Historic Centre of Kraków –a UNESCO World Heritage site

The Old Town (Stare Miasto), encircled by the green belt of the Planty Park, is framed by St. Florian’s Gate to the north and the Wawel Castle (Zamek Królewski na Wawelu) with the Wawel Cathedral (Katedra Wawelska) atop Wawel Hill to the south.

Between these two iconic landmarks stretches the Main Market Square (Rynek Główny), home to St. Mary’s Basilica (Bazylika Mariacka), the Rynek Underground Museum (Rynek Podziemny), and the historic buildings of the Jagiellonian University.

The Main Market Square is within a pleasant walking distance of approximately 30 minutes from the Central Railway Station. For more information on things to do, hotels and restaurants: https://visitkrakow.com/sightseeing-in-krakow/
