Top 6 Cemeteries in Krakow, Southern Poland

October 6, 2021 Joeann Galban

Krakow is one of the most culturally and politically significant cities in Poland. It was the central site of the Nazi General Government during WWII, and there’s still a residual feeling of solemnity here that’s especially apparent during visits to the Plaszow Concentration Camp and the Oskar Schindler Factory. Both the Historic City Centre and the Jewish District are brimming with cafés, shops, and pubs, and the 10-acre Main Market Square is a medieval feast for the senses.

The parents and older brother of Pope John Paul II rest in peace at this centuries-old cemetery.

I love walking around old cemeteries to view the amazing artwork on the tombs. These historic cemeteries also have many famous people buried in them so it's interesting to see the famous burial sites.
