About Rynek Podziemny
The Rynek Podziemny offers an archaeological visit beneath Kraków’s main square. The route allows you to discover layers of circulation and commerce not visible on the surface walk, using remains to explain the formation of the old market.
The exhibition combines excavated structures, objects and interpretive resources about urban life. The theme differs from that of a mine or cave: this is the city and its changes in level and organization, in a circuit linked to the Rynek space.
Book in advance on the official website and check the language and access instructions. The visit can occupy a rainy period, but it requires time for reading and understanding the remains. When you return to the square, note the positions of the Sukiennice and the streets to relate the exhibition to the urban layout.
