Walking with a guide through the streets of the Old Town, visit the old academic district, see the remains of the former defensive walls and find beautiful decorations on the walls of churches and tenement houses.
As you approach the Market Square, in the distance you can see two asymmetric towers of different heights of the famous St. Mary's Church, a temple with an 800-year history. Its taller tower is 82 meters high, from which a trumpeter plays the famous Marian bugle call every hour.
Enter St. Mary's Church and discover richly decorated vaults, stained glass windows and a treasury full of liturgical objects and vestments. However, the greatest monument is the extraordinary wooden altar. It contains 200 realistically sculpted human figures and was created by a German master.
It is worth asking the guide about the rings and the lantern placed on the church wall, finding out where the line of life and death runs, and where to throw a coin to return to Krakow one day.
