    The old town square not just the size of it it's the Polish Architecture of the building dating back generations is stunning. What makes me proud to watch is all primary school and Secondary school classes get taken to krakow square to educate them on there polish history and culture in the square every single day it's fantastic values . I'm from Scotland uk and sorry to say the UK values and cultures are long gone now. We could learn a lot from Polish values and customs

    This is a must-do activity when you visit Krakow. The Castle dominates the city and is a beautiful experience walking through the grounds. Everyone who goes to Krakow visits the Castle. The problem is that the city knows this and there are monetary micro-transactions everywhere to see different elements of the castle itself (e.g., royal garden, dragon den). Moreover, there are tonnes of tourists and huge queues to get a guided tour at the ticket office.

    My advice ... don't get a guided tour. Just walk around the grounds. Some people think they need to go to the ticket office to pay for admission, but admission to the grounds is actually free. The office is only for guided tours. So, you often see people queuing for ages for no reason thinking that is the only way to see the Castle.

    The grounds are lovely, free, and enough of an experience to get a sense of Wawel.

    The Old Town of Krakow is sensational.

    Start at the northern point with the Barbican and St Florian's Gate, wander down Ulica Florianska, arrive at the Old Market Square (with incredible buildings such as the Cloth Hall, St. Mary's Basilica and the Town Hall Tower), then continue south along Ulica Grodzka (with the Church of St Peter and St Paul, the Church of St Martin, the Church of St Andrew and the Church of St Giles and much much more) and finish off at Wawel Castle & Cathedral.

    Kazmierz is the historic Jewish quarter of Krakow. I purchased a guidebook to Jewish Krakow from the tourist information office and visited many of the sights in this neighborhood. See the synagogues, monuments, shops, and restaurants. The Old Synagogue is now a museum of Jewish history and culture. The Remuh Synagogue is still in use today. The Galicia Jewish Museum has some interesting photos. There is much evidence of the former Jewish culture here. Be sure to enjoy a meal at one of the many Jewish restaurants. (I ate at Ariel and Klezmer Hois and wrote separate reviews for them.)

    We did both Into the Darkness and Into the Light. Simon and our female guide, whose name I've forgotten, were both fantastic. They both answered lots of extra questions and clearly enjoy their jobs. The exhibits were very interesting and interactive. I think this would be interesting for well-behaved elementary age kids, teens, and adults.

    What a cracking museum for airplane enthusiasts, history buffs and those with no particular interest in aviation. At the equivalent of just £6 for a regular ticket, it’s worth every penny. There’s lots to see and the exhibitions are really interesting and well done. It’s very easy to get to via a tram from the old town. Would highly recommend spending a morning or afternoon here.

    I recently visited the Lego museum, and it was an incredible experience! The sheer number of Lego sets on display is impressive. From classic collections to the latest releases, the museum is a treasure trove for any Lego enthusiast. What stood out the most were the unique figures and rare sets that you don’t often see elsewhere. It’s like stepping into a world of creativity and nostalgia.

    Another fantastic feature is the option to purchase individual Lego bricks. Whether you're missing a piece for your set or looking to create something new, this is a great perk. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole atmosphere is welcoming. Highly recommend for families, collectors, or anyone who loves Lego!

    If you love pinball and vintage gaming in general you will love this place!! Would recommend getting the day pass as time really does fly by. Such a great array of games and a super chilled atmosphere. Small cafe at the top of the stairs too (not by the same place) which was useful for a break. I would definitely come here again next time I'm in Krakow.

    After a week in Krakow, we had completely missed this museum until a local told us about it so we checked it out the next day and it was worth it.

    The underground museum gives you a close up into the oldest parts of Krakow, well laid out and feels very immersive as you descend into the historic foundations.

    Very friendly staff and great value. Lots to see such as the foundation walls, relics, coins, keys and other personal items from centuries ago.

    All information boards have an English translation, but even without any reading this museum is worth a visit. It also has a lift, making it very accessible.

    The main ticket office is on the opposite side of the cloth hall than the museum entry itself.

    It is a super@relaxing park in the heart of Krakow. Especially on sunny days you can take this path to the old town. You@can even sit and enjoy the atmosphere for a while.
