Museum of Krakow Town Hall Tower

70 metres (230 ft), 110 stone steps, the executioner’s dungeons, and 700 years on the Main Market Square: this is the Town Hall Tower, the only remnant of the original seat of the city authorities.
Church of St. Adalbert
(Pass by)
What does this small, unimposing church do in the impressive and vast Main Market Square of Kraków? Moreover: standing askew? This edifice is a relic of very distant times, long before the chartering of the city and the staking out of the Market Square. This place at the crossroads of trade routes was selected for a purpose: according to tradition, it is here that St Adalbert, a Bohemian cleric.
St Mary's Basilica
A history spanning over eight centuries, a high altar by Veit Stoss (Wit Stwosz), a bugle call, the star strewn murals by Jan Matejko covering the vaulting: all this in a single church! Moreover: in the very centre of Kraków!
Ulica Grodzka
One of the oldest streets in Kraków, it is a part of the Royal Route, the official historical royal path leading from the gates of the city to Wawel.
