Stop At: St. Florian's Gate (Brama Florianska), Ul. Pijarska, Krakow 31-015 Poland
Medieval Krakow was a small city surrounded by massive city walls. There were seven huge gates and 47 watch towers which belonged to different guilds. There was also water circling along the walls. Today, you can still admire one original gate - St. Florian’s.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Little Market Square (Maly Rynek), Maly Rynek, Krakow Poland
This square was created as a meat market in medieval ages, but now it is the scene of many cultural and artistic events that happen almost every weekend during the summer season.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Zapiekanki od 1980 roku, Sienna 3, 33-332 Kraków, Poland
In Krakow, you can buy zapiekanka (a long, open-faced sandwich) everywhere, but local residents know there’s only one place where this special dish has survived the turbulent years of transformation. A microscopic shop in the middle of Sienna Street, this place still maintains tradition and, since 1980, has been selling true zapiekanka.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Main Market Square, Grodzka 2, 31-006 Kraków, Poland
Main Market Square is the real heart of today’s city of Krakow. The majority of buildings date back to the 14 and 15th centuries and have gothic basements showing the medieval level of the city. During the summertime Krakow’s Main Market Square hosts plenty of cultural and historical events including the International Jazz Festival, Independent Cinema Festival, Street Theater Festival and many others.
Duration: 15 minutes
Pass By: St. Mary's Basilica, plac Mariacki 5, 31-042 Kraków, Poland
You should be there at the top of the hour to listen to the trumpeter who plays from the highest tower of this extraordinary church, a special signal to commemorate a legendary victory over the Mongols in the 13th century. This place is always busy, but around 2pm to 4pm there are fewer people, so if you can - enjoy the Basilica in the afternoon.
Stop At: Kazmierz The Former Jewish District, Szeroka 24, Krakow 31-053 Poland
Tram to Kazimierz district .
Our next stop is the Kazimierz quarter, which in the past was a separate and autonomous city created by the king of the same name, and now is the most recognizable bohemian district of Krakow. Although it can be reached easily on foot, we will take local transport.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Kazmierz The Former Jewish District, Szeroka 24, Krakow 31-053 Poland
Jozefa Street has a unique charm thanks to its murals, small galleries and local restaurants. Here, you can find everything from handmade Polish pottery and elaborate jewelry to wooden toys, old photos or postcards and unexpected trinkets.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: The New Square, Plac Nowy, Krakow Poland
Wherever you look in this area there is a bar or restaurant, and many locals will spend an entire night in this one spot. You could meet up with friends at one corner of the square and then spend hours visiting the different bars around it. Every Sunday morning there is a huge flea market, offering vintage furniture, old records, handmade pottery and more.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Ethnographic Museum, pl. Wolnica 1, Krakow 31-060 Poland

Stop At: Krakow's Rynek Glowny Central Square, Center of Old Town, Krakow Poland
Marchewka z Groszkiem (Carrots with Peas), situated at the corner of Wolnica Square and Mostowa Street, can be a great place for a typical Polish lunch.

Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Father Bernatek Footbridge, Przy Moscie 1, Krakow 33-332 Poland
