What lies under the square
Going down the steps takes you to the level of the cobbled streets of 12th and 13th-century Krakow. The museum is built on the ruins of the oldest settlements and shows excavated remains of buildings, monuments and even a cemetery with skeletons, along with videos about the city's development.
How the tour works
You meet in Market Square at the indicated time. The guide first tells the story of the square, covering 800 years of trade and royal parades, then leads the way down into the museum and along the underground route. The guide explains why the streets lie so far below today's ground level and what the first traders' lives were like. At the end you return to street level.
Admission to the sites mentioned is included in the booking, so you do not need to buy a ticket separately.
Who it suits
It suits you if you want to understand what Krakow was like in the Middle Ages and prefer a live explanation to walking the route alone. No minimum age is given.
