Create your Krakow map poster

Krakow had 804,237 residents in 2023 and more than 1.4 million people in its metropolitan area. It was Poland's official capital until 1596 and remains a major academic, cultural, and artistic center.

The compact Old Town has a street pattern distinct from the broader neighborhoods around it. South of the center, the Vistula's bends set the direction for roads and later development along both banks.

Within 2.5 kilometres, the Old Town, nearby districts, and a substantial curve of the Vistula fit together. The historic center reads as a tight unit inside the looser surrounding network.

Give the Old Town a fine sepia line and the later streets a cooler charcoal tone. The Vistula should remain open, separating those layers without another border.
