Krakow Rynek Underground Museum Tour

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.

Description

We'll meet in Market Square at the indicated time, in the heart of Krakow. From there, we'll explore the city's rich history, spanning 800 years of significant events, from prosperous commercial exchanges to grand royal parades.

First, we'll explore the square before walking down the steps into Rynek Underground Museum, going back in time to discover Krakow’s eventful history. We'll descend 4 meters (13 feet) underground to the level of the cobblestone streets of 12th and 13th-century Krakow and learn why these streets are so far underground and the secrets of the first traders.

In the atmosphere of the subway museum, we'll leave present-day Krakow and travel more than 1,000 years into the past. Built on the ruins of the oldest settlements, the Rynek Underground Museum will provide insights into the historical buildings and the way of life of the first inhabitants of Krakow.

Throughout our guided tour of the Rynek Underground, our guide will reveal what Krakow was like during the Middle Ages while you wander through the underground route. We'll watch videos about the city’s development and admire the excavated remains of numerous buildings, monuments, and even a cemetery with skeletons!

After 1.5 hours of exploration, we'll return to street level and conclude our tour, having discovered old Krakow.
