By Joanna Contact Me. Places to visit in Europe Aug. In this detailed travel guide to Krakow, you'll learn about the most interesting attractions in the city, the best places to eat, transportation tips and much more! We'll also share Krakow's dark secrets - when it comes to tourist places there's always a fly in the ointment. I've decided to describe the attractions which I like the best and which are easily accessible on foot or by public transportation.
There are lots of monuments and statues, pubs and restaurants. Street performers, festivals, horse-drawn carriages - you won't get bored there. It's one of the biggest and most prominent cathedrals in Poland. It features two unequal towers and a stunning interior with the famous wooden altarpiece by Wit Stwosz. I might not be a great fan of church sightseeing but I think it's worth visiting - its rich and colorful interior is on par with other famous European cathedrals.
It's available for tourists every day when no Mass is being conducted. You may check the visiting hours here. Today, it houses shops with local crafts and souvenirs. There are beautiful products but I must admit they're ridiculously overpriced. The museum is fully accessible to people with disabilities. Rynek Underground is closed every second Monday of the month. There are many foreign visitors in the museum so the audio guide is available for English, German, French, Japanese, Russian and Italian speaking groups.
We were carefree enough not to book the tickets in advance and as a result, we had to wait to get in for almost an hour. This might be OK during summertime but at the beginning of December, it wasn't very enjoyable. Rynek Underground Museum presents historical and archaeological findings. It is a must-see, especially for everyone who is fond of medieval times.
There are lots of interactive screens in various languages, holograms, videos and displays. The visit begins with a short film projected on a wall of smoke. There are lots of relics of medieval construction including fragments of buildings, cemeteries, parts of settlements, paving stones and an aqueduct.
