Krakow's Market Square with St. Mary's Basilica and Rynek Underground

+9 photos
Set off with your guide through the charming streets of the Old Town, passing historic tenement houses, university buildings and the remains of defensive walls. Enter one of the symbols of Krakow that you certainly know from pictures and photos - St. Mary's Church. Look up and discover the beautiful vault and the extraordinary altar in front of you, carved with great care and precision by the great master Veit Stoss.Listen to urban legends while walking around the Main Square, which has been the central square of Royal Krakow for 800 years. How much has happened here during all this time! Goods from all over the world were sold on the trading floors, enriching Krakow's merchants, the city authorities closely monitored order, the executioner tortured suspects in the dungeons of the city hall, and royal carriages crossed the square to get to the castle on Wawel Hill. Oh, what a time it was...The most interesting traces of ancient events can still be found on the Market Square, and even more so under the Market Square! You will go 4 meters underground to the Underground Archaeological Museum to find yourself at the same level as the cobbled roads of Krakow from the 12th-13th centuries and discover Krakow anew thanks to the multimedia exhibition and artifacts.
