Kraków is a city in southern Poland with a very turbulent history and a mix of cultures.

Yes, it totally is—even if just for a one-day trip—and I’m going to prove it to you with my ranking of top things to do in Krakow and a sample of Krakow 3-day itinerary.

I went to explore Krakow in March 2025 with my girlfriend, and previously, in 2019, many times before. In total, I’ve spent about 2 weeks in Krakow, I’ve seen everything worth seeing, and now, I’ve ranked it all according to my own judgment and will tell you how to spend the best day in Krakow.

What is Krakow like? 

I’m sure the city will leave you in absolute awe 

But first, just to give you an overall impression of Krakow? What can you expect from visiting Krakow? Krakow is the second largest Polish city and thanks to its history, there is a great blend of architecture and various cultural influences from Germany through Austro-Hungary to Jewish. 

The city center is compact enough so you will be able to mostly walk between the best things to do in Krakow, but there are a few attractions that you will need public transport or a car, like a day trip to Auschwitz or Wieliczka Salt Mine. 

 

Best things to do in Krakow–ranked based on my own experience 

1. Museum of Princes Czartoryski
2. Wawel Castle
3. Oskar Schindler Enamelware Factory

How much time do you need in Krakow? 

Both the city center and the Kazimierz quarter are so worth a visit

From my multiple visits to Krakow, I suggest at least 2 days, but more likely 4 days, if you want to visit the most interesting day trips from Krakow. Aside from the historical center, there are so many interesting museums, and just strolling the historical Kazimierz neighborhood is worth your time.

Visiting Krakow: Quick tips for your trip 

The view of the Vistula river is only one of the many beautiful things in Krakow

 

• The situation in parking is a bit troublesome in Krakow, you will have to leave your car on the streets frequently, as there is a lack of parking spaces, especially in the city centre. 

• Being historically part of German-speaking Poland, it has very strong vibes like Berlin or Vienna, which is a good thing.

• You absolutely have to buy Auschwitz-Birkenau, Wieliczka Salt Mine, Wawel Castle, and Oskar Schindler's Museum tickets upfront, especially if you are visiting during the summer. Even during March, Auschwitz was sold off a month before.

• Check the days of your visit. Don't visit on Monday, as I did. Many of the most interesting museums in Krakow are closed.

• Prepare for all weather. I had around 5 degrees in September, and I also had 25 degrees in March.

• A lot of people speak really good English, so even though Czech-Polish is workable for us as the languages are semi-comprehensible, but English works just fine.

• Don't forget your personal ID while visiting Auschwitz. They will check if it fits with the tickets.

• Stay in Marriott Krakow–It has a superb Spa, nice rooms, and the best breakfast in Poland. 

 

Where to stay in Krakow? 

I stayed in many hotels in Krakow, but I loved the Marriott Hotel the most—good rooms, spa, location, parking, and breakfast. All I ever need from a hotel. 

 

1. Museum of Princes Czartoryski 

Museum of Princes Czartoryski had me way more excited than I anticipated

 

Practical info: 

• Opening hours: 10 am–6 pm (last admission at 5 pm), closed on Mondays
• Price: Regular 65 zł (10 zł for audioguide)

Top Tip: Buy the audioguide. It gives you a lot of fun facts, and it turns on automatically as you move through the museum.

This museum is one of the best museums I have ever visited, and having said that, I am a museum geek and have visited hundreds of museums in 50+ countries.

 

Top Tip: There is Da Vinci's second most famous painting–The Lady with an Ermine. It's at the very end of the museum.

You can imagine Museum Czartoryski as the British Museum or the Louvre of Poland–yes, it's that significant.

 

What to Expect at Czartoryski Museum? 

The variety of the pieces displayed is extreme @ Museum of Princes Czartoryski
 

It used to be a private museum owned by the Czartoryski family, but it was purchased by the Polish state in 2017. The collection itself was established in 1796.

Expect a museum that spreads into two buildings and covers anything from ancient Egypt and Greek artifacts to a lot of the most important memorabilia connected to the Polish state, such as the Saber of Kosciuzko or Hussar armor.

The rooms are thematically connected, so it tells you a sort of story. This is exactly the museum I would have built if I were a prince. And I would throw a Da Vinci painting or two in just in case.

 

Here you can see the pieces I mentioned above

 

Top Tip: You should buy tickets upfront in summer; in any other season, you are fine.

In the last part of the museum, you can find some of the most important paintings in Poland by Italian or Dutch masters. 

Set aside at least 2 hours if you breeze through museums, or even a full day if you love history. I thought there: "I wish I had more time." I spent 5 hours there.

