St Florian’s Gate

St Florian’s Gate is one of the best-known Polish Gothic towers.
The tower had been built as part of a protective rampart around Kraków after the Tatar attack of 1241 which destroyed most of the city. First mentioned in 1307, the gate named after St Florian became the main entryway to the Old Town in Krakow.

Main Market Square

Main Market Square – the principal space located at the center of the Old Town. It dates back to the 13th century and it’s the largest medieval town square in Europe (at 3.79 ha – 9.4 acres).
The Main Market Square is a square space surrounded by historic townhouses and churches. The center of the square is dominated by the Cloth Hall (Sukiennica), rebuilt in the Renaissance style. On one side of the cloth hall is the Town Hall Tower (Wieża ratuszowa), on the other the 11th century Church of St. Adalbert and 1898 Adam Mickiewicz Monument. Rising above the square are the Gothic towers of St. Mary’s Basilica (Kościół Mariacki). Kraków Main Square does not have a town hall, because it has not survived to the present day. In 2016 The Project for Public Spaces (PPS) listed the Main Market as the best public space in Europe due to its lively street life, and it was a major factor in the inclusion of Kraków as one of the top off-the-beaten-path destinations in the world in 2016.

Wawel Royal Castle

One of the most famous monuments in Poland and a true symbol of Krakow. Located on the banks of the Vistula River, the castle of the kings of Poland has invariably attracted crowds of tourists for years with its many attractions: the cathedral with the Sigismund bell, royal tombs, the dragon’s cave and the fire-breathing dragon – these are elements of the buildings familiar to almost every Pole.
Also worth seeing at Wawel are the armory, the royal treasury, representative chambers, and a museum presenting exhibits that are priceless to Polish history and culture.
