Krakow — 3-day itinerary

One day covers the essentials that lie close together.

Kopalnia soli Wieliczka

A second day lets you go beyond the very centre.

Muzeum Książąt Czartoryskich w Krakowie · Sukiennice · Rynek Główny · Bazylika Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny · Zamek Królewski na Wawelu · Bazylika archikatedralna Świętych Stanisława i Wacława

Three days are comfortable — enough for museums and places further out.

Stara Synagoga · Bazylika Bożego Ciała · Kopiec Krakusa · Płaszów Niemiecki nazistowski obóz koncentracyjny · Fabryka Emalia Oskara Schindlera