 

2. Wawel Castle 

Taking a stroll through Wawel is kind of like time travel

 

Practical info:

• Opening hours: Monday 9 am–2 pm, Tuesday–Sunday 9 am–4 pm
• Price: Wawel for Enthusiasts combined ticket 180 zł
  • Castle I: 89 zł
  • Castle II: 49 zł
  • Crown Treasury: 43 zł
  • Castle Underground: 43 zł
  • Cathedral: 25 zł
     

I consider Wawel Castle as one of the most interesting castles you can see anywhere in Europe. It's absolutely spectacular from the exterior, thanks to the bricks, and it is one of the main things to see in Krakow for most tourists.

The original castle was built in 970, but the current buildings are much younger and they are mainly connected to Krakow, being the former capital of Poland (until 1596), in the medieval and early Renaissance.

 

There seems to be a theme with Krakow and variety @ Wawel Castle

 

You can spend the full day in the castle if you want to see everything. But honestly, the quality of the exhibits varies, with the Castle Treasury being easily the best, and the Lapidarium part is not for everyone.

Top Tip: Visit the castle after dusk as well. It has an absolutely different vibe than during the day.

 

What to expect at Wawel Castle? 

Wawel Castle has something for everyone
 

You can take multiple visits to the castle or buy a combined ticket. The ticket office is hidden on the other side of the main square from the entrance.

The routes in the Wawel Castle

• The Lost Wawel (Underground) and Lapidarium–meh
• Crown Treasury and the Armory–the best part of the castle
• Royal private apartments–normal castle-like
• Art exhibition–a normal art collection, like anywhere else
• The Cathedral–well worth the tour.

The best part to visit is the Treasury and Armory, as there are some seriously significant artifacts and regalia placed there. The other parts of the Castle are normal castle visits of paintings, furniture from various times etc. 

The Wawel Cathedral is super interesting to visit, because you can climb up the tower with one of the best views in Krakow.

Top Tip: The castle is a guided tour, so don't forget to take the audioguide as it significantly improves your visit to the castle.

I also love that even though the Wawel Castle is quite large, it is compact enough and quickly walkable from one part to the other. Unfortunately, the views from the ramparts are not anything special, as there are very few historic buildings seen from the ramparts across the Vistula River.

 

Tips for the best visit 

In case I didn’t make it obvious enough, there is a LOT to explore at Wawel Castle

 

• The castle is immense, plan well, and if possible, split it into 2 half-days. I did, and it was a good decision as the full day would be too much of a challenge for me.

• The best photo spots of Wawel are below from the Vistula. And also from the river walk, you have a sort of Hollywood Walk of Fame. You are going to see the Dragon's Den anyway, so why not take some pictures?

• Each part of the castle will take you anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes.

• You have to buy a combined ticket before noon. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to visit the whole castle. So they won't let you buy a combined ticket.

 

3. Oskar Schindler’s Enamelware Factory Museum 

Schindler’s Museum is an educational must-visit
 

Practical info:

• Opening hours: Tuesday–Sunday 9 am–7 pm, Monday 10 am–2 pm
• Price: 40 zł
   

The Museum is located a bit out of the city center, and there is trouble with parking around, so prepare in advance.

The main exhibit is about Krakow under Nazi occupation between 1939 and 1945. It explores life in Krakow before and during the occupation. Especially emphasizing Jewish experiences and Shindler's personal experiences. 

It gave me a bit of a different perspective than the movie on Oskar Schindler's visit, and it also gives it much more context.

Top Tip: You need to buy tickets in advance. During my first visit, I didn't, and then I could not visit the museum without waiting in line for an hour or so. 

 

4. Banksy Museum in Krakow 

Meaningful and slightly grim art–just my cup of coffee @ Banksy Museum
 

Practical info: 

• Opening hours: 11 am–7 pm (last entry at 6:15 pm)
• Price: 55 zł
   

I am not much into Art Museums, but I love Banksy, and I loved this Krakow Museum. It is full of replicas of Banksy street art with explanations and stories.

I loved the museum, and my girlfriend hated it, considering it too brutal. It's not for everyone.

 

What to expect at Banksy Museum

A taste of what you can see at the Banksy Museum

 

You can expect to encounter the most important street art of Banksy, such as Rioting Pigeons against immigration, Venice in Oil, Toxic Mary, or my favorite, Follow your Dreams–canceled.

It has a super contemporary and somehow dirty street feel. The navigation is foolproof as it's one-way only. I was surprised how big the museum was; I was expecting to go through it in 10 minutes.

