Renaissance-style market arcade with 13th-century origins & a 19th-century Polish art museum.via Google

The world's oldest shopping mall, a Renaissance structure in the center of the main square still filled with souvenir and craft stalls.

Good to know
Head upstairs to visit the Gallery of 19th-Century Polish Art.

The market hall looks magnificent and is well maintained. It blends in nicely with the surrounding square. Even though the square is very touristy, its spaciousness makes you feel at ease. You can buy various tourist souvenirs in the market hall—I can’t comment on the prices.

For youth, it is free, as well as for seniors and children. Many people just walk through it as there are stands within its exterior hallway corridor, and the gallery entrance is on the northern part, a bit hard to spot. The interior is really nice, and the gallery itself consists of Polish authors from the transition time between realism and impressionism, thus creating a new discourse in Polish art. Many such pieces are visually appealing, and it was a really nice gallery, with no crowd whatsoever. An absolute recommendation.

Great marketplace in the heart of Krakow. I didn’t realise this was a museum until I started writing this review. Most people would just stroll through it and look at the shop stalls, which is also what we did.

Didn't go inside the museum but its a beautiful building with shops dotted around the outside. One of the best city main squares/areas I've seen

We really enjoyed the market hall as we have not had too much experience with them before. It's definitely crowded, but the shops lining both sides are fun to peruse and purchase from. We got our 'travel ornament' from one of the vendors.
