Nestled in two beautifully restored buildings in one of Kraków’s most picturesque and atmospheric streets, the Copernicus is one of the city’s finest and most luxurious hotels. The rooftop terrace with spectacular views over Wawel and the swimming pool in a medieval vaulted brick cellar add to the hotel’s allure.
