Climb Town Hall Tower, the medieval landmark rising from Krakow's Main Square. Work your way up the narrow stairs past city history exhibits, then take in the view over the square from the top.
Full description
Town Hall Tower is the only remaining part of the old city hall on the Main Square, dating back to the 14th century. Visitors climb narrow, steep staircases through several floors, with exhibits on the city's history along the way.
Reviewers highlight the climb itself, around 110 unusually tall steps, and the views from the top over the square. It is a small, compact visit of about 30 minutes, and a modest entry fee applies.
Opening hours vary by day, so checking ahead is worthwhile before planning around it.

The view from the top is absolutely fantastic — well worth the visit! And the experience of climbing four floors through very narrow and low staircases is something you simply cannot miss. It adds a unique sense of adventure and makes reaching the top even more rewarding. Highly recommended!
