Nov 7, 2024

　　This flea market at the centre of Kazimierz is best on Saturday and Sunday mornings, when it's crammed with stalls selling everything from clothing to comic books. On other days, you'll find scattered tables with fresh produce, antiques, as well as Judaica and communism-related souvenirs. Late-night food stalls here operate until around 2am.

Must-see attractions

Kościuszko Mound

　　This mound, dedicated to Polish (and American) military hero Tadeusz Kościuszko (1746–1817), was erected between 1820 and 1823. It stands 34m high and includes soil from both the Polish and American battlefields where Kościuszko fought. The views over the city are spectacular. Admission includes the hike up the mound as...

Church of SS Peter & Paul

　　The Jesuits erected this church, the first baroque building in Kraków, after they had been brought to the city in 1583 to do battle with supporters of the Reformation. Designed on the Latin cross layout and topped with a large skylit dome, the church has a refreshingly sober interior, apart...

Collegium Maius

　　The Collegium Maius, part of Jagiellonian University, is the oldest surviving university building in Poland, and one of the finest examples of 15th-century Gothic architecture in the city. It's best known for its star pupil, Polish astronomer and mathematician Nicolaus Copernicus. Guided tours (from 10am) show off some of his...

　　If you like big portions and low prices, this restaurant just outside the Planty by Jagiellonian University is the place to go. Meaning ‘treats’ in Polish, Smakołyki is full of them. If not strictly traditional Polish food, it's nevertheless wholesome and delicious, and the view from the large window makes...

St Mary's Basilica

　　This striking brick church, best known simply as St Mary’s, is dominated by two towers of different heights. The first church here was built in the 1220s and following its destruction during a Tatar raid, construction of the basilica began. Tour the exquisite interior, with its remarkable carved wooden altarpiece,...

Wieliczka Salt Mine

　　Some 14km southeast of Kraków, the Wieliczka (vyeh-leech-kah) salt mine has been welcoming tourists since 1722 and today is one of Poland's most popular attractions. It's a subterranean labyrinth of tunnels and chambers – about 300km distributed over nine levels, the deepest being 327m underground – of which a small...

Museum of Pharmacy

　　The name of this museum doesn’t sound that exciting, but the Jagiellonian University Medical School’s Museum of Pharmacy is one of the largest museums of its kind in Europe and arguably the best. Accommodated in a beautiful historic townhouse worth the visit alone, it features a 22,000-piece collection, which includes...

Wawel Cathedral

　　Wawel Cathedral has witnessed many coronations, funerals and burials of Poland’s monarchs and nobles. The present cathedral is basically a Gothic, but chapels in different styles were built around it later. The showpiece is the Sigismund Chapel (Kaplica Zygmuntowska) on the southern wall. It’s often referred to as the most...

Wawel Royal Castle

　　As the political and cultural heart of Poland through the 16th century, Wawel Royal Castle is a potent symbol of national identity. It's now a museum containing five separate sections: Crown Treasury and Armoury, State Rooms, Royal Private Apartments, Lost Wawel and the Exhibition of Oriental Art. Each requires a...

Temple Synagogue

　　One of the quarter's most visually arresting synagogues, the Temple dates from the mid-19th century. It was built in Moorish style and then given a lavish makeover in the past 20 years after being partially destroyed by the occupying Germany army in WWII. It's inactive these days, but still holds...

　　A delightful, family-run bar mleczny (milk bar), but a slight step up from the typical cafeteria setting. Line up at the steam table and choose your food. Highlights include a range of coleslaws, classic Polish mains like stuffed cabbage rolls and delicious kompot (juice of stewed fruit). ...

Schindler's Factory

　　Despite the name, this museum covers more than the story of Oskar Schindler, the Nazi German industrialist who famously saved the lives of members of his Jewish labour force during the Holocaust. It also expands to include all aspects of the German occupation of Kraków from 1939 to 1945 through...
