The City
The heart of the city centre is the Stare Miasto , the Old Town, bordered by the lush, tree-shaded city park known as the Planty . The Rynek Glowny is the focal point, with almost everything within half an hour's walk of it. A broad network of streets stretches south from here to the edge of Wawel Hill , with its royal residence, and beyond to the Jewish quarter of Kazimierz . Across the river, on the edge of the Podgorze suburb, is the old wartime ghetto. And finally, a little further out to the west, Kopiec Kosciuszki (Kosciuszko's Mound) offers an attractive stretch of woods and countryside, just a ten-minute bus ride from the centre.
