- George BAberdeen, UK1,548 contributionsWe found this in Maly Rynek which is located between St Mary’s Basilica and the Church of St Barbara and is a 16th century fountain.
Good photo op with the Cathedral or the church in the background.Written 17 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mikael FHelsinki, Finland30,625 contributionsThis fountain unveiled in 1958 is located in Mariacki Square next to St. Mary's Church.
It was designed by Jan Budzillo, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. The figure of Zak is a copy of one of the figures found inside St. Mary's Church.
According to the legend, throwing a coin into the fountain guarantees a return to Krakow in the future. However, on our visit, the fountain was dry.Written 26 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This fountain is really lovely ,big jets of water ,illuminated at night and very popular ,we visited the square on a roasting hot Thursday afternoon ,fountain was in working order ,around the fountain were young families sat on benches with their kids playing in the fountain ,it looked so cooling and it was great seeing the fountain being enjoyed,if you're in the area it's a fountain well worth checking out and easy to locate on Sczcepanski Square .Written 4 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's a pretty little water feature ,illuminated at night ,when we were in Krakow for five night we passed this fountain several times ,it's cool and very cooling ,as temperatures hit the 90's couldn't resist soaking my cap in here to cool down a bit ,it's located in front of the magnificent Cloth Hall and is well worth checking out if you're on Main Market Square.Written 14 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is not your conventional fountain ,it's small ,the water rises over a polished stone which creates a swirling water feature ,it's cool ,it's photogenic and if you're near Plac Swietej Marii Magdaleny is well worth checking out.Written 21 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is a cute looking fountain ,it's a modern water feature ,not a conventional fountain,it's a long stretch of marble topped by a perspex section ,it looks cool ,it's certainly eye catching and when we viewed it there were flocks of pidgeon splashing around the fountain ,can't blame them as it was a roasting hot afternoon,well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate on Maly Rynek.Written 18 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not much information available about the monument ,what made it stand out though was the fact it's an obelisk ,it's set in pretty and well kept grounds and is most photogenic ,it's easy to locate along Basztowa and is well worth checking out if you're in the area.Written 2 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
