Krakow Old Town walk

Itinerary:     Strolling through the Old Town of Krakow we discover treasures and places that will let you feel the unique atmosphere of the city. We see Wawel Hill with the renaissance Royal Castle and Cathedral – the site of coronations and burials of kings. We then make our way to the Main Market Square – the largest medieval square in Europe – and the Cloth Hall market stalls from the fourteenth century (good place for souvenir hunters!). On the way we drop into the students’ quarter to see the buildings of the oldest university in Poland (the Jagiellonian University). We also visit St. Mary’s Church, a treasure trove of precious works of art and home to the largest medieval altar in Europe (the work of sculptor Veit Stoss) and the bugle call, which is played every hour from the tower of the church.
