A perfect day in Krakow

Krakow is such a city that is's a sin to spend here only one day but it would be much worse not to be here at all. Lets then take a short walk through.

Sleep well to wake up happy and ready for an exciting day. Have you overslept ? Don't worry! A cup of coffee in a café at one of mediaeval streets around Rynek will surely set you on your feet. Then start your walk from Matejki square. A big monument with a man on a horse will help you to recognise it. It's a Polish king - Wladyslaw Jagiello. Passing by you must notice a round building called Barbakan. Then go through the Florianska gate where Florianska Street begins. Pass Florianska street to get to Rynek. Spend a few minutes just walking around. You can see there a long passage (Sukiennice) with small stalls , a monument of Mickiewicz (a famous Polish poet) which is usually a meeting place. A high gothic church you can notice nearby (Saint Mary's church) with wooden polyptych. OK. Enough. It's time to go further.

Take the Grodzka Street and go straight ahead until you see a baroque church on the left - it's a Saint Peter and Paul church. Then turn right into Kanonicza Street. At the end of this a street Wawel Kings castle will appear. After visiting the castle you will surely be hungry. So lets go back to the centre to eat  something. I propose to go through Planty (a kind of park with old big trees).
