One of the oldest universities in the world is the Jagiellonian University aka as the University Of Krakow. The university is located in the centre of the city and comprises 15 faculties with over 4.000 academics teaching upto 40.000 students ,noted illumni include Nicolaus Copernicus,Jan Kochanoski,King John III,Sobieski,Stanislaw Len and many other well known former students . The grounds the faculties are set in are wonderful and the buildings are amazing ,it's most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area,a good starting point is Ulica Jagiellonska.

The courtyard can be entered free of charge. At 9am, 11am, 1pm or 3pm, a 14th-century replica clock chimes with medieval characters marching through. The museum itself is missed by many. The entrance is above the courtyard and it does have a fee. You can do it as a self-guided tour if you have less than 5 people or a daily tour can be booked in advance. Definitely worth seeing.

This is a fabulous museum. It's a timed entry, and then you can go through at your own pace. It's not huge, but it's fascinating. Don't miss the tiny globe from 1510 with the first representation of the Americas. The actual globe is in the Copernicus room, in the glass cabinet, and there is also a model that is much bigger and easier to see.
