In 1997, Stanisław Lem became an honorary citizen of Kraków, the city where he settled after the postwar resettlement from Lviv. The city council recognized his contribution to Polish and world culture. Lem wrote that he accepted the title with emotion because Kraków had become a substitute for his native Lviv.
