Rynek Underground

Let me save you some times and confusions. The ticket counter and the entrance located separately. Before going to the entrance (which is located on the front part, right corner of the market hall, the one that facing the cathedral), you first need to go to the ticket counter, located at the back side of the market hall. I attached the picture of the hall map. Now about the museum. I started my visit with a bit of underestimating since I assume it is only about a market cloth, but ended up with a feeling of amazement of how diverse their sections are, they even have kids playing room. So my suggestion is not to spend too much time at the beginning because the cool stuff was at nearly end. This museum is quite unique, located underground and has witnessed many changes of event, only on this small site. Many relics displayed how it was a graveyard, a market, then became a huge International hub of trade decades ago. To better understand the history of Krakow and if you wanna sit and chill, they provide some rooms to watch movies about the history divided into some periods, very interesting and informative. All facilities are well maintained. I came on Tuesday when the entrance is free and spend almost 2 hours inside. They have limited tickets on free day and close early at 3 pm, so better come early.

A great (literal) alternative view of Krakow, via the archaeological remnants of old building foundations, mainly from the 12th and 13th centuries. Well presented with modern technology including touchscreen points and holograms. There’s also a section near the end with some well produced videos that take a dive into the overall history of Krakow. A must!

It's incredible what is below our feet well worth a visit so much history going back over a thousand years the ticket office is just around the corner from the entrance. A few steps down and you find yourself going back to the start of Krakow it's rather dark inside so it's a struggle to see what is around you so take your time we spent over two hours under ground reading listings to the highest of the past

Interesting place really cool to be underground the main square and understand the real history behind how Krakow came to be now. Lots of interesting things for the kids and they have tried to make it as active as possible with videos. I would recommend coming but you don't need anymore then 2 hours here. Something to do if your looking to do stuff in-between.

Brilliant place to visit. Amazing to see what it was like back in 14th century. You can see the layers in the earth that have built up. The archeological finds are fascinating, including pins, jewellery, shoes etc. Tip1: the ticket office is one side of cloth hall and the entrance is the other side. Tip2: You can leave your coats for free in their cloak room
