Wander Kraków's Old Town, the medieval core organised around its vast Main Market Square. Admire the Cloth Hall and St Mary's Basilica, then follow side streets and the leafy Planty park toward Wawel Hill.
Full description
The Old Town is built around the Main Market Square, one of the largest medieval squares in Europe, with the Cloth Hall at its centre and St Mary's Basilica on one corner. Streets radiate out to Wawel Hill, and the green belt of the Planty park follows the line of the former city walls.
Gothic and Renaissance buildings, churches, courtyards, and cellar restaurants fill the grid, so each turn brings something new. It is the city's historic and tourist heart, busy but rewarding at any hour, especially early or late.
