Kraków was full of well-preserved history. We were also fascinated with Rome's ancient history during our Italian vacation, but Kraków surprised us with an incredible mix of older and newer sites. As Luc explained on the episode, the city is special because it remained relatively unscathed during World War II. It's one of the best-preserved cities in Europe, with a charming old town square and an enchanting Jewish quarter. Kraków was also an important place for us to learn more about modern history, including visiting Schindler's Factory and paying respects at nearby Auschwitz-Birkenau.
