A charming historic village, Lanckorona makes for a romantic day trip from Kraków. The town’s picturesque setting endeared it to lovers and artists alike; some settled here, while others visited regularly for plein-air painting sessions. Today, you can stroll past old wooden houses, stop for coffee in a cozy café, and walk up to the castle ruins in the woods—remnants from one of the main battles of the Bar Confederation against Russian encroachment in Poland.
