About Kraków
Kraków is one of Poland's oldest and most visited cities, the former royal capital, with Wawel Castle and a vast medieval Main Market Square at its heart. It is a centre of education and has a fast-growing business services sector, and many visitors travel from here to the Wieliczka Salt Mine and the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial.
Poland uses Central European Time, UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer when clocks go forward. Kraków keeps the same time as Warsaw, Berlin and Prague, and is one hour ahead of London. Many of the international companies in the city run shared-service centres that cover multiple European time zones.
