatr (Old Theatre) is indeed the oldest theatre in Poland, the fourth after Warsaw, Lublin and Lviv. During historical turmoil the Stary remained a hub for Polish culture, staging not only the best of Polish literature adaptations, but European as well. Today, two trends determine the repertory of the Stary Theatre: the reflection on the contemporary drama and theatre (as part of the [email protected] festival), and reinterpretations of classics (under the umbrella of the re_wizje festival).
Royal Chamber Orchestra
Concerts performed seven days a week at St. Adalbert’s church, the oldest church in on Krakow, by four graduates of the Krakow Academy of Music.
