Krakow - the oldest city in Poland.

I would like to introduce you one of the oldest cities in Poland which is Krakow. Krakow counts about 750 years if not more than that. It is also one of my favourite cities. I have visited Krakow in about five times so far. For centuries Krakow was a capital of Poland ,but not anymore. There are so many old and antics churches, castles , museums and many, many more objects to visit.Every year there are thousands and thousands of tourists from all over the world coming to visit that incredible and worthwhile place to see. Krakow also has a great and very old tradition. some of the traditions , like for example the tradition of the bell ringers are kept for 600 hundred years. That tradition is to swing one of the biggest bells which is called Zygmunts Bell , every hour for six hundred years for the entire world to hear. It is pretty amazing isn't it?The bell is hudge so the team of the bell ringers counts about 12 people. The legend also says that if you touch that bell and make the wish your wish will come true. If anybody ever will be in Poland and in the city Krakow I encourage you to visit the Zygmunts Tower and touch the Zygmunts Bell.
