The aim of the article is to outline the economic situation of Cracow on the background of the three other major Polish cities. The main question is whether and to what extent Cracow stands out among them in economic terms. For many, Cracow has undeniable sentimental value and is attractive for tourist. What is often forgotten, is that it is also the second biggest city of Poland and the second biggest economy between Polish cities. The text is based on a brief comparative analysis of four major Polish cities, including Cracow. The article uses public data, starting with the commonly used indicators of economic development, such as GDP, GDP per capita and labor market or entrepreneurship data. It takes into account the municipal finance, which made this comparison more complete. What is more, it includes data on the academic community, which seems to be important from the perspective of modern economic. In the final part it examines touristic and cultural events, what is very helpful in showing the specifics of Cracow.
