Description

The 'Royal Route,' historically used by all royal processions from the Florian Gate to the Royal Castle on Wawel Hill, spans Kraków from north to south. Today, it's a cherished tourist path highlighting several significant landmarks: - Pijarska St. was once the gateway for triumphant kings, diplomats, and esteemed guests. St. Florian’s Gate, now symbolic of Kraków, warmly welcomes arriving tourists. - Florianska St., a renowned thoroughfare, leads straight to the Main Market Square. Once hosting royal ceremonies, it now boasts shops, restaurants, and clubs. - The Main Market Square (Rynek Główny) is Kraków's central hub, Europe's largest medieval Market Square. It showcases the city's essence, including the historic Cloth Hall, a Renaissance architectural gem. - Town Hall Tower, standing tall for over 700 years on the square, offers a glimpse into the city's history with its 70-meter height, 110 stone steps, and remnants of the original city authorities' seat. - St. Mary's Basilica, an eight-century-old church, dazzles with Veit Stoss's high altar and Jan Matejko's star-strewn murals, all within Kraków's heart. - Grodzka St., among the oldest streets, forms part of the Royal Route, leading from the city gates to Wawel. - St. Peter and Paul Church, embodying Roman baroque architecture, stands prominently in Kraków's panorama with its stone façade and masterful dome. - St. Andrew’s Church, one of the city's oldest, captivates with its austere Romanesque form and surprises within with lavish baroque and rococo interiors. - Kanonicza St., a picturesque lane steeped in history, showcases houses with rich origins tracing back to the 14th century.
