Krakow Tours

Kraków packs a lot into a compact space. Two days will give you a decent shot at seeing most major sights, but even then you’ll have to keep moving and keep focused. Thankfully, there are plenty of cafes along the way to grab an energising cup of coffee or piece of cake. Jewish history in Poland goes back more than a thousand years, when the country was the epicenter of European Jewish life. Always Poland’s cultural capital, Krakow in particular holds a special place in Jewish lore, with many a Yiddish poem written about the old Kazimierz neighborhood and its vibrant Jewish culture. The horrors of the Holocaust ravaged Poland’s Jewish community to near-extinction, but lately there have been signs of a revival. Poles – Jews and Gentiles alike – are rediscovering their shared history as Jewish life and culture is slowly returning to Krakow.

Main Market Square of Krakow

This central Square in Old Town is among the largest of Europes medieval squares and it has witnessed many famous and sometimes horrific events through the centuries. The uniquely named elegant townhouses which surround the square are full of curiosities and history. This is where you will find great Christmas and Easter Markets.
Rynek Underground
5 A truly unique guided tour to intrigue you in Krakow is of Rynek Underground. This is a museum that is located four metres below Main Market Square. It is a very popular and hi-tech museum where you can explore the likes of medieval merchant stalls dating to before the 13th century which were recently excavated. There are over 6,000m of exhibits to see with the majority being multimedia and fascinating. 
Sukiennice (Cloth Hall)
6 The central feature of Main Market Square and Krakow’s most recognizable attractions is Cloth Hall or Sukiennice. This structure dates back to the mid 13th century and originally looked like two rows of trading stalls made of stone with a road running through the centre. However, a roof was built and it became the trading hall. This structure has been through destruction and development and has much to offer a curious tourist.
St Mary’s Basilica
7 St Mary’s Basilica is just another reason why the Main Market Square is great for guided tours. Its original church was left in ruins an the 13th Century and rebuilt in the style of Gothic Architecture. During the 15th century, the iconic towers were added and it is from one of these towers that the famous, on the hour, bugle call comes from.
