    A square that really should be included in your trip. There’s such lovely buildings, church, plenty of restaurants and a very interesting cake and coffee shop, selling a jelly layered trifle cake, it was delicious. Don’t miss the bugle player who plays every hour from a window at the top of the tower.

    Loved this area- lovely buildings, quaint side roads, beautiful gardens to walk and wonderful history with the castle area. We loved the easy, laid back vibe of Krakow. This area was not expensive either. We'd love to come back. Please don't miss the Basilica of Mary for the noon opening of the altar, followed by the trumpeter! It was amazing.

    I’m not really one for this kind of activity but it was definitely worthwhile the visit. The inside is breathtaking. The intricate detail of the art is sublime and the high level ceilings are awesome. Many people praying whilst we were there with authenticates the experience.

    Wow, Wawel Castle totally blew me away! If you're into history, this place is a jackpot. They've got an insane amount of cool artifacts that you just don't see everywhere in Europe. It's like stepping right into a history book.

    Heads up—make sure you buy your tickets early, like a week or two in advance, especially around the holiday season. It's a popular spot and can get pretty crowded.

    You've got to check out the armory section if you go. It was easily my favorite part, packed with all sorts of old weapons and armor. It felt like walking through a medieval movie set!

    Honestly, I can’t recommend Wawel Castle enough. It’s such a great spot to soak in some serious history and just enjoy a day exploring.

    I recently visited Schindler's Factory Museum, and as a history addict, I was amazed by the depth and richness of the collections from WWII. The museum is filled with a wide array of artifacts that really bring the era to life, especially the stories about the Polish resistance army. I learned so much and even discovered things I’d never known before!

    One of the most moving parts of the museum is the memorial dedicated to the Holocaust victims located at the end of the exhibition. It's incredibly touching. I saw a man standing next to the photo of his grandfather, which was a powerful reminder of the personal stories behind the historical events.

    I highly recommend taking a guided tour. The guide we had was fantastic, making the artifacts come alive with stories and context. It turned the visit from just looking at objects to truly understanding and feeling the history around us.

    This museum isn't just a place to visit; it's an experience that educates and moves you. If you’re in the area and interested in history, this is a must-see.

    Went on a 3 day trip to Krakow with my friend and this is the best thing we did! We found out about it on social media before coming to Krakow, and we didn’t really know what to expect. We didn’t want to read up on it too much beforehand and after looking on the website, we’re quite nervous and decided to brave it.

    Lost Souls is a mix of Haunted House/Escape Room/Horror Maze. It lasts around half a hour. My heart was racing the whole time, and although it was terrifying, it was also fun and I’ve never experienced anything like it!

    We opted for the ‘green’ level where the actors do ‘touch’ you. This added to the experience and would definitely recommend this option, it was not too excessive and made it more realistic! They do not try to hurt you, but will back you into corners, grab you but most of the time they were guiding us in the right direction of how to escape as we couldn’t think straight!

    I’m not usually a person that gets scared but there is something for everyone: darkness, claustrophobia, being chased, weapons, but for me the worst was the fear of the unknown and apprehension.

    It is difficult to make this sound enjoyable but honestly it was so much fun, and was the best thing we did all weekend! The whole theme of the bar sets the scene of the experience really well (cheap pint too). There was somewhere secure where we could leave our belongings which is locked and monitored by staff.

    If you are coming to Krakow, make doing this experience a priority! I have never experienced anything like it, we had a great time!

    A great idea for a Saturday morning. I bought a ticket for my family and niece's birthday as part of "buying an experience, not a thing", at 10 a.m. on Saturday there are workshops for children. We all had a really good time. The children visited the studio with a guide and had a workshop (they designed stained glass windows on paper, they got very involved). Half an hour later, willing adults visited the workshop with a guide and we had the opportunity to see the craftsmen/artists doing their work. I will go again. BTW, after sightseeing, we went to Velo Food&Bar nearby, I also recommend this place.
