Districts. Beside the info about internal administrative division, the article should also describe Kraków's place within the administrative division of the entire country, viz. that it is the seat of not only the Lesser Poland Voivodship, but also of two counties (powiat grodzki Kraków and powiat krakowski). The concept of powiat grodzki should be briefly explained. May be powiat grodzki should be explained somewhere, but the article about Krakow is not the right place. --Jotel (talk) 17:51, 21 November 2007 (UTC) Landmarks.

It also attracts many Jewish pilgrims as a formerly important site of Jewish scholarhip.
