Kraków County, Administrative district in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

The county encompasses 17 municipalities covering 1,229 square kilometers of land surrounding the independent city of Kraków in southern Poland.

The territorial reorganization of Poland in 1999 established Kraków County as part of the broader administrative reforms implemented across the country.

The region maintains numerous medieval buildings, churches, and monasteries within its municipalities, reflecting centuries of architectural development in Lesser Poland.

Transportation networks connect the district through railways and roads, with John Paul II International Airport serving both local residents and international travelers.

While the city of Kraków functions as the administrative center of the county, it remains a separate administrative entity with independent governing authority.
