Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to describe selected aspects of rurality in the contemporary cultural landscape of Kraków. Four aspects traditionally associated with the rural landscape were analyzed: rural settlement systems, toponymy, land use and agriculture, and selected elements of folk culture. Attention was given both to manifestations of rurality visible in material forms and elements constituting intangible heritage. The article raises the issue of the multidimensional character of this phenomenon and the need for interdisciplinary research in this field.
