A Place Shaped by History, Culture and Landscape
THE PLANTY GARDEN
Encircling the Old Town, the Planty Park forms a continuous green promenade of exceptional distinction. Established in the 19th century on the foundations of former city fortifications, it offers a rare sense of openness, privacy, and tranquility at the very center of the city. Mature trees, historic monuments, and shaded pathways create a refined landscape that gently separates the residence from the surrounding urban fabric, allowing history and nature to coexist in quiet harmony.
THE HISTORIC OLD TOWN
Located within a UNESCO World Heritage historic district, the apartment is surrounded by landmarks that have shaped Kraków’s architectural and cultural identity for centuries. In close proximity lie the Royal Wawel Hill with its castle and cathedral, the Main Market Square — one of Europe’s great medieval civic spaces — and the Gothic towers of St. Mary’s Basilica.
THE TATRA MOUNTAINS
Beyond the city, the nearby Tatra Mountains and the historic mountain resort of Zakopane provide access to established ski resorts and year-round outdoor pursuits, creating a distinctive duality between historic urban living and a celebrated mountain landscape.
Uncompromising Elegance
