Krakow, like every large city, is constantly changing, and the greatest fun of tourists is rediscovering the face of a city that has already passed. Some artifacts of the past can be found "on the surface", for others you have to descend a few meters underground, to the interiors of the Market Square Underground Museum. Visit this type of archaeological park where you can observe vivid images of the life of a large, bustling city recreated with the help of modern technology. Look at the foundations of medieval buildings that surrounded the main square of the city, see coins lost by merchants to whom this area belonged, hear stories about the executioner administering public penalties for crimes, learn about old measures and weights. It will also be an excellent educational trip for children bordering on legends and fairy tales.
The Krakow Undergrounds Museum on the Market Square, opened in 2010, is a kind of archaeological park where you can observe pictures of the life of a large, bustling medieval city. With the help of modern technology, the authors of the project created the ideal illusion of a lively medieval city. At a depth of several metres below the surface of the Main Market Square, from the Cloth Hall to St Mary’s Church, awaits a true treasure trove of information on Kraków’s past. In 4000-square-meters underground there are streets and stands of thousands years old, and there is atmosphere of the market square - you can hear merchants talking and carts creaking. Scales, coins, clothes, jeweleries and even human remains - all the artefacts were found during the excavations. Walk into the depths of Krakow on a 1.5-hour guided tour of Rynek Underground Museum accompanied by a professional English-speaking guide, and discover the medieval market stalls and the city’s rich history.
The main square is the principal urban space located at the center of the city. The main square is a square space surrounded by historic townhouses and churches. The center of the square is dominated by the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice), topped by a beautiful attic decorated with carved masks.