I spent about 90 minutes here; I would dedicate at least 45 minutes. If you have at least a bit of pseudo-intellectualism in yourself, it is a must-visit place in Krakow.

 

 

5. Sukiennice (cloth hall) and Main Square (Rynek Główny) 

The Main square is truly adorable

Another staple at everyone's Krakow Itinerary is the visit to the Main Square (Rynek główny) in the old town and the famous Sukiennice (cloth hall), and truly it's a sight to behold. 

The largest medieval market square in Europe. It is this absolutely immense square with a stunning cathedral on one side and Sukiennice on the other. 

Another advantage of Rynek Glowny is its central location for all the restaurants, whether you fancy traditional Polish food or any street food.

With Adam Mickiewicz’s monument–which he unfortunately did not ask me “Quo vadis”–see what I did there 

For me, Rynek główny is one of the prettiest squares in all of Europe. 

 

What can you see in the Main Market Square in the Old Town? 

The main attractions on the main market square in Krakow to visit are:

 

Sukiennice (Cloth hall)

Sukiennice is truly a beauty

The most famous building in the square is Sukiennice–it dates back to the 14th century as the main trading hub for spices and cloth.

It's super photogenic from all sides, but unfortunately, inside, you can find only a market. But under the Krakow Cloth Hall, you can find the Krakow underground museum–more on that below.

A very stunning and dominant building from the outside, and just a market on the inside.

You also have to climb the tower here.

 

Kraków Town Hall Tower 

Sunsets provide a lovely atmosphere @ Krakow Town Hall

Practical info: 

• Opening hours: Tuesday–Sunday 11 am–6 pm, Monday 11 am–3 pm
• Price: 20 zł
   

From the main square, you can climb the only building left standing from the former Town Hall in Krakow, a tower. It's a shame you can't go outside to have better views.

Besides great views of the square and Wawel hill, there are small exhibits to see on each floor of the tower–basically a story of Medieval and Renaissance Krakow's history.

It will take you a maximum of 20 minutes. And if you don’t have much time, this is absolutely skippable.

Another attraction in the main market square of Krakow is St. Mary's basilica and Underground Rynek Museum–but they have their own points in my list of the best things to do in Krakow.

 

6. Kościuszko Mound–Fort and a hero memorial 

You can see I really enjoyed Kosciuszko 

 

Practical info:

• Opening hours: daily 9 am–6 pm
• Price: 28 zł
• Parking: Many free parking spaces are nearby
   

The reasons to visit Krakow are mainly the views of Krakow, the river, and the castle. Besides a great mound with a viewing platform, you can expect a nice short walk through the museum about Kosciuszko. 

The museum is a story of the Polish struggle for independence in the 18th century. It is a unique place to visit in Krakow as it is a combination of views, a museum, and a monument.

The views from Mt. Kosciuszko are insane (not talking about myself ofc)

 

Fun Fact: Kosciuszko was a national hero of Poland, the United States, and Belarus–that much of an MVP he was.

The climb itself is not very challenging, and it is not challenging even for the elderly.

Fun Fact: The highest mountain in Australia–Mt. Kosciuszko was named after this place, not the other way around. This monument predates the mountain name.

I spent about 60 minutes here.

 

7. All the other Krakow churches–St. Mary's Basilica  

Name a better duo than churches and central Europe... I’ll wait @ St. Mary’s Basilica

 

I will make this point easy for you and won't divide it artificially into multiple points. Just rank the churches and mention the ones to visit in Krakow.

1. Cathedral in Wawel–all was written above.
2. Church of St. Mary's Basilica
   • Opening hours: 11:30 am–6 pm, Sunday 2 pm–6 pm
   • Price: 15 zł
3. St. Joseph Church
   • Opening hours: daily 7 am–7 pm
   • Price: free
4. Holy Trinity Church
   • Opening hours: daily 7 am– 9 pm
   • Price: free
5. Church of St. Barbara in Krakow
   • Opening hours: 10 am–4 pm, Sunday 9 am–6 pm
   • Price: free
6. St. Francis Church
   • Opening hours: 10 am– 4 pm, Sunday 1 pm–3 pm
   • Price: free
7. St. Wojciech Church
   • Opening hours: 10 am–4 pm, closed on Sunday
   • Price: 5 zł

St. Mary’s Basilica is nothing if not breathtaking

Most of the Krakow churches are spectacular from the outside and, with the exception of St. Mary Basilica and Cathedral, have been decorated in Baroque style. Meaning there is not much to see, and you can plan at a maximum of 20 minutes per church.

If you are interested in more about churches, you can learn more in my Krakow Itinerary.

