Description

With your skip-the-line ticket and an expert local guide, you’ll explore nearly 4,000 square meters of underground paths, merchant stalls, and archaeological remains. Multimedia installations—holograms, touchscreens, and films—recreate the bustle of medieval Kraków, from merchants’ calls to the creak of carts. Highlights include reconstructions of 11th-century burials, traces of ancient streets, and unique artifacts that illustrate Kraków’s role as a thriving trade hub. You’ll also see how daily life was shaped by craftsmen, merchants, and travelers passing through one of Central Europe’s busiest markets. Your guide enriches the journey with stories about commerce, religion, and the turbulent history revealed during excavations. The tour lasts around 1.5 hours. For groups of 15 or more, headsets are provided so everyone can clearly hear the commentary. When you return to the surface, the Main Square—with St. Mary’s Basilica and the Cloth Hall towering above—will feel different, transformed by the hidden history you’ve just explored. Centuries of life, trade, and tradition hidden beneath your feet now come alive, leaving you with a deeper understanding of the city at its very heart.
