It is best to explore the medieval capital of Poland with a guide who can provide detailed explanations about all the attractions in Krakow in Russian. Many of these landmarks have a history intertwined with dramatic events.
Take, for example, the magnificent Mariacki Church, renowned for its interior. According to legend, the church's towers were constructed by two rival brothers, and one of them killed the other, resulting in one tower being higher than the other.
The church is located on the main square of the city, the Market Square, and a map of Krakow's attractions indicates the abundance of other historical and architectural landmarks in this area.
Pay attention to the Town Hall Tower, which is considered an analog of the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa: its top leans half a meter from the base. And you certainly won't miss the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice) market stalls, as this ornate building is one of the most striking decorations on the Market Square.

Wawel Castle - photos of this Krakow landmark are rightfully considered the city's calling card. The castle, which served as the residence of Polish kings for almost half a century, houses several interesting historical exhibitions. However, even just walking around the grounds of this majestic complex will leave you with a multitude of impressions.
In addition, the city is home to nearly two dozen museums. Get a map describing Krakow's attractions, with names in Russian, and be sure to visit at least some of them. For example, the Underground Market Museum, located beneath the Market Square, is considered the most unusual and memorable. Although the museum is dedicated to the city's history, the use of modern technology in the exhibits has made it truly "interactive" and very interesting for both adults and children.
