    I have been to many a church, cathedral and basilica but this must be the most beautiful i have seen. It’s worth reading up about the history and the “artists”. The ceilings and some of the other areas look like they are made out of silk, rather than painted. It’s breathtaking really. The entrance price is a reasonable 15 zloty ( discount for kids and 60+) .

    Most impressive, memorable and very visual tour through the time of occupation of Krakow - and the Schindler story. We had a great tour guide (Magda) who also shared very personal family stories. Not to miss when in Krakow!

    I found Lost Souls Alley on trip advisor whilst planning my solo trip to Krakow and really wanted to visit. However, whilst reading the “rules” on their website I wasn’t sure whether to try it with being a woman on my own and I definitely didn’t want to go in alone! I called in at Lost Souls Alley (which is in the very centre of the old town) to see what was what. Despite putting the address in Google maps it’s hard to find. It’s not very well signposted and you have to go down an alleyway and up a flight of stairs to find the reception. The guy was very helpful and explained that 6 people are allowed per booking, so if I looked online for a time slot that had less than 6 spaces it would mean that someone else had already booked that slot. The booking system is my only complaint regarding LSA. I wanted to book the green version but it turns out you can only book pink/green and on arrival the whole group must decide which version they want to do. So if you turn up on the day and the other people outnumber you, you either have to cancel or do a version that you don’t want to! I booked a particular time slot for the following day but later received a phone call from LSA. They had noted that I was British but I’d booked on a time slot with Polish people. They offered me another time slot with English speaking people. I really appreciated the call and accepted the change of time slot but it makes me wonder why they don’t offer Polish/English/other language options on their booking system? The experience itself was amazing and very scary. Don’t expect too much in terms of “escape room” experiences. It’s very basic in so much as you’re usually looking for a key or way to escape the room. It’s more about the fear than challenging puzzles 🫣 It’s very dark and if you’re doing the green (hands on) experience the actors will touch you and try to separate you from the group but they won’t hurt you! I don’t want to give too much away, but the first room is probably the scariest because it’s pitch black and you don’t know what to expect. After that it becomes more scarily fun! The website warns that you might get injured. I scraped my arm and hand whilst running away from actors, but that was my own doing. I found it funny that the guy at reception had an antiseptic spray to hand so minor injuries are obviously common. You can pay a small amount to get photos of your experience shared on Flickr. You get a password and after 4 days you can access CCTV stills from your experience. It’s clear that no thought has gone into choosing these stills as they’re not the best images, but as you get over 100 images it’s reasonable value for money. The experience itself is 5 stars and I’d definitely do it again and recommend it to others. The booking system could do with some improvements and I don’t know why they don’t signpost themselves better from the street as they’d probably get more ad hoc bookings.

    What a beautiful castle! The tent exhibition is incredible and definitely worth going to, but beware of the hoards of tourists and don’t go on a Monday when I believe it is free in the morning. It’s only cheap to go in and worth paying to avoid the crowds.

    I stayed at the amber hotel 10 grabaska street krakow perfect location for the main or old town. I’ve stayed there 5 times always the perfect place staff are very friendly and helpful I would recommend this hotel to everyone. Plenty of restaurants in the main square shops everything you would want tours to salt mines a must Auschwitz concentration camp horse and carriage rides in the main square. I go there because it’s very relaxing so come on give it a try

    We bought tickets just for the cathedral rather than the castle. This filled a good few hours and was really interesting. It includes the museum as well as entry to the cathedral.

    We loved it here. They have a wide variety of pinball machines and even a few arcade games. It was great value for money and also a nice break from the heat as it was lovely and cool inside.

    After exploring the Old Town Square, we stumbled across Muzeum Krakowa (given that it’s based under the main building and ticket office on the other side of the building), we paid approx. £10 each for entry into the museum. In the ticket office, there is a coin souvenir machine for a small takeaway before entering the museum.

    Entering the museum is easy enough however keeping track of each exhibition is not so thus we had a good explore of the museum itself and each exhibition which includes relics of the past (combs, jewellery etc.), a floor map of medical trade routes, videos and interactive digital booklets which shed light on the history of the city.

    There are also mock graves, wells with skeletons and utensils, and 3D models of what the medieval city looked like, along with large sections of road which shows how each era built for carriages to travel.

    There was a tour guide which I stuck close to at points as they further expanding on the lore of the city in enthusiastic and engaging dialogue.

    The entire museum takes around 2+ hours to fully complete which ends with a series of mini-cinema rooms showing how the museum was built and constructed in the early 2000s, and finished with a small gift shop.

    Great lighthearted fun! Dante showed us around the museum and showed us a lot of hints and tips on how to get the most out of the interactive exhibitions, he also had lots of knowledge about the artwork that was inside the museum which was really interesting!

    We spent 3 hours here midweek and really enjoyed it. We got there for opening and the man who served us for wristbands was really nice.

    Great selection of games and machines.

    We were not really bothered by all the shops will their jewellery, galls ware and souvenirs. The interior was stunning. The place is large and has an incredible history. Well worth the time to walk through.

    Good and quite place to worship. Currently there are some renovation activities, so some places are hidden.

    Old mosaic is renovating also.

    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.

    Easter Saturday, a beautiful choir echoing in the street brought us to watch the procession enter a wonderfully lit church. The gold shone out and the incense made it more mesmerising. A big church with an amazing interior that would require sometime to stand and observe and absorb it all. Superb architecture.
