About this activity

Set off with a guide through the charming streets of the Old Town and enter one of the symbols of Krakow - St. Mary's Church. Look up and discover the beautiful vault and altar in front of you, carved by the great master Veit Stoss.

Listen to urban legends while walking around the Main Square, which has been the city's central square for 800 years. How much has happened here in this time! Goods from all over the world were sold on the trading floors, enriching Krakow's merchants, the city authorities strictly monitored law and order, the executioner tortured suspects in the dungeons of the city hall, and kings paraded through the square to get to their castle.

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 be at the same level as the cobblestone roads of Krakow from the 12th-13th centuries and discover Krakow anew.
