It mostly shows the historical photos of Cracow and the history of Jews in here. The visit should last around 2h.

To get here, you have to go through a beautiful park (about 20 minutes from the center). The entrance to the mound is paid, but it's worth it. You can also visit the fortifications and then have a cup of coffee or lemonade at the café with a panoramic view of the whole city!

The Underground of the Market Square is an interactive museum, which is located centrally under the Cloth Hall and the Main Square. The big advantage is the temperature there on hot, warm days. At noon, you can catch your breath watching presentations about the history of Krakow or weighing on weight with stones.

⁃Wawel Castle - mainly outside and the court of the castle. Visiting the chambers takes a lot of time, however, they are nice. Wawel is very famous for having a lot of arrases. I recommend going to the dragon’s cave (Wawel Dragon is a symbol of Cracow. When you go outside of the cave there is a dragon’s statue which blows fire every 5 minutes.
