Wedding traditions of Krakow

Krakow weddings may feature highlander music and folk costume in the Tatra foothills.

Krakow is a favoured city for weddings, with churches of great age and a lively old town. In the nearby highlands, weddings include the Goral music of the violin and the bass.

A wedding here

A white wedding in a Catholic church is followed by a reception at a restaurant or manor house. Some couples hire a horse-drawn carriage.

Gorale in Zakopane celebrate weddings with a procession, folk music and the ciupaga, a decorated walking axe. The groom's family leads the way to the bride's house.
