    This was an awesome experience. It’s basically a scare fest/escape room all rolled into one. It was great fun and the actors play their parts so well!!

    If you enjoy dungeons or scare feats then this is the one for you!!!

    Lucy has been a spectacular tour guide. The tour was so interesting and her English was outstanding! I am so happy that I had an opportunity to learn about the history of Stained glass in Poland

    We came here to shelter from the rain and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. You have the option of paying for all day or for 1 hour. We payed for 1 hour which was just the right amount of time. The pinball machines were all well kept and were of different ages so there was a good variety. My teenagers actually came out smiling! Good family fun!

    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.

    I did not expect to enjoy this place as much as I did. Beautiful view of the whole of Krakow. The sad part is that you are in the middle of horrors that took place during Ww2 (Plasnow concentration camp, querry, Jewish ghetto...). You should visit this place at the end of the day to enjoy nice lighting. The climb is not too difficult.

    My husband and I visited the museum on snowy morning.
    We were delighted to find that the museum was free on a Tuesday! The exhibits were informative and very interesting.
    We really enjoyed the different rooms that had been made for different historical periods.
    I'm not usually one for art exhibits but I enjoyed the art section at the top of the museum.
    The staff were friendly and we would definitely go back if visiting again!

    We bought a tram pass in Krakow and desperate to get away from the crowds, visited the botanical gardens. The first time we went it was really hot and sunny. What a beautiful place to visit on a sunny day, fabulous planting and the greenhouses were also lovely. The second time we went was during a thunderstorm, so we sat under cover at the cafe and had tea and cake in the rain. Great experience and certainly worth a visit.

    Must visit in summer! It’s free but you have to cue to get to the “beach” but well worth it for a swim and sunbathe. The walk around the quarry is also really nice and lovely views, takes about 1hr.

    This is a monument to Dżok, pronounced ‘jock’, one of the most loyal dogs to have ever lived.

    When Dżok’s owner died of a cardiac arrest at a nearby roundabout, Dżok waited there in vain for an entire year to be fetched and taken home.

    The sculpture symbolises the boundless bond between person and pet that is rarely demonstrated more so than in Dżok’s hopeful and mournful wait.

    In a sense, the sculpture is a testament to the power of selfless love and it made me smile to see such an affecting example memorialised in this way, standing as a poignant reminder of how precious four-legged friends are.

    Evidently, Dżok’s heart-wrenching faith had a touching impact on the community; the locals continue to pay their respects to him and the sense of agape imbued in a pet by its guardian that his likeness represents, as there was an elegant candle burning beneath him at the time I visited.

    The monument is a substantial size but not overbearing and is located in the strip of parkland between the Vistula and Wawel hill, just beyond the fire-breathing dragon sculpture, therefore simple to include before or after a visit to the castle and cathedral.

    A nice little place to spend half an hour and get up close and personal to some butterflies (which the staff will let you hold), along with lots of colourful little birds, rabbits, and snails. The animals are clearly well catered for and safe. It would be great activity for small children

    A very small museum consisting of just one room plus the cells, but extremely interesting.

    The lady working there was very welcoming and directed us as to where to go. It’s a shame that it is not advertised more, maybe because it is out of the way from the more popular tourist attractions of Krakow.

    I was very pleased I visited and that the poor victims will never be forgotten.

    Not easy to find, so we used our mobile phone to take us there. Has to be done as is a big part of the history of the ghettos
