Rynek Underground - The Krakow Undergrounds Museum on the Market Square, opened in 2010, is a kind of archaeological park where you can observe pictures of the life of a large, bustling medieval city. With the help of modern technology, the authors of the project created the ideal illusion of a lively medieval city.
At a depth of several metres below the surface of the Main Market Square, from the Cloth Hall to St Mary’s Church, awaits a true treasure trove of information on Kraków’s past. In 4000-square-meters underground there are streets and stands of thousands years old, and there is atmosphere of the market square - you can hear merchants talking and carts creaking. Scales, coins, clothes, jeweleries and even human remains - all the artefacts were found during the excavations.
Walk into the depths of Krakow on a 1.5-hour guided tour of Rynek Underground Museum accompanied by a professional English-speaking guide, and discover the medieval market stalls and the city’s rich history. -

Krakow, akin to all major urban centers, is perennially evolving, and the most interesting aspect for visitors is rediscovering the city’s history. Some remnants of bygone eras are visible ‘on top’, while others require a short descent below ground, to the chambers of the Market Square Underground Museum. Explore this archaeological sanctuary where vibrant scenes of a bustling, large city are recreated using modern methods. Examine the remains of structures from the Middle Ages that once lined the city’s main square, find coins that belonged to the merchants of that era, listen to tales of public punishments meted out by the executioner and learn about historical standards of measures and weights. The museum visit combines education and entertainment, blurring the line between history and folklore. Perfect for children as well.
