Dzień 1 · Arrival and the Main Square
Kraków
💬 Runs about every 30 minutes and takes under 20 minutes; buy the ticket from the machine or on board.
Kraków
💬 Historic townhouse one minute from the square; rooms facing the courtyard are the quiet ones.
Kraków
One of Europe's largest medieval town squares, centred on the Renaissance Cloth Hall (Sukiennice).
💬 Upstairs in the Cloth Hall is the Gallery of 19th-Century Polish Art; downstairs are the amber and wood-carving stalls.
Kraków
Gothic basilica on the Main Square with a carved 15th-century wooden altarpiece by Veit Stoss.
💬 The hejnał is played from the taller tower every hour; inside, the Veit Stoss altarpiece is the highlight.
Kraków
💬 Order a mixed plate — ruskie (potato and cheese) and meat — plus a żurek soup.
Dzień 2 · Wawel and Kazimierz
Kraków
Renaissance residence of the Polish kings on Wawel Hill above the Vistula.
💬 Tickets are timed and sold per exhibition; State Rooms plus the Crown Treasury is plenty for a first visit.
Kraków
Coronation and burial church of the Polish kings, next to the castle.
💬 Climb the wooden stairs to the Sigismund Bell, then down to the royal crypts.
Kraków
💬 The round market hall in the middle sells the famous open-faced baguettes; pick a queue and point.
Kraków
The oldest surviving synagogue building in Poland, now a museum of the history and culture of Kraków's Jews.
💬 Also visit the Remuh Synagogue and its old cemetery a few steps away (closed on Saturdays).
Dzień 3 · Wieliczka and Schindler's Factory
Kraków
💬 Regional trains take about 20 minutes; the station is a short walk from the mine entrance.
Kraków
Salt mine worked from the 13th century to 1996, with chapels and statues carved from rock salt; a UNESCO World Heritage site.
💬 Guided only — book an English tour online in summer. It's around 15 °C underground all year, so bring a layer.
Kraków
Museum in Schindler's former factory telling the story of Kraków during the German occupation of 1939–1945.
💬 Timed entry and it sells out — book a day or two ahead. Allow two hours; it's a museum about Kraków under Nazi occupation, not only Schindler.
Dzień 4 · Under the square and home
Kraków
💬 Timed tickets; the medieval street levels under the square are well done with holograms and projections.
Kraków
The oldest building of the Jagiellonian University, where Copernicus studied, now a university museum.
💬 The courtyard is free; guided tours of the interiors run at set times.
Kraków
💬 The painters' stalls along the old city wall next to the gate are fun to browse.
Kraków
💬 Platforms are under the Galeria Krakowska mall; leave a little extra time to find them.
