What travelers are saying
- melodysundbergOrebro, Sweden104 contributionsThe most visually interesting museum I've ever visited, in terms of how the exhibition is exhibited; there are gravel or stone floors in many rooms which make you feel like you're standing on the streets of 1940s Krakow.
We went there on a monday morning when entrance is free and stood in line for about 1 hour. Then realized that if we would have come there by noon, there would not have been a line at all.Written October 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Tou have to pay to get inside, with costs broken down for all the various places. If you want to see it all it was around £50 each (with exch rate at the tim), which I found a bit pricey.
We paid to go into Castle I and to be honest it was OK, not sure it was worth the money (personally), although if you like religious art then it will appeal as there are many portraits of Mary and Child.
The views over the river are great and even just walking round the grounds is well worth the visit.
Can't go to Krkow and not visit this.Written October 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There may be restrictions due to the square being surrounded by bars and restaurants, but some genuine local fast food stalls might be a beneficial additionWritten September 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tammyjewel628Houston, TX344 contributionsWawel Cathedral is iconic to Krakow. It's a hike up there, but if I can do it, you can too. We didn't tour the Castle, just the Cathedral. The view is great. There is a Commemorative Coin as with most European Cathedrals.Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LeonhknyHong Kong, China21,589 contributionsThis is a historic church in downtown Krakow. Church of SS Peter & Paul is a Jesuits institution with distinct facade and elegant interior. It is quite a gem in the Polish city.Written August 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LeonhknyHong Kong, China21,589 contributionsThis short street connects the Florian Gate, Krakow's former northern entrance with its renowned main square. The thoroughfare is now a lively place with lots of tourists exploring the Polish city. And of course, the shops mainly cater to foreigners.Written August 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FTMDaveAdria, Italy7,677 contributionsThe "Barbican" dates back to the 1400s and was once part of the medieval walls and fortifications of the city.
Today it is still an impressive building.
There is a small museum inside.Written August 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Very large area takes more than an hour, gravel walking paths only, quite exposed with no shelter or facilities... avoid on hot summer or rainy day. 20mts walk along cliffs to ancient Krakus burial mound with vistas of Krakow.
Nazi concentration camp where everything is left in nature and to your imagination with limited information boards than Auschwitz which is explicitly visual with lots of detail. They may seem very different experiences for visitors but in the end create same shocking emotions. Here outwardly peaceful fields woods apple groves in reality tell a chilling history of human cruelty and profound sorrow in the air and under your feet.Written July 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our guide Patrycja did an excellent job bringing us there, and sharing the history of the camp with its many atrocities in a very informative but also humane and respectful way, leaving none of us unaffected. Extra plus was that we had a chance to visit one of the newly “preserved” blocks in Birkenau, which we understand not all groups had the chance to do. Thank you Patrycja for your patience and knowledge, and to KrakowResor for offering an easy and quick way of booking and paying on short notice!Written August 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LeonhknyHong Kong, China21,589 contributionsBeneath the crowded Wawel Castle comes this serene riverside monastery. It is a vast compound of church and monastery with elaborate decorations.

- Pub Monster NeilLiverpool, UK59,933 contributionsThe Jagiellonian University is one of the oldest and most respected universities in the world, its a series of faculty buildings spread throughout the city ,walking down Ulica Grodzka you pass Collegium Luridicum ,this is a complex of 15th century buildings that form the Faculty Of Law ,these Gothic buildings look superb ,this one along Ulica Grodzka is more sedate in look but still beautiful to view,most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the Old Town of Krakow and easy to locate along Ulica Grodzka.Written February 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Donna SFlorence, WI1,600 contributionsI discovered this little museum when tickets for the Rynek Underground were sold out, but am glad I did. It proved to be interesting in its own right, and basically featured the development of Krakow as an urban center from 1257 to the early 20th c. There are a number of interesting scale models of the city over time, a weapons and shield collection, lots of historic photographs, medals, coins, portraits of local intelligentsia, some tools, and scientific stuff - even a hot air balloon! The building itself is interesting, dating from the 1600's, and featuring many architectural and ornamental details, and a courtyard with a collonaded loggia. It has served many purposes, including a private residential palace, a bishop's residence, revolutionary committee headquarters in 1848, and the recruitment office for the Polish Legion in 1914. Admission was free the day I visited.Written February 18, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Таня СKyiv, Ukraine148 contributionsI hoped to see a museum about the life of Oscar and his Jews, but they were mentioned very little, and it is very sad, because he is a historical figure. Instead, I saw the Krakow Ghetto Museum, which is definitely interesting, but I was expecting something different.Written October 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pub Monster NeilLiverpool, UK59,933 contributionsLocated on the beautiful Ulica Szeroka, the most beautiful street in the Jewish Quarter ( Kazimierz ) is House Of Landau,one of the most historic buildings along this street.
A fantastic looking former town house constructed in the 19th century, the facade is superb, now home to a great Isreali restaurant, its a building that adds to the joy of walking along Ulica Szeroka.Written February 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
