    We were lucky enough to of been staying right on the square. We loved the atmosphere and energy of the square, we fell in love with Krakow instantly! There’s an abundance array of restaurants and bars around the square where you can get a lovely breakfast, a mean steak, in fact there’s a cuisine for everyone’s taste. We found cheaper places to eat and drink off the main square

    We booked a skip the line tour, and we're glad we did. People queuing were waiting an hour to get in.
    Please be aware that this is not a museum for Oskar Schindler. It is about living in Krakow during the occupation. Our guide was excellent and explained the exhibition well and some subtle meanings. The downside was that we didn't get the opportunity to study the exhibits or descriptions. On the upside having a guide, we had a clear understanding.
    If I had been an individual, I would have been disappointed with the groups walking around. Although they were spaced out.
    I feel we probably had a better experience and understanding in a group.
    There are references to the impact of Oskar Schindler and his life.
    In summary, go in a group. It's easy walk from Hero's square. There are a few cafes nearby.
    It's worth going for the Krakow at war story.

    Beautiful castle. A must-do if travelling to Krakow. Entrance was free the day I went. However note that there are lots of things inside that you have to pay extra for (e.g. the cathedral, the caves, even the garden).

    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.

    Stunning church that is decorated throughout. You can go through at the entrance by the towers and view it from the back of the church. If you would like to walk around you can get tickets at the ticket office situated opposite the side of the church. If you go through the double doors at the side of the church without a ticket expect to be told off and made to look at a sign that tells you where to get the tickets. Tickets are 15 zloty about £3. We went at 4pm and there was no queue.

    A very lively restored area of the former Jewish quarter in Krakow. Note that most of the restaurants billing themselves as Jewish are not actually kosher nor Jewish

    We chose to come here during the terrible weather and I'm glad we did. We did the Into the Darkness tour where you experience what it is like to be without sight for an hour and you are helped by a blind guide. Sylvia was very funny and it gave us a lot to think about and appreciate.

    I mean it is located in the main square where you can find many souvenirs from magnets to hand made bags to some authentic staff. Of course a bit pricy.

    Very good tour of this small museum with guide and stained-glass maker Izu. She explained in great and enjoyable detail how the process of painting on stained glass works and, for me, this has always been a bit of a puzzle. She patiently took questions and it was very interesting to see the techniques demonstrated in the context of what is one of the oldest functioning stained glass workshops in Europe. There were also two exhibitions at the museum of stained glass windows and of photographs and partial photographs of complete windows around the city, and glass by Wyspianski, Mehoffer et al. These exhibitions, however, were very frustrating and rather dumbed down and both were marred by clumsy mood music. Works of art don't need music to accompany them, they are their own poetry, and having to fight through musical layers to look at them is highly distracting. The worst of this was in the main exhibition where a constant drone of steels obtruded into the space. Instead of being able to enjoy and appreciate each work of art for its own singular atmosphere, the music coerced the mind into a single mood, a single, predetermined response. There seems to be, in Krakow (and often more generally) a massive anxiety among curators that museum visitors will be unable to enjoy the museum experience unless it is morphed into a TV like environment. (I'm thinking of the Rynek Underground and the city museum in particular). I would beg the curators at the stained glass museum to turn off the music, and let these wonderful works of art breathe as they were intended by their makers.

    This is tucked away down an alley down some stairs, not far from Wawel Castle. There is a black tuk tuk car outside the alley advertising the museum. You can pay for an hour or for a liitle more you can have an all day pass. We spent nearly 3 hrs one evening here. Lots of different pinball machines you can play from the 70s onwards. There are also a few old videos games too.

    Wawel 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.

    Very moving being stood on the square
    The history of this place and all that happened. Its about a 10 min walk from the old town and minuets from schindlers factory
    We did both in the same day
    To be stood where people were being selected was quite thought provoking and knowing these chairs symbolise 63 thousand people is something to keep in mind when visiting

    It’s not a huge museum, but interesting to see all the medieval structures they unearthed not too long ago. The human/animal skulls and skeletons were the most fascinating. Some of the exhibits are reconstructions- slightly less awe-inspiring.