Fun Fact and Tip: Don't visit Churches at midday. As me being in Poland, I entered churches at 12:00, let's just say I saw a lot of masses for some reason. 

 

8. Florian's gate and Florianska street in the City Centre 

​Taking a stroll from the unique Barbacan through Florainska street is a great idea

The main historical street of the city, leading from the Barbacan to the main market square (Rynek Glowny). 

The walk through the street won't take you longer than 5-10 minutes. There are some historical buildings, but it's mainly a place of shops and bistros.

 

9. Bricks and Figs 

Le(t’s) go
 

Practical info: 

• Opening hours: 10 am–8 pm (last entry at 7:30 pm)
• Price: 39 zł

With the popularity of Lego and me being an outgrown child, I had to visit this "Lego" museum, as I would have to visit any other Lego Museum. Jokes aside, this museum is privately owned and nicely done. 

You can expect most of the famous LEGO sets on display, such as the Colosseum or the Titanic. There are 12.000 LEGO mini figures–some of them are really rare.

With the sheer amount of figurines Bricks and Figs has, I’m surprised I don’t have my own

Top Tip: Look for some easter eggs as the owners and curators of Bricks and Figs have a hidden sense of humor.

The only caveat is that it's a bit small for the price. Having said that, you can buy some rarer boxes of Lego on site. Or you can buy many unique LEGO mini figures. 

The museum itself is quite small, and it will take you 60 minutes at most.

 

10. Rynek Underground Museum 

The Underground Museum was a blast
 

Practical info: 

• Opening hours: 
  • Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 10 am–7 pm
  • Tuesday 10 am–3 pm
  • Friday, Saturday 10 am–8 pm
• Price: 40 zł

I was looking forward to this museum–it was good, but not as spectacular and interesting as I was hoping for. The museum entry is from one side of the Sukiennice. 

Rynek Underground Museum is one of the newer museums in Poland, and it is partially ruins of old Krakow and stories of its trading and Hanseatic history. The ruins are on the old town street level, which I found very interesting.

The very fun way to gain historical context for your Krakow trip @ Rynek Underground Museum

Top Tip: I suggest it to be one of the first places to visit in Krakow, as it is about Krakow's history–it will give you a great context.

Fun Fact: Krakow was the furthest member of the Hanseatic League from the sea.

It is a very interactive museum and also a big one. If you are into history, you can spend even more than 2 hours here. I consider this museum optional if you are not into history.

 

11. Polish Army Museum 

The Polish Army Museum is another source of historical context that you should pay attention to

 

Practical info:

• Opening hours: 10 am–5 pm, closed on Monday
• Price: 13 zł

The museum is located near Kraków's old town. It is dedicated to the Polish army, mainly in the period of World War II. 

These army museums are usually not very interactive. Well, not this one, it combines physical weapons with interactive displays. It is a nice story about the struggles of one of the hardest periods in Polish history.

I spent about 90 minutes here, but then again, I like museums, World War 2, and armies.

 

12. Krakow Barbican 

Krakow Barbican

 

Practical info:

• Opening hours: 10 am–6 pm, closed on Mondays
• Price: 20 zł

It's a very impressive Tower/Fort near the historical Florian's Gate and Florian Street. You will have to go around it anyway, and it's well worth exploring. 

It was built in the 15th century to protect the main city gate and help the city walls do their work. Its defensive walls are more than 3 meters thick.

You can enter the inside to explore the ramparts and walk around. Sadly, during any of my visits, I could not enter.

 

13. Kazimierz–The Jewish Quarter 

Kazimierz has so much to offer

 

Practical info: 

• The parking is easy in the Kazimierz Quarter - there are many parking spots.

I consider the Kazimierz Quarter as one thing to do in Krakow as almost all the sites in the quarter are interconnected by stories of the late Renaissance or nazi occupation. Kazimierz is a site of the former Kraków Jewish Ghetto. 

Almost exactly 80 years before our visit, thousands of Jews were killed here. Nowadays, it’s quite a chic hood.

 

What to expect in the Kazimierz Quarter? 

Kazimierz Quarter is a must-visit in Krakow

 

Nowadays, it's a modern and hip neighborhood with a hipster feel and coffee houses. I spent half a day exploring the quarter itself, as many sites listed in separate points, such as the Oskar Schindler Museum or the Banksy Museum, are located here. 

Aside from the attractions mentioned above, you can find multiple synagogues here, especially the Old Synagogue–whose story is focused on the local jews and their life in the city. 

Walk in the Kazimierz streets -> Arguably the most recommended thing to do in Krakow, and unless you have 5 days or more, you can skip it. Sure, it is a nice neighborhood, but you have much more interesting places to see in Krakow than just strolling through old streets.

