Krakow's Rynek Glowny Central Square
No. 6 of Best Things to Do in Poland

Krakow's Rynek Glowny Central Square

5.7
4.5/5
79 reviews
The central square in Krakow can be called the largest medieval square in Europe. It is also a very exciting place in Krakow. It is warm and vibrant. Many people come to Krakow to experience the authentic local customs of Poland. The brick red Church of the Virgin Mary on the square is the symbol of Krakow, and when the sun shines, it emits a charming warm red. The textile hall with a white Renaissance building in the middle has now been converted into a shopping mall and a museum. The dazzling amber accessories, dishes, Polish dolls, gloves and sweaters in the shopping mall are the reasons why tourists love to stop. As the hour approaches, people walking and drinking coffee in the square will stop and pay their respects to the church - when the hour arrives, the small window at the top of the church bell tower will open and a golden trumpet sticks out , playing a piece of tune loudly, and after the end, the player will wave to the people below, so there will be whistles and applause from people in the square. The tradition of playing the trumpet is to commemorate the invasion of nomads from the Mongolian plateau in the 8th century, when an enemy soldier shot an arrow through the throat of the player at that time, and the sound stopped abruptly. To commemorate this soldier, until now, the horn sounded on the hour was abruptly terminated at that moment.Krakow · 12.4 km from Wieliczka

As Poland's second largest city and former capital, it was fortunately spared the war during World War II and has completely preserved its historical relics. It has scenery, history, delicious food, cultural heritage, good public security, low prices, high-quality locals, and English is widely spoken. It is worth a visit.

This is Europe's largest medieval square, covering 4 hectares. It is surrounded by colorful buildings, cafes, and street performers. The Sukiennice, the cloth hall in the center of the square, was built in the 13th century and was originally a textile market and one of Europe's important trading centers. Today, it is a shopping paradise for handicrafts and amber jewelry.
