Kraków is the second-largest city in Poland and the historic capital of the country, home to roughly 804,000 residents on the banks of the Vistula River in the southern Lesser Poland region. It observes Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) and switches to Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) for daylight saving from late March to late October. Served as Poland's royal capital from the 11th century until 1596, when King Sigismund III moved the court to Warsaw, Kraków retains Wawel Castle and Cathedral, the traditional coronation and burial site of Polish monarchs. Its medieval Old Town, anchored by the Rynek Główny — one of Europe's largest medieval market squares — was among the first sites inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1978. The former Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp lies roughly 65 km west of the city.
