Lunch
For almost 800 years the Market Square has been the central square of Royal
Cracow! What has not happened here only during this time! Trade rows were
selling goods from all over the world and Krakow merchants made their fortunes
from it, the city authorities strictly monitored the order, in the dungeons of
the Town Hall the executioner tortured the suspects, and the kings parade
through the square to get to their castle. What a time it was... But these
times are not entirely missing! Even today you can find the most interesting
traces of past events on Market Square, and even more so under Market Square!
We invite you to take a walk on one of the most beautiful squares in Europe
with a visit to the Dungeon Market Historical and Archaeological Museum!
What awaits you.
Market square - the heart of Krakow
First we will walk around the square itself, find the most interesting
artifacts of the old times and unravel their purpose, find out what events
took place here, what legendary persons have been here.
After that we will go 4 metres underground to the Dungeon Market Museum to
find ourselves on the same level as the cobbled roads of Krakow 12-13th
century.
