Krakow, is one of the Most Beautiful City worldwide. Althought most European cities have a beautiful central square, Krakow's Rynek Glówny ranks among the best. The square is defined by its 15th-century town hall tower and the UNESCO-listed Wawel Castle is just a short walk away. The city's 40-plus parks also add to the attractiveness of Krakow. 

Poland is the 9th safest country in the world. 

Poland has become the first country of Central Europe to be ranked as a fast developing market on the FTSE RUSSELL Index. Poland has the 25th most advanced global economies.

A Special Place 

The recently opened Metropolo is a new 4-star hotel in Krakow, designed in the Chinese Art Deco style. Metropolo is a true manifestation of combining the very best of the Chinese and European cultures. Metropolo offers traditional Chinese cuisine, an area of 2,500 square meter conference center, SPA, and all the facilities to make guests' stay special.   

Metropolo is recognized as a famous venue for corporate events, meetings, and incentives. 

A perfect venue, rich culture, and  extraordinary hospitality is waiting for you in Krakow, Poland.  

It is perhaps the low season in Poland for the tourism industry. It is however, a great time for planning brief meetings and incentives in the country. Poland's 'POLSKA SEE MORE – WEEKEND FOR HALF PRICES' campaign is organized twice a year: in the autumn and in the spring. This country-wide initiative entails more than 750 partners and travel providers offering their services at reduced prices. It is not only a good idea that helps thousands of tourists but it also provides corporations with the chance to optimize their precious event budgets and experience the many wonders of Poland.

The Polish Tourist Organization has started a major campaign through social media networks to promote Poland to countries of the EU and Asia Pacific, as well Israel and the United States.

The Polish Tourist Organization will also actively participate in tourist fairs around the world, officially starting in March during a Tourist Fair in Berlin. In addition, The Polish Tourist Organization will invite filmmakers from around the world to Poland and encourage them to make large productions of the country's beautiful and diverse landscapes.  

According to estimates by the Ministry of Sport and Tourism and The Polish Tourist Organization, the vistitors' numbers will exceed 20 million a year. 

“One of our multinational customers approached us to organise an event for 150 of their staff members. The budget was tight and the key requirement was to come up with something very original and inspirational. We prepared a program that entailed two distinctive components. The first part involved a city game that allowed participants to discover Krakow’s history through solving puzzles. This activity resulted in bonding, competition, and teamwork, and also gave employees a chance of spending more time together while exploring Kraków in an unusual and innovative way. The second part of the program took place at the event site, in the form of a team building exercise, that created an opportunity for all participants to recognise how much they individually contributed to the success of their company. Our program design was well-received and a true testimony what success really is.”

According to ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association) and UIA (Union of International Associations) Poland is among the most favoured countries in the world for arranged and planned meetings. 

"In Poland the organisation of professional business meetings, conferences, congresses, trade fairs and exhibitions is estimated to generate more than 1% of the GDP while it also  provides a strong and positive impetus for other related branches. 

Today Poland has at its disposal all the fundamental assets needed for the meetings sector’s intensive development and for drawing more and more international events of all scope, due to state-of-the-art hotels, numerous conference and exhibition venues, the recently expanded transportation infrastructure, as well as professional organisations and companies who are ready to handle a larger than ever number of business meetings in all size groups.”

(Robert Andrzejczyk President of the Polish Tourism Organisation)  

Hotel Copernicus with its expansive Gothic façade is situated on Krakow’s oldest street that winds its way toward the Wawel Royal Castle (the historical place of Polish Kings). Hotel Copernicus is in the heart of Krakow, alongside with the famous Wawel Royal Castle, the Romanesque Church of Saint Andrew and the Saint Peter and Paul’s Church. 

Hotel Copernicus has a rich authentic feel to it. The building itself has historical significance and with the works of art preserved within its walls, today offers the ultimate experience in hotel accommodation. There are astonishing medieval wooden beam ceilings, a meticulously restored fresco, that dates back to the 16th Century, and medieval cellars that accommodate the swimming pool and sauna areas.  

Several centuries ago Hotel Copernicus was the residence of cathedral canons. Nicolaus Copernicus, famous astronomer and “father” of the heliocentric theory, lodged at the hotel when visiting Krakow. Hotel Copernicus is part of Krakow's peaceful character and the place where many prominent guests and royalties stayed at. 

Hotel Copernicus represents the idea of the coexistence of a stunning ancient building and a luxurious contemporary-style hotel.

The Mine of the Past and of Today:

• 13.6 Million years ago (Middle Miocene) is when the Wieliczka salt deposits form.

• The end of the Paleolithic era marks the oldest traces of mankind found in this area, dating back 500,000 years (Lower Palaeolithic). It is also believed that the site was the home of reindeer hunters. 

• A 12th Century document confirms that a privilege was granted to the Benedictine monastery in Tyniec/Krakow to receive evaporated salt without payment from Magnum Sal (i.e. Wieliczka).

• Jan Gottfryd Borlach, draws the plans of three mine levels and its conceptual intersections. A set of drawings is printed in 1766 by J. E. Nilson.

• In the late 20th Century, the mine gets listed, as one of the top UNESCO’s Natural and Cultural Heritage. It is one of the first of 12 sites worldwide that receives such distinction.
