Once encircled by 2-mile-long medieval fortifications, Krakow is certainly abundant in history (dating back to the 7th century), cultural heritage (once named the European Capital of Culture), art, academia, and globality.
From a Stone Age settlement to a major political center (and former capital of Poland) – with the largest medieval commercial square in Europe – Krakow has now evolved into a global hotspot boasting both contemporary and medieval sites.
With one of the oldest universities, the first ever UNESCO World Heritage sites (the remarkably preserved ‘Old Town’ and Wawel Royal Castle), it’s no surprise that the city attracts on average 13 million visitors annually!
Evidently, the list of things to do and see in Kraków is exhaustive… So, to make it more digestible, here’s the top 10:
First and foremost, a visit to the Wawel Royal Castle (the 1st ever world heritage site) is essential to appreciating the cultural and historical underbelly of Kraków.
This popular site is an architectural complex, comprising a collection of prominent buildings of varying architectural styles, including the Wawel Cathedral, St. Michael’s and St. George’s Chapels, as well as exhibitions featuring priceless jewels and an armory.
Formerly a separate (14th-century) city from Krakow Old Town, this quarter previously served as a refuge to the Jewish community fleeing persecution. Despite it being tragically eradicated during World War II after 500 years of autonomy, the Jewish community reclaimed Kazmierz, and the Jewish Cultural Festival was born (1988), a 9-day festival that runs annually, celebrating their cuisine, music, and art.
Not far from the Wawel Castle complex, you’ll find the age-old ‘Dragon’s Den’, a limestone cave in Wawel Hill. Outside stands a fire-breathing statue of Smok, a testament to Kraków’s cultural identity and passion for folklore. Legend has it that the dragon (Smok Wawelski) was slain by King Krakus, the mythical founder of Kraków.
Known as Rynek Główny in Stare Miasto ‘Old Town’, this famed market square measuring 200 by 200 meters, has a claim to being one of the largest in Europe and has been a cultural epicenter of Kraków since the 13th century.
There you can find the Renaissance Cloth Hall, the 14th-century Gothic Basilica of the Virgin Mary, and many picturesque, neatly ordered townhouses.
Perhaps take a little excursion out of the ‘Old Town’ to Tyniec, a dreamy, fairy-tale-like village belonging to Krakow. Situated atop a cliff in a limestone canyon by the Vistula River, this Benedictine Abbey still serves as a monastery, with guided tours, a museum, and concerts in the summer. It is easily available by bus from the historic center!
One of the best preserved and former parts of the city’s defense, the Barbican serves now as an impressive theatre, not only worth visiting for the open-air shows and exhibitions, but also to marvel at Kraków’s military history.
Formerly one of the most important institutions for trade, this ‘pearl of the Renaissance’ now offers art, souvenirs, and historical artifacts. See the Rynek Underground, medieval market square (Rynek Główny), Gallery of Polish 19th Century Art, Jan Noworolski’s Café, and try to spot the hanging Iron Knife.
This 34-meter-high mound was compiled in honor of the Polish national Hero Tadeusz Kościuszko, a figure during Polish resistance against Prussia and Russia, with his remains interred beneath, finalized in 1823. One of four ceremonial mounds in Kraków – an old Cracovian tradition-, and well worth the climb for panoramic vistas of Kraków, the Vistula River, and the Tatra Mountains.
If you would like a little break from the city’s busy epicenter and need a little respite, there are over 40 parks to choose from! From the Botanical, Zoological, or Royal Gardens to forests and grand parks such as ‘Planty Park’ which circles Krakow’s Old Town, you are never that far from greenery amidst the city.
Located within the Wawel Castle complex, you’ll find this Gothic-style cathedral packed in next to Sigismund’s Chapel and the Wacław dynasty Chapel. Originally built in the 11th century, it has been reconstructed several times, not only reflecting various architectural styles, but also the opulence of preceding Polish royals.
