Itinerary

  1. One of 100 location-based stories to explore: Welcome to Rynek Główny, a place that vibrates the heartbeats of the historic city of Krakow. Enshrined in the city's medieval core, this square has seen the ebb and flow of life over centuries.

    10 min

  2. One of 100 location-based stories to explore: Weave a path with me through an emerald ribbon of tranquility that embraces the historic heart of Krakow itself. This ring of serenity, some 21 hectares in size, circumvents the city's Old Town and spans an impressive 4 kilometers lengthwise. These are the renowned Planty Park, the urban lungs of Krakow, which was established between 1822 and 1830.

    20 min

  3. One of 100 location-based stories to explore: Enthralling tales of convergence capture our imaginations. Welcome, dear wanderers, to the beguiling streets of Kazimierz, Krakow's historical district. A hub where two precision-woven fabrics of distinctive cultures - Jewish and Christian - overlapped, enlivening a shared neighborhood with an enriched blend of tradition and belief. Kazimierz is not just a name; it's a chronicle that began in the fourteenth century, brimming with prolific events that marked the centuries that Gregorian calendars are unable to contain.

    20 min

  4. One of 100 location-based stories to explore: Hidden amidst the age-old tales of Krakow's Old Town, the Florian Gate, or Brama Floriańska, serves as a time-etched emblem of the city's medieval golden era. Rising up from the surrounding urban tapestry, the gate marks the ending point of Floriańska Street's northern vista and holds a treasure trove of stories that date back nearly a millennium. But this impressive structure is more than just brick and mortar. Its secrets, imbued within the countless bricks, whisper tales of former glory, protective duty, and an uneasy truce with modernity.

    10 min

  5. One of 100 location-based stories to explore: Tucked away in the corners of Kleparz, one of Krakow's oldest districts, the Church of St. Florian beckons with centuries-old whispers of faith and legend. Humbled by the passing of time, this magnificent Roman Catholic parish church and university collegiate stands spectacularly at the intersection of Warszawska Street and Matejko Square, paying homage to St.Florian, the Patron Saint of Poland and Upper Austria.

    10 min

  6. One of 100 location-based stories to explore: Imagine standing atop the tallest among five mounds gracing the city of Krakow, passionately called the Piłsudski Mound. Majestically ensconced at the summit of Sowińiec, the highest peak of the Sowińiec Range, within the lush Wolski Forest in the western part of Krakow. Standing at its peak, you'd be atop the highest mound in the whole of Poland.

    10 min

  7. One of 100 location-based stories to explore: Envision yourself standing in the heart of Krakow's Old Town, greeted by a magnificent structure with an intriguing past: The Cloth Hall, known in Polish as 'Sukiennice'.

About Krakow

Kraków, Poland's royal former capital, has a beautifully preserved medieval old town, crowned by Wawel Castle above the Vistula River.

The Main Market Square, one of the largest medieval squares in Europe, is lined with burghers' houses and centred on the arcaded Cloth Hall. St Mary's Basilica rises at one corner, its carved wooden altarpiece a Gothic masterpiece, and a trumpet call sounds from its tower through the day and night.

Top-ranked sights in Krakow: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, Rynek Glowny (Main Market Square), Wieliczka Salt Mine (Kopalnia Soli).
