Krakow, is the only city in Poland, which within its borders has a spa resort – Swoszowice.

This picturesque oasis of greenery is famous for its sulphuric water, which has a unique chemical composition and a high amount of gaseous hydrogen sulphide. The spa offers sulphuric baths and mud packs, which are beneficial for patients with rheumatic, orthopedic or neurological conditions. Sulphuric baths also help to lower the level of cholesterol and uric acid. Other treatments at the spa include hydrotherapy, physiotherapy and massages.