But if you are going to walk, you can stop in Ulice Ciemna for pierogi or any other Polish food. It has really cool outside gardens.

If you have more days after exploring all the best places to see in Krakow, there should be some time to visit Auschwitz and Wieliczka salt mine.

 

DAY TRIP: visit Auschwitz-Birkenau 

It would be a big mistake to not make a day trip to Auschwitz

 

Practical info: 

• Anyway, it costs 110 zł per general tour, which takes 3.5 hours and is offered in most international languages–PL, EN, DE, RU, ES. While purchasing tickets, you can also donate to the museum. You know me–so donate, don’t be cheap. 
• Parking costs about 20 zł.
• Opening hours: vary by month
  • June–August: 7:30 am–7 pm
  • April, May, September: 7:30 am–6 pm
  • March, October: 7:30 am–5 pm
  • January, November: 7:30 am–3 pm
  • February: 7:30 am–4 pm
  • December: 7:30 am–2 pm

For many people, the main spot to visit in the region is the Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps. The Infamous camps that preserved one of the worst mistakes in the history of mankind and serve as a testament to Europe and Jews–"Never again".

A place where over 1 million people have died until its liberation in January 1945.

Top Tip: Buy online in advance at – https://visit.auschwitz.org – it is the only official site, so you will have the best prices. Don’t buy from resellers and don’t pay unnecessary fees. 

 

What to expect during the visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau 

Auschwitz is huge–be prepared to get your steps in

 

A visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau is well organized, which is also its caveat, as you are going to be herded among thousands of other tourists. 

You will start at the main gate, go through the security, and then you will have a shorter version of visiting just Auschwitz or a longer one visiting also the Birkenau, which I seriously recommend, as you can see the rest of the liquidation camp and ovens.

Prepare to do some walking as the camps are truly massive, especially the Birkenau part, as Auschwitz was microscopic in size compared to Birkenau.

I would count at least 0.5 days for the visit. And count travel time from Krakow—about 1 h drive. Or you can join a preplanned tour from Krakow at viator.com or getyourguide. I would be happy if you use my link with the promo code to help us create content. 

You can read much more about visiting Auschwitz in my Guide:

 

DAY TRIP: Wieliczka Salt Mine 

Wieliczka Salt Mine is delightful
 

Practical info: 

• Tickets cost 128 zł per individual and you can choose from 3 different tours–one is the classical, the second includes some physical activities (miner work), and the third is the salt tower.
• Opening hours: 9 am–5 pm

Before the first time I visited Krakow and Wieliczka, I didn't even know this UNESCO World Heritage Site existed. After I visited it for the 3rd time, I consider it one of the best places to visit in Poland and certainly among the best things to do in Krakow.

 

What to expect at Wieliczka Salt Mine? 

The whole experience at Wieliczka Salt Mine was so fun

As the name suggests, Wieliczka Salt Mine is exactly that, a really huge medieval (13th century) up to modern (1996) times salt mine. You can't visit anything nearly similar to it anywhere in the world. 

You will find a great deal of interesting storytelling by your tour guide, train ride, salt sculptures, massive underground domes, and religious chapels, all made out of salt.

The tour itself is 3-4 km long, depending on the tour you choose, and takes about 1,5 hours. You will need at least some level of fitness as you will walk down a lot of stairs. 

In total, there are 280km of tunnels, and it go as deep as 327 m underground. You can expect between 14 and 18 degrees, and only 1% of the mine is visible on tour.

Top Tip: In high season, you should buy your tickets in advance. This is the only official site - https://www.wieliczka-saltmine.com/. , and everyone else is a reseller. Or if you are in Krakow and don't have a car, you can buy a tour on GetYourGuide.

The surrounding areas of Wieliczka Salt Mine are also worth a visit– hence the day trip
 

Other places you can visit on site are:

• Graduation Tower–extra fee 8 zł, it is meh

• Wieliczka Castle

• Wieliczka Town Square

I recommend spending at least half a day in Wieliczka Salt Mine so you can manage the visit to the Wieliczka Castle and the small town as well.

 

Conclusion: Is Krakow worth visiting? 

Krakow is a hidden gem–be sure to visit

 

Krakow is one of the best cities you can visit in Europe and certainly the best in Poland. There is so much to do, to keep you busy for even 10 days if you fancy. From modern art museums, through military museums, medieval castles, Renaissance squares and churches, to Auschwitz. 

You will have a hard time finding any more sightseeing-dense place in Poland or anywhere else in the world.
