Whether you’re into classical music, or whether electro-trance is more your thing, make sure that you tap into your sixth sense next time you’re in Krakow...
A unique new project in Krakow, 6 senses brings together elements of art, cinema, music, photography and theatre under one brand in an ongoing series of festivals and events. The object of the project is to give cultural events a “seal of approval”, making it easy for visitors to the city to identify the highlights. These feature internationally renowned artists and performers as well as home-grown Polish talent.
